Description Kenjiro Nakayama 2015-09-17 05:54:25 UTC

Description of problem:
---

Some packages (like PyJWT,djangorestframework-xml) getting UnicodeDecodeError during the installation due to the obsolete setuptools versoin.

Additional info:
---
We can avoid this issue after setuptools update by hand. However we need to build the gear by jenkins, so still need setuptools update.

Reproduce steps:
---
Step-1. Create python-3.3 application

$ rhc app-create helloworld python-3.3

Step-2. Modify setup.py like below

$ cd helloworld/
$ vi setup.py
~~~
from setuptools import setup

packages = [
'djangorestframework-jwt==1.7.2',
'djangorestframework-xml==1.0.1',
]

setup(name='helloworld',
version='1.0',
description='OpenShift App',
author='Your Name',
author_email='example',
url='http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/',
install_requires=packages,
)
~~~~

Step-3. git push

$ git commit -am "test"
$ git push

Step-4. You can see the error like below

Comment 3 Andy Grimm 2015-09-18 18:29:30 UTC

OpenShift Online simply pulls this package from SCL, so if there is an issue with setuptools, it belongs with the SCL team.

Comment 4 Andy Grimm 2015-09-18 19:19:45 UTC

FWIW, this issue happens when the locale is unset in an OpenShift gear, and locale.getpreferredencoding is returning ANSI_X3.4-1968.  A user can work around this simply with:  rhc setenv LANG=en_US.UTF-8
