I have been working with Flexget for a month or two now and after a fresh install due to a hardware issue, I have a problem that I can't fix. I upgraded my packages on my machine and my Python upgraded from 2.6 to 2.7. At that point I started to have issues with Flexget running properly. It was giving me an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/flexget", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2659, in <module>
parse_requirements(__requires__), Environment()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 546, in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: SQLAlchemy==0.7.4

I tried re-installing the Flexget software as was suggested somewhere else and it seems to go fine until the end when it says: error: Could not find required distribution FlexGet==1.0r2699.

At this point I started looking into ways to uninstall flexget and try to reinstall fresh, but whenever I try to install any package I get the same type of error as above.

Do you have any thoughts?

Hi SirScott

I had a similar error yesterday when I ran

Which had up until then upgraded to the latest revision with no problem at all.

The recommended course of action on the Flexget website is to run..

to clear out any remaining egg files, then rerun the upgrade.

Unfortunately this had no effect for me. So I ran.....

to make sure the python setuptools were still ok.
Then

This installed an older revision than the one upgrade attempted.

And low it came to pass that Flexget was working again and I could download the Wittertainment podcast I was after.

I'll admit here and know, I don't know which bit fixed the problem. I also haven't tried running....

again. I think I will probably wait until we are off r2699 now you've had an issue too.
