Common Messups

### MacOSX Postgres won't start
rm /usr/local/var/postgres/postmaster.pid


Users are getting "ImportError: No module named setuptools" when using pip to upgrade a package since distribute-0.7.3 was released.

e.g. when running a command like this: pip install --upgrade pyramid

Solution

To prevent the problem in new environments (that aren't broken yet),

First run pip install -U setuptools,
Then run the command to upgrade your package (e.g. pip install --upgrade pyramid)
To fix the problem once it's occurred, you'll need to manually install the new setuptools, then rerun the upgrade that failed.

Download ez_setup.py (https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/ez_setup.py)
Run python ez_setup.py


No module named setuptools.command

pip install distribute --upgrade
