[Solved] pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound error

I'm trying to create an AUR package.
Here:

# Maintainer: kryptxy <kryptxy@protonmail.com>

pkgname=torrench
pkgver=1.0.1.20160806
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Command-line torrent search tool"
arch=('any')
url="https://github.com/kryptxy/torrench"
license=('GPL')
depends=("python" "python-beautifulsoup4" "python-lxml" "python-requests" "python-termcolor" "python-tabulate")
makedepends=("python-setuptools")
provides=("torrench")
conflicts=("torrench")
source=('git+https://github.com/kryptxy/torrench.git')
md5sums=('SKIP')

build() {
	cd "$pkgname"
	python setup.py build	
}

package() {
	cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
	python setup.py install --prefix=/usr --root="${pkgdir}" --optimize=1
}

The package builds and installs successfully. But when I try to run it, I get following error:

$ torrench "ubuntu"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/torrench", line 6, in <module>

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'bs4' distribution was not found and is required by torrench

I checked, bs4 is installed in the system. But I'm still getting this error. [I am able to import bs4 from python interactive shell]

Project link: https://github.com/kryptxy/torrench

Help please.

Re: [Solved] pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound error

That's not the name of the python package. It's called beautifulsoup4, and that is what setuptools will look for when it attempts to check runtime dependencies.
The import path (bs4) is completely irrelevant.

I'm guessing there is a bad install_requires in that setup.py

That was the issue. Changing bs4 to beautifulsoup4 fixed it Thanks.

You've hit the max field length, you need to delete a few characters. I'd suggest...

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
