Re: [flask] Issues when trying to install & use (Flask-)Babel

I've always just used Flask-Babel edge along with Babel edge and I haven't
had problems. Did you try the suggestion in StackOverflow to upgrade to
Babel edge?

pip install --upgrade http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/babel/trunk

(I actually prefer cloning repos into a "src" directory of a virtualenv and
using "python setup.py develop" to generate an egg-link, so I can "git
pull" or "svn update" to get the latest without having to rerun pip or
easy_install, but that works too.)

Flask-Babel's latest release (0.8) should be stable but you could also run
off edge if you like, I've found it to always be stable:
http://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-babel/zipball/master#egg=Flask-Babel-dev

If as you say Flask-Babel isn't compatible with the latest Babel released
to PyPI, its setup.py needs to be changed to account for this, as currently
it just lists "Babel" in its setup.py's install_requires, which will grab
this incompatible version. Was just going to point you at the tracker so
you can open a ticket, but looks like there's a relevant one open already:

https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-babel/issues/9

Looks like it's stalled though.

By the way, if anyone knows of a maintained GitHub mirror of
http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/babel/trunk, or could create one if none
exists, that could be useful to the Flask (and broader) community.

I turned up https://github.com/miracle2k/babel but it's not maintained,
unfortunately.

Here you go. I like git much more than svn... I will write something
tonight to make sure this stays up to date with the trunk.

Thanks so much for volunteering to maintain this. Did you have any luck
getting automatic syncing set up?

I made a pull request (https://github.com/joshfinnie/Babel/pull/1) to add a
.gitignore, and then it occurred to me to ask about merging in the CLDR so
users don't have to do it by hand (always seemed like an unnecessary pain
to me). Would that be of help to anyone else?

Hopefully if this happens it won't be much of a pain to switch to mirroring
the hg repo instead.

Hi,

thank you very much for the suggestions. Nevertheless, I haven't found
a satisfying solution. Here
http://babel.edgewall.org/wiki/Download#LatestDevelopmentSourceCode
they say it's not possible just to checkout their repository, there is
some more stuff necessary to install the library. I tried to find the
latest trunk package here http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/babel/, but
there is no version 1.0dev pre-built. So I can't do this in my
setup.py:

dependency_links = [
        
'http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/babel/Babel-latest-py2.6.egg#egg=Babel-1.0dev',
    ],

...the latest egg is just 0.9.6 version. I don't get it. How can
Flask-Babel offer Babel functions which are not available in any
normally retrievable version of Babel?

Thank you anyway, have a nice day :) I'll probably use it as it is and
write the functions by myself.
Honza

There was some discussion on #pocoo today about migrating the official
repo from svn to hg.  That's all I know on the matter.
