[okfn-help] Beta testing new datapkg release

Mon Oct 18 20:55:18 BST 2010

Had errors with PIP without virtuaenv using this install procedure:

sudo apt-get install python python-setuptools python-pip
sudo pip install datapkg

Error log: http://pastebin.com/ghkH5c7n

It seems to be related to URLgrabber.

Same error occurred using virtualenv:

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
virtualenv your_virtual_env
pip -E your_virtual_env install datapkg
