Description of problem: The python3-ipython-console.fc18 package does not depend on python3-setuptools.fc18 package, such that if yum is used to install an Python 3 version of IPython, setuptools is not brought in automatically. This can lead to an ImportError being raised when IPython tries to import pkg_resources. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure that python3-setuptools is not installed. 2. 'yum install python3-ipython-console' 3. 'ipython3' Actual results: $ ipython3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ipython3", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ImportError: No module named 'pkg_resources' Expected results: $ ipython3 Python 3.3.0 (default, Sep 29 2012, 22:07:38) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. IPython 0.13.2 -- An enhanced Interactive Python Additional info: The metapackage python3-ipython correctly installs python3-setuptools as a dependency.
Fixed in git. Unable to build for other reasons at the moment (will be fixed soonish).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
