#212 Install hangs on certain egg versions

[Rob Cakebread]

When trying to install 4suite 1.0.2 it would hang and consume all my memory after a few minutes.

The install hangs at Lib/DistExt/Dist.py line 721

headers = email.message_from_file(stream)

I found that a couple of eggs would make it stall at that line, consuming all my memory, if the egg version was non-numeric (I think). The one egg I remember moving had a version of 'dev_svn' or 'dev-svn'.

Un-installing the offending eggs allowed the nstallation to complete successfully.

I'm using Python 2.5, Gentoo Linux.

I have the same problem with 4Suite 1.0.2 on Ubuntu. When I launch ./setup install then it consumes all my cpu and memory usage is growing fast until my system crashes.

$ python --version
Python 2.5.1

I don't think I have any egg though.. I will check.

I confirm that I don't have other eggs on my system:

I removed all 4Suite related files I could find on the hard drive but it still won't install. Any idea?
