Hi Lukas,
Here is some update:
I replace the setuptools with a new one and reran "python setup.py
install". I have attached the output below. Everything looks great. But
after the installation, when I execute /mnt/us/avocado/scripts/avocado,
there is still not options for valid subcommands:
[root at kindle scripts]# python avocado run
***
subcommands:
valid subcommands
{} subcommand help
avocado: error: argument subcommand: invalid choice: 'run' (choose from )
Thanks,
Junchao
