Invalid module name (tracdownloads.tags) during build

[anonymous]

During building of an egg of the Downloads Plugin an error is reported: "error in TracDownloads setup command: ('Invalid module name', 'tracdownloads.tags ')".

The error occurs during both manual build using command "python setup.py bdist_egg" and easy build using "easy_install ​http://trac-hacks.org/svn/downloadsplugin/"

I think that your problem is caused by version of your setuptools. I'm using 0.6rc3 and everything goes fine. There is used extras_require in DownloadsPlugin which was introduced in 0.5a4 if I read change log correctly. What is your setuptools version?

Hi,

the version of setuptools I am using is 0.6a9-1ubuntu1, which comes from the Ubuntu repository and is installed as a package through apt-get utility.

Hello again,

I removed the mentioned setuptools and installed a 0.6c7 version. After this all worked well.

Thank you for your help.

OK, I'm closing this then.
