Installing M2Crypto

Question

I'm trying to install the braintree python module, which requires M2Crypto. I've addded the /usr/include/openssl dir to my ~/.pydistutils.cfg file, as described here, but now I'm getting the following error:

(som)[mediastreet@dweb76 M2Crypto-0.21]$ python setup.py test

I have python aliased to python2.6 in my ~/.bash_profile for convenience. The above shows that I was attempting a 'manual' install (downloading source and running setup.py), but I get the same result with easy_install-2.6 (or easy_install-2.5, for that matter).

I'm not sure what to do at this point, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I spent a while debugging this and I discovered the files it wants are actually missing from the tarbal they provide but are in the SVN repo,

Tarball

http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/M/M2Crypto/M2Crypto-0.21.tar.gz#md5=0057b9d04c821ebf3fdbadeb5a3acb36

SVN source

http://svn.osafoundation.org/m2crypto/tags/0.21/

I was able to get past the above error by checking out everything in the SWIG directory manually.

Hi, I am having the same issue. Can you tell me how to check out everything in the SWIG directory manually?

You can check out the svn repository using:

svn checkout http://svn.osafoundation.org/m2crypto/tags/0.21/ m2crypto-0.21

the SWIG directory will be contained within.
