How do you correct Module already loaded UserWarnings in Python?

问题

Getting the following kinds of warnings when running most python scripts in the command line:

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/virtualenvwrapper/hook_loader.py:16: UserWarning: Module 

pkg_resources was already imported from /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.pyc, but /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages is being added to sys.path
  import pkg_resources

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/virtualenvwrapper/hook_loader.py:16: UserWarning: Module site was already imported from /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site.pyc, but /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages is being added to sys.path
  import pkg_resources

I think it has to do with a combination of using distribute and virtualenv, but wanted to check if anyone else has run in to this or would know how to go about fixing it.

回答1:

Perhaps use the virtualenv option --no-site-packages so you won't see any system site-packages within your virtual environment. Having items installed both in your virtualenv and on the system root may be the cause of this issue.

Using --no-site-packages when creating your virtualenv prevents any conflict between system packages. I almost always use that option when creating a new virtualenv to prevent any conflicts. Though I may have several copies of libraries, at least they don't mess with each other.

The python equivalent of putting a bit of electrical tape over the check engine light would be to use the -W command line flag or by adding a warning filter.

回答3:

In my case reinstalling of anything did not help. There were some orphaned .pyc files (specifically pkg_resources.pyc) left in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python

sudo find . -type f -name "*.pyc" -delete

made it work. This link helped me to track down the problem.

I had this sort of Python packaging hell visit today too.

Running Python 2.7.3 on Ubuntu, using namespace packages and using zc.buildout.

Finally, updating system wide Distribute from older version 0.6.30 to latest version 0.6.35 resolved the problem.

If the warning shows in a program you are modifying, try it this way (examply with pytz):

try:  
    import pytz  
except ImportError:  
    from pkg_resources import require  
    require('pytz')
