[yt-users] Installing a development version alongside an Anaconda installation

[Daniel Fenn]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get a development version of yt going on a remote machine. I
originally installed yt on that machine using Anaconda, and that's been
working well. Since the Anaconda installation takes care of all the
dependencies, I hoped I would just be able to install the development
version and not have to worry about any of that.

I created a directory called yt in my home directory, then cloned the yt
repository:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt .

Then I ran hg update yt in the same directory, and then

python setup.py develop

also in the same directory. That almost immediately returns with the
following error:

File "setup.py", line 17, in <module>
    if StrictVersion(setuptools.__version__) < StrictVersion('0.7.0'):
  File "/<homedir>/miniconda/lib/python2.7/distutils/version.py", line 40,
in __init__
    self.parse(vstring)
  File "/<homedir>/miniconda/lib/python2.7/distutils/version.py", line 107,
in parse
    raise ValueError, "invalid version number '%s'" % vstring
ValueError: invalid version number '0.6c11'

I'm not sure what this means. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks,

Dan
