JIRA Python installation question

[Victor Hsu]

Hi,

No sure if it is right place to ask this question.

I just installed jira-python tool in my Win7 with pip tool.

However, when I try to use jirashell. Python gives me such error message. I am not familiar with python.

Can someone give me some hint for how to fix ? thanks

F:\MyProgram\dist\pip-1.2.1>jirashell

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "F:\Python2.7\Scripts\jirashell-script.py", line 5, in <module>

from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

File "F:\Python2.7\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg\pkg_resources

.py", line 2607, in <module>

Did you perform the installation as per the docs at http://jira-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ ? It says to install using "pip install jira-python"

(I am assuming that you are referring to the same)

It mentions a lot of dependencies and you exception looks to be a dependency issue and looks like you have just downloaded the distribution.

[Victor Hsu]

Yes. I use pip install and it helps to install a lot of modules...

I don't understand why I still can't use jirashell.

@Renjith is right, you need to run "pip install jira-python" rather than what the instructions say ("pip install jira").

Yes, using "pip install jira-python" worked for me.

You can use python in Windows. Just make sure Python is in your PATH environmental variable.
