requests version conflict about bugwarrior

[ralphbean]

Oof. This is the problem with the setuptools library. bugwarrior (at this point in time) definitely requires requests 0.14.2. Something else on your system requires requests>=1.0.0.. but there is no easy way to tell what.

I think the near-term solution for your issue is to install bugwarrior in a virtualenv -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5844869/comprehensive-beginners-virtualenv-tutorial This is actually what I do when I run bugwarrior.

The long-term solution is for me to get bugwarrior up to date and running against a modern version of requests. I'll leave this ticket open and track progress on that here.

Sorry for the hassle.

It looks like the jira-python package requires requests >= 1.0.0. When I install bugwarrior in a virtualenv, it grabs jira, which grabs its required version of requests; when it completes the installation of bugwarrior, I run into the same problem as before. I'm guessing that with an earlier version of jira-python, it should depend on the older version of requests.

Can you try again with bugwarrior-0.6.0. That release should hopefully solve this issue. If not, please re-open the ticket and let me know what happened.

It now installs without a hitch, but I'm getting a different error (possibly related to my configuration of bugzilla). Thanks for changing the python-requests constraint!

np! If you run into further problems with bugzilla, please open another issue here with the traceback, etc.. Bugzilla has been tricky (constantly changing XMLRPC api..).
