I'm trying to make a wordpress interface for my ckan instance and I found the following plugin:
ckanext-wordpresser

But when I execute the following command:

$ pip install -e  git+https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-wordpresser#egg=ckanext-wordpresser

I get this error:

The problem is this line in setup.py:

namespace_packages=['ckanext', 'ckanext.wordpresser'],

it will work if it is changed to:

namespace_packages=['ckanext'],

but I wouldn't do a PR myself since I'm not willing to test it still works (although I think it would). So I suggest you could git clone the repo, make that change and then:

pip install -e ../ckanext-wordpresser

and it will install ready to try. If it works (and the extension is v. old, so I think a bit of a long-shot) then do create a PR.
