I installed virtualenv and then tried installing MySQL-Python using pip ( after activating env ). My requirements.txt as follows:
MySQL-python==1.2.5 argparse==1.2.1 pymongo==2.6.3 wsgiref==0.1.2
When I ran pip install -r requirement.txt . I get some kind of output, the last line of which:
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
As mentioned in the post, I even ran this command to update my distribution:
easy_install distribute==0.6.28
Even that didn’t work. My python version (in env) is 2.7.6 and Machine is Ubuntu 14.04
UPDATE . The stack trace is as follows:
