python setuptools gives 'ImportError: No module named version' error

anatolik · 2015-01-18 06:37:54

I am trying to install hdctools-git from AUR and it fails in install() with following error. This package was fine last time I installed it about 2 months ago. My gut feeling says the error comes either from recent python2-setuptools or python2 package update. But my python skills are not good enough to figure out how to solve the problem.

Does anybody know what is going here?

I am getting the same problem. Uninstalling python2-daemon fixed it for me, as suggested here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/27996309/646735

I have also logged an upstream issue here: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/i … ed-version

I confirm that removing python2-daemon makes the error go away.
