Adding snapshot versions to your setuptools packages from SVN is easy, using the tag_svn_revision = true options in setup.cfg. However, getting this working for GIT proved to be more difficult, as there’s no built in support. However, I finally settled on a bash script that does the job quite nicely.

I started using Eclim a couple days ago, and kept running into Error running command: pyflakes <path to my code>, when my files contained more than one syntax error/warning. After a bit of googling I discovered this bug, which suggests that the version of pyflakes in Debian isn’t compatible with Eclim. Sure enough, removing the the .deb package (apt-get remove pyflakes) and installing it from pip (pip install pyflakes), fixed it.
