Re: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs ** SOLVED **

The METADATA file was the culprit. The conditional requirement was not conditioned, and so it was always trying to look for an old version of tornado.  This is top of the METADATA from livereload:

Requires-Dist: six

Requires-Dist: tornado (<6)

Note the second Requies-Dist for tornado? That's the one that John pointed out was supposed to be for Python 2.7.  Well, there's nothing in the METADATA that says that, and I don't know if there even is a syntax, because I can't find anything on METADATA in Google-foo.  So I said the heck with it, and I just delete that second tornado line, and magically everything worked.

I am still not thrilled that I did something which for all intents and purposes is undocumented, but I am happy that it works.

David, you're absolutely correct now that I look at it.  I somehow deleted a couuple of characters.  It should be --dev-addr=0.0.0.0:8555!

I've never used MkDocs and I've only been half reading all the messages,
so this may not be an issue but the IP you have here: "serve
--dev-addr=0.0.0.8555" is not valid.
