Install problems with pytz versions

[rkmaddox]

Hi. Very new to python, so this could be an obvious fix (apologies if so). I get an install error (using command "pip install --user nfldb") that appears to be an issue with nfldb not using the most current version of pytz. Here is the pip output:

Downloading/unpacking nfldb
Running setup.py egg_info for package nfldb

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): nflgame in ./.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from nfldb)

Source in ./build/pytz has the version 2013.8, which does not match the requirement pytz==2013b (from nfldb)
Source in ./build/pytz has version 2013.8 that conflicts with pytz==2013b (from nfldb)

pytz's versioning scheme is really weird, and I had fixed it to a particular version because it didn't work without. (Read: It was a hack.) So I'd be surprised if the problem was because you were doing something wrong.

In any case, I removed the version restriction and things still seem to work. (Although, I could not reproduce your problem.)

Please try pip install --user nfldb again. Make sure it's trying to install 0.0.13 though. (If not, you may need to find pip's directory in /tmp and wipe it to start fresh. There may also be a --force-download option or some such.)

Please re-open this issue if you're still getting the same problem. Please also include the output of pip freeze on your system.

Install worked. Thanks!

>>> import nfldb
>>> nfldb.__version__
'0.0.13'

This is causing a bit of an upgrade loop with nflvid. Not a big deal, but just a reminder that package has the same 2013b requirement.

@ochawkeye I forgot to comment and say that I fixed that (hopefully).
