pycrypto oddness on fedora 16

I don't think this is a bug in Glance, it seems like an issue with your local environment...

Could be, or it could be a case that is only being produced in fedora 16, and or pip. I will try it again later to see what happens. Either way, if pycrypto is installed via yum, it doesn't seem like glance should be trying to install the pip version?

If you run setup.py install/develop, setuptools/distribute will try to install all indicated dependencies regardless of which system-level python packages you already have.

Is that really true?

I just made the following:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os
import sys

try:
    from setuptools import setup
except ImportError:
    from distutils.core import setup

required = ['httplib2>=0.4']
packages = [
]

setup(
    name='test',
    version='0.1',
    description='',
    long_description='',
    packages=packages,
    install_requires=required,
    license='',
    classifiers=(
        'Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable',
        'Intended Audience :: Developers',
        'Natural Language :: English',
        'License :: OSI Approved :: ISC License (ISCL)',
        'Programming Language :: Python',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.0',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.1',
    ),
)

Then I ran the following:

$ sudo yum install python-httplib2

Tested as follows on Fedora 15 and Fedora 16 and python-crypto was _not_ downloaded.

cd ~/git/glance
$ rpm -q python-crypto

mkdir tsetup

I'm having a bit of an issue coming up with a path forward here. I'm still rather confident this isn't a bug in Glance. It screams environment issue to me.
