Django: distutils errors when installing requirements.txt

Question

I am trying to setup my app in a fresh computer but I am having trouble installing the requirements.txt file.

It fails when trying to install this package in particular:

django-generic-m2m==0.2.2

I tried running pip install django-generic-m2m==0.2.2 and indeed I got the same error message, which is an exception thrown by the convert_path(pathname) method in the utils.py file from distutils.

I really don't know what do to. These are not my files, so how can I even figure out how to fix the scripts?

Has anybody had this problem in the past? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It was a bug in the package, they fixed it in the version 0.3.1.
