Distribute too old

[Bushstar]

The version of distribute that comes with this repo is out of date and causes problems on Ubuntu 17.04.

Installed /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/distribute-0.6.28-py2.7.egg

Installing the latest distribute and hacking the one included helps get past the error when installing.

pip install --upgrade distribute
Successfully uninstalled distribute-0.6.28
Successfully installed distribute-0.7.3

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. I'm not getting past it, though.

Can you provide more details on what you meant by "hacking the one included"?

Remove the distribute_setup.py and edit setup.py to remove these lines.

From
-from distribute_setup import use_setuptools
-use_setuptools()
-py_modules=['distribute_setup',],

Then run this to make sure that distribute is up-to-date.
pip install --upgrade distribute

Then try installing again with.
sudo python setup.py install

The process is full of errors and a lot of them are not very obvious. Top tip, enable the stratum.log while setting up stratum-mining, it will help.

I know that almost 1 year has passed but I am here to feedback the solution! IT WORKS!

Thank you
