Bug Description

zope.testrunner, when used with Python 2.6, depends on unittest2, which setup_requires traceback2, which setup_requires pbr, which fails to install on our Windows buildbot: https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.testrunner/issues/22

You can find the full output of bin/buildout -vvv at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/98a73f4636ebb0cc5ef4. I'll repeat the most interesting bits here:

In case you're not familiar with zc.buildout: the important thing is that it wraps easy_install from setuptools to do the installation. Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this failure using a virtualenv's scripts/easy_install directly.

Curiously, this is not the first invocation of pbr's setup.py in the build log, but the previous ones succeed.

I have a theory that this failure may be caused by the deep nesting of the directory trees, caused by the chain of nested setup_requires. Perhaps a filename gets too long for Windows and setuptools has a try/except that mistakenly converts that into a SandboxViolation exception? I've a log of a different buildout run, with a longer %TEMP% directory name, which fails due to filename length problems -- https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4f3631e0ed119a0876d9. Still, the evidence is inconclusive.

Ugg, bdist_egg. I don't think we've considered supporting that to date.

No particular objection, but also not much interest :(.

FWIW we should be publishing wheels in the next release which would mean you don't need to run bdist_egg.

Um. This is, apparently, what setuptools does when you have a package with a setup.py like this:

    setup(
        ...
        setup_requires=['pbr'],
        ...)

Are you saying that you don't support setup_requires=['pbr']?
