Cheeseshop mirror broken? about facebook-sdk

It looks like this was an issue with the official Python SDK as well (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6976548/package-in-pypi-not-installable-by-pip)

I haven't maintained a PyPI package myself, but it looks like you need to push an archive to PyPI containing either an egg or the source.

For example, compare the facebook-sdk page (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/facebook-sdk) to facepy (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/facepy)

And as you point out on pythonforfacebook.com, you can use this command to pull it down from github directly:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/pythonforfacebook/facebook-sdk.git#egg=facebook-sdk

(this also works with requirements.txt files, just drop the pip install part)

@aidanlister, could you push an update to PyPi like @sean-lynch suggested?

+1 on this issue.

This should be fixed by 15d284f and the upload of version 0.3.0 (aka "the current state of master") to PyPi.

[aidanlister]

Yay!

@neilkumar, this package's name is facebook-sdk, not facebook-python-sdk.

[neilkumar]

Ah. Both show up on pip search -

$ pip search facebook | grep sdk
facebook-sdk              - This client library is designed to support the Facebook Graph API and the official Facebook JavaScript SDK, which is the canonical way to implement Facebook authentication.
facebook-python-sdk       - This client library is designed to support the Facebook Graph API and the official Facebook JavaScript SDK, which is the canonical way to implement Facebook authentication.

If you go to facebook-python-sdk's PyPi page, you will see that it is owned by "alex_ndc" and points at Facebok's Python SDK repository on Github, which has been deleted. I will see if I can get in touch with the owner and ask him to remove it.
