Debian Jessie: ImportError: No module named babel.messages.frontend

[Jim Campbell]

Encountered an issue with pybabel when trying to do the ./bootstrap.sh step. python-babel is installed in the proper directory (not necessarily as
part of the site packages

mediagoblin@jessie:/srv/mediagoblin.chicagolug.org/mediagoblin$ ./bin/pip install Babel
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): Babel in ./lib/python2.7/site-packages/Babel-1.3-py2.7.egg

Here's the error output

I see... there was a very, very strange line in setup.py where "pybabel" was one of the console scripts entry points. I've removed this in c704d18.

Jim, I think this fixes it; could you do a git pull then try "make distclean && ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make" again? Reopen this bug if still broken.
