while creating new product i got error "No egg-info directory found " on plone4.3

oomsys@oomsysmob-7:~/brundel/src$ ../bin/zopeskel plone_basic bdr.theme

plone_basic: A project for Plone products

This creates a package for a basic Plone add-on project, with a 
single namespace (like Products.PloneFormGen).  To create a package 
with a nested namespace use the plone_nested_addon template.  If 
you are trying to create a Plone *site* you want to use one of the 
installers from plone.org or the ploneX_buildout (where x is the 
major version of Plone you wish to use)

To create a Plone project with a name like 'plone.app.myproject' 
(2 dots, a 'nested namespace'), use the 'plone_app' template.

bdr.theme is my new product when i tried to create new product using this command ../bin/zopeskel plone_basic bdr.theme i got IOERROR(no egg info directory).so any one can answer this question

Answer

The error you're encountering, IOError: No egg-info directory found, indicates that the zopeskel tool was unable to find the expected .egg-info directory in the newly created bdr.theme directory.

This error can happen for a couple of reasons, often related to a misconfiguration in the package creation process. Here's how you can address it:

1. Check the Environment and Dependencies

Ensure that your environment is properly set up with all the necessary dependencies for your project. You may be using an old or incompatible version of the tools. It’s also possible that zopeskel and its dependencies (templer.core, PasteScript, etc.) are not compatible with your current environment.

  • Make sure you're using Python 2.7 (as zopeskel might require it).
  • Try updating the relevant dependencies: 
    easy_install -U zopeskel templer.core PasteScript

2. Inspect the Template

The issue might also be related to how the template plone_basic is set up. Specifically, zopeskel is looking for an .egg-info directory, which should be generated by the package during its creation process, but it appears to be missing.

  • Check that the plone_basic template is properly installed. The template may not be properly configured or could be corrupted.
  • Try running the command with a different template (e.g., plone_app or plone_nested_addon) to see if the issue persists.

3. Manual Fix for the .egg-info Directory

If the .egg-info directory is indeed missing (which is typically created during the setup process), you can attempt to manually generate it.

  • Try running the following in the bdr.theme directory after creation: 
    python setup.py egg_info
    This should create the .egg-info directory, which contains metadata about the package. After doing this, try running the zopeskel command again.

4. Check File Permissions

Sometimes, this kind of error can occur if there are file permission issues, preventing zopeskel from creating the required directories or files.

  • Make sure you have the correct file permissions to write in the bdr.theme directory: 
    chmod -R 755 ./bdr.theme

5. Clean Up and Retry

Sometimes, cleaning the workspace and retrying can resolve the issue:

  • Delete the bdr.theme directory and try running the command again: 
    rm -rf ./bdr.theme
../bin/zopeskel plone_basic bdr.theme

6. Check for Python Version Compatibility

It looks like you're using Python 2.7 based on the paths in the error (py2.7). Ensure that the tools you're using are compatible with Python 2.7, as some of the Plone tooling (especially older versions) might not work with Python 3.x.

7. Consult the Documentation and Logs

Finally, if the issue persists, check the documentation for zopeskel and related tools to verify if there are any version-specific changes or issues. You can also enable debugging or verbosity when running the command to get more detailed logs.

Summary

The error you're seeing is due to a missing .egg-info directory. Try updating your dependencies, running python setup.py egg_info, and verifying that your environment is correctly set up. If that doesn’t solve the problem, consider cleaning up the workspace and retrying the setup process.
