-------------------------------------

             Summary: pypi package dependency on bz2
                 Key: LIBCLOUD-350
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-350
             Project: Libcloud
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 0.12.3
         Environment: python 2.7
            Reporter: Andre Merzky
            Priority: Trivial


It seems you have uploaded the release version to PyPi in BZ2 format, so if you do a 'pip install apache-libcloud', you need a Python version with bz2 support.  There is in itself nothing wrong with that, of course -- but it happens to be the case that for a large portion of (our) machines, bz2 support is not by default available, and is not built as automated dependency -- install thus fails with

```
CompressionError: bz2 module is not available`

```

I am not sure if/how PyPi can handle different package types, but it would be great (for us and our users) if the bz2 dependency could be avoided.
