Easy Install Way Fails

[arch_o_median]

After installing via the "easy_install way", I am unable to locate the "tahoe" executable.

That excerpt shows that when you ran "easy_install allmydata-tahoe", easy_install searched around and decided that the version of tahoe -- v0.4.0 -- that was already installed on your computer was good enough.

I would have thought that it would have looked at ​http://pypi.python.org/pypi/allmydata-tahoe

and chosen to install a newer version (v0.6.1) from there!

So this needs to be investigated/reproduced.

archie: could you just right now run "easy_install -v allmydata-tahoe" and paste the complete output into this ticket? Thanks!

I wonder if you were off-net at the time that you did it earlier and it stayed with v0.4.0.

That would explain it.

You were at the Hack Fest.

I think I was online at the time. Here's some new diagnostics.

A-ha! easy_install does not upgrade by default -- if it finds a version of the package already present then it is satisfied. If you request a specific version, e.g.:

easy_install 'allmydata-tahoe > 0.6'

Or if you give it the "upgrade to latest" flag:

easy_install -U allmydata-tahoe

Then it will not be satisfied with the current package if that one is too old.
