Hi

Hi

I'm new to this list.

Welcome

Doing example1.py in first tutorial of twisted.web2 (documentation/intro.txt) I keep getting: ImportError: cannot import name channel

Anyone know what's wrong here?

You're most likely using web2 0.1 which is unfortunately very very old, and completely out of date and should not be used at all. I'll be doing a web2 release 0.2 before june 9th, and you should use svn trunk[0] until then. If you're already using trunk it's possible that it was improperly installed or you thought you installed it over the 0.1 release but didn't really. Without further information I can't really tell you what exactly is wrong. Good luck, and welcome. - -David [0] svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk - -- "Usually the protocol is this: I appoint someone for a task, which they are not qualified to do.

Thanks David Yes I am using web2 0.1 - I won't any more. I did see references to later versions but I don't know about svn. I do have Smartsvn 1.1 but I hadn't learnt how to use it yet. However I followed my nose and used the address you gave me and it seems to have downloaded the stuff. How do I install it? There is no installer Do I just copy contents into the web2 folder at /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/twisted/web2/ after trashing previous contents? Or maybe something else?

cd Twisted/ && python twisted/web2/topfiles/setup.py install or just copy the twisted directory to /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/twisted or just add the location of your checkout (for example ~/projects/Twisted/) to PYTHONPATH export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/projects/Twisted:$PYTHONPATH All of these things will work. - -David - -- "Usually the protocol is this: I appoint someone for a task, which they are not qualified to do.
