Question

If I install the latest stable 1.2.7 django-haystack with sudo pip install django-haystack, it works fine. But after uninstalling it and installing the very latest dev version 2.0.0 BETA instead as suggested on the main page:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack.git@master#egg=django-haystack

Despite the success messages below, it seems like it is not properly installed:

Obtaining django-haystack from git+https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack.git@master#egg=django-haystack
  Cloning https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack.git (to master) to ./src/django-haystack
  Running setup.py egg_info for package django-haystack

Cleaning up...

because when I go into the django shell environment and do a

>>> from haystack import indexes

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named haystack

I have followed the instructions and have
INSTALLED_APPS = (... 'haystack',) in there

I had this problem before, but could never solve it. sudo pip install default works fine, but as long as I get the latest Git version, my django doesn’t seem to see it.

What could I be missing?

Many Thanks for your advice,

UPDATE

Apologies, but it seems the error is happening only within Aptana Studio 3.0. In Django Shell I can do the import after all. I am still dazzled, as this should be the same. Why can Aptana see the libraries when installing with sudo pip install django-haystack but not if using latest Git version? What could go wrong there please?

UPDATE 2

Answer 1

I finally got it working.

As I said the problem is pip install -e git+https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack.git@master#egg=django-haystack is apparently not working.

I simply uninstalled it and made sure its deleted.

Then I simply downloaded the source as zip file, extracted it and

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

This way it will guaranteed be working. Hope this helps someone.
