install of Trac XML-RPC Plugin fails using supplied instructions

[jrem@…]

This plugin is unable to be installed since the instruction

# easy_install -Z -U http://trac-hacks.org/svn/xmlrpcplugin/trunk

fails with error: Unexpected HMTL page found at ​http://trac-hacks.org/svn/xmlrpcplugin/trunk

while also there is no clear instruction as to how to install the given zip file.

Unzipping the file and cd'ing into the directory where setup.py is then running the command:

# python setup.py tracrpc

didn't work either. The result is a directive on usage followed by invalid command 'tracrpc'

Run out of guesses as to what to try next...

If you download the source or do a checkout, then just running the setup file with appropriate command - like:

$ python setup.py install

See python setup.py --help and --help-commands for details of setup capabilities and options.

The error you are seeing is some setuptools/subversion bug of some sort - seen it reported elsewhere, but never really looked into the specifics of the actual error. Not really related to the plugin, and not much I can do about it.

Unpacking the zip, moving into the directory where setup.py is, then running the command:

python setup.py install

worked.

Was trying to get TracExplorer working with visual studio and this was what was needed to get it working, and it does, so all good now.
