Seems that this file has wrong ACL in pypi.

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 1572, in _get
with open(path, 'rb') as stream:

Hi, On our side, the user is free to install the tool in a venv or not. But I agree with you that it’s always better to use a venv when you can.

I never had the issue for other python lib so far.The lib is installed via the setup here

The full concerned path is dist-packages/httpretty-0.9.4-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/requires.txt. Is the requires.txt a file from your repo or something generated by the installer?
