Error when /etc is not readable
See original GitHub issueOriginally reported in https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4320.
Hi, I’m doing scientific computations on a Computer cluster. When the sysadmin decided to remove read permissions from /etc pip stopped working, because
os.listdir(_UNIXCONFDIR)in distro.py fails.As a quick fix I changed the following in my local pip installation:
try: basenames = os.listdir(_UNIXCONFDIR) # We sort for repeatability in cases where there are multiple # distro specific files; e.g. CentOS, Oracle, Enterprise all # containing `redhat-release` on top of their own. basenames.sort() except OSError: basenames = ["os-release"]This of course requires
/etc/os-releaseto be readable. I just wanted to share this in case someone runs into the same problem!
