Just tested a clone of the current pywbem repo (20151125) on a Debian
Wheezy.

# cat /etc/debian_version
7.2

# uname -a
Linux debian-wheezy 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The setup fails because a newer version of setuptools is required.

# python setup.py install
Error: The required version of setuptools (>=12.0) is not available, and
can't be
installed while this script is running. Please install the required version
first, using:

    pip install --upgrade setuptools>=12.0


Wheezy ships with:

# dpkg -l | grep setuptool | awk '{print $2" "$3}'
python-setuptools 0.6.24-1
python-setuptools-git 0.4.2-1


So I installed python-pip and ran:

# pip install --upgrade setuptools>=12.0

Now the setup started and seems to be successful. Full output can be found
here:

Verified pywbem in python:

root@debian-wheezy:~/src/pywbem/src# python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan  2 2013, 13:56:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pywbem
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution("pywbem").version
'0.8.0rc1'
>>>


Thanks again.

cheers,
Claudio
