[Solved] [python2] "from setuptools import setup,find_packages"

Running

 from setuptools import setup,find_packages

as a normal user in python2 is causing a permissions error. Anybody have a solution for this? The main issue is that this prevents a python package from building using makepkg as a normal user.

Here's the full trace:

usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/h5py-1.3.0-py2.7.egg-info/top_level.txt

try to fix this file permission. is it our package? pacman -Qo /path/to/file

I just went through the other top_level.txt files and noticed the permissions on this were incorrect.

No, the package is from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19334). I'll make a fix and add a comment there.

Thanks!
