Trac 1.0.1 does not find babel

[anton]

I just updated from Trac 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 on my python 2.7 (32bit) trac on windows 7 64 bit.

I use german localisation which does not work ynamore in trac 1.0.1:

• All is in english
• In preferences I can't change the language and I see an error message:
  Note: Translations are currently unavailable. Trac has been localized to more than a dozen of languages but in order to be able to use them, the Babel package needs to be present when installing Trac. See TracInstall for details.

But my babel 0.9.6 *is* installed.

So I switch back to 1.0.0 and I see my german language again.

PS: I can't set the version to 1.0.1 in your trac because its missing!

I just re-installed from scratch:

• once with the win32.exe installer
• once with from the .zip

In both cases, I could see the interface in German.

Now testing easy_install -U … maybe this is the problematic case.

Observation I made:

• I installed trac-1.0.1 like trac 1.0.0 with
  python setup.py install
• the created trac-1.0.0 egg has 3.5 MB, but the trac-1.0.1 egg has only 1.9 MB and when I look in the egg, I see that the "locale" directory is missing.

and … I downloaded the following trac: ​http://download.edgewall.org/trac/Trac-1.0.1.zip

Hm, no. Even an easy_install -U Trac (on top of a 1.0 version installed via Trac-1.0.win32.exe) worked.

Then you don't have Babel correctly installed.

From the same shell where you started python setup.py install, could you please do:

python -c 'import babel; print babel.__version__'

Here is the result:

D:\install\python\trac\Trac-1.0>python -c "import babel; print babel.__version__"
0.9.6

… but wait: I just unzipped again the Trac-1.0.zip and did again python setup.py install in the unzipped Trac-1.0 directory…

now my Trac-1.0-py2.7.egg is only 1.9 MB too, so it seems to be something else (some python package I installed in the meantime) which interferes with the setup.py !

I have distribute-0.6.32-py2.7.egg installed, I will update to the new one and retry.

[anton]

Hurra !

It works now:

• I installed: distribute-0.6.34-py2.7.egg
• I rebuild Trac-1.0.1 with python setup.py install
• I see that the Trac-1.0.1-py2.7.egg has now 4.376.680 Bytes

I run it and I see my german again.

Merci Christian :-)

[Christian Boos]

Which anton is this? ;-)

[anonymous]

Anton Müller, you don't know me but I know you speak french :-)

[anton]

Anyway I think you can close this ticket, or perhaps you want to add a note somewhere in the install docs.

From my part, you can close it.

[Christian Boos]

Indeed I do, and I just happen to have a few Anton friends as well ;-)

And well, if we hear again about distribute issues, we'll indeed add a note to the install docs.

Have a nice day, and enjoy your 1.0.1 release!

I had the same issue. Neither Babel 0.9 nor 1.3 seemed to work. The only variant which worked:

• easy_install babel (will currently be 1.3)
• easy_install genshi (currently 0.7)
• easy_install trac will not work! no locales
• download tgz source of Trac 1.0.1
• python setup.py update_catalog

(this seems not done during install, but without it you'll end up without locales)

• python setup.py install

FINALLY: Trac egg is around 4.2 megs and locales are there.

This issue is a duplicate of #11640, which is reproduced when it is installed by easy_install and egg file is created by bdist_egg.
