Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I was quite busy on that day and then forgot it.

So the files are not world-readable? Set the files to be world-readable
using chmod -R a+r [directory]

In that case you'd need to add the files for the bit to the sitelib and
binary directories manually. When using the manager, overwrite the BOTS
file too.
Actually I'd like to have a a possibility to create python packages that
only contain single bots. That needs some small adapations and then
intelmq would be more modular. See e.g.

When using virtualenvs you'd need to at least adapt PATH to include the
bin directory of your virtualenv. Otherwise the executable can't be
found. But I never tried this method actually.

Use git install [-e] .
When using -e, make sure the files can be read.
