Installation on machine without internet produces error

[kitgerrits@…]

I am setting up Trac on a machine without Internet and the Genshi installer tries to parse information from the Internet. I would assume the package to contain a list of its own dependencies.

sudo easy_install Genshi-0.5.1-py2.4-linux-i686.egg

Something tells me this is more related to easy_install than to Genshi itself. Apparently, this also happens with Trac:

This is the normal easy install behavior. I think there are some switches for easy install but nothing Genshi can do about this. So probably this ticket should be closed as invalid...

I think you need the --no-deps option for easy_install. And yeah, this is not an issue with Genshi itself, in my opinion.
