Similar to this question but i got a different error.
I'm try to installing via pip with:
pip install django-chronograph
I'm using python 2.7 and a virtualenv
pip freeze
Django==1.10
django-backbone==0.2.3
django-jstemplate==1.1.1
gunicorn==18.0
MySQL-python==1.2.5
six==1.10.0
South==0.7.6
unicodecsv==0.9.4
Error:
pip install django-chronograph
Collecting django-chronograph
Using cached django-chronograph-0.3.1.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/87/h3ltndc5279cknk_vn9nzjjc0000gn/T/pip-build-_JDRxl/django-chronograph/
The problem is with the installation script provided by django-chronograph.
In line 16 of setup.py, it tries to download a script:
https://bitbucket.org/wnielson/django-chronograph/src/f561106f6aaab62f2817e08e51c799320fd916d9/setup.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#setup.py-16
in this code block:
try:
import distribute_setup
except:
# Make sure we have Distribute
if not os.path.exists('distribute_setup'):
urllib.urlretrieve('http://nightly.ziade.org/distribute_setup.py',
'./distribute_setup.py')
However, when you visit the URL at http://nightly.ziade.org/distribute_setup.py, it gives a 404 error, thus the returned html in the error.
It looks like you might be able to get distribute here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/0.7.3
Or try doing this before you install django-chronograph:
pip install distribute
Good luck!
django-chronograph is unmaintained. Its fork is doing much better and has support for Django 2.0 and Django 2.1: https://github.com/chrisspen/django-chroniker
