Installation requiring bitbucket login about riak-python-client

[kencochrane]

I had the same issue so I spent a little bit of time to try and figure out what is going on. This is what I found out.

Pip looks at this page to find out what version to install: http://pypi.python.org/simple/riak/

It reads the page and starts parsing the links, and on that page it lists all of the versions in pypi: 1.0.0 to 1.3.0.

For releases up to 1.2.1 the home page was on bitbucket.

The page it is trying to get to is https://bitbucket.org/basho/riak-python-client

if you curl that page:

$ curl -v https://bitbucket.org/basho/riak-python-client
....
< HTTP/1.1 401 UNAUTHORIZED
....

You get the unauthorized page, which prompts the bitbucket login.

If you go to that url in your browser it will redirect you to this page. https://bitbucket.org/basho/riak-python-client/wiki/Home telling you that this is a private repo and that it has moved to github.

So the way that you can fix this issue is to do the following.

1. Login to pypi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=login
2. On the upper right hand corner you should see a list of your packages, click on riak, the url will look something like this. http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=pkg_edit&name=riak This will take you to the Package 'riak' Editing page
3. On this page you will notice all of the versions for riak that are installed in pypi. Click on the edit links for 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, and 1.1.1.
4. This will take you to the page where you can edit the PKG-INFO for riak. Change the Home Page from bitbucket to https://github.com/basho/riak-python-client
5. At the bottom of the page click "add information" button
6. repeat for the other versions until 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, and 1.1.1. all have the github home page.

Once this is done, it will take a little bit (not sure how long) but it will update the http://pypi.python.org/simple/riak/ page and all of the bitbucket links will be gone.

once those links are gone, so will the bitbucket login during pip install.

Hope this helps,

Ken

@kencochrane Thanks for the information, I have fixed those links.

Thank you for fixing those links. Now we just need to wait until the PyPI mirrors are updated. unfortunately some are over 4 months out of date.

@kencochrane I suppose there's no way to effect that propagation?

[kencochrane]

I have submitted a ticket to see if they can get the mirrors updated.

@kencochrane You rock.

Down to only 1 mirror being out of date. I created a simple website to track the mirror statuses, so hopefully it won't be long now before they are all in sync.
