Howdy all! I am using twisted as part of BuildBot, to automatically test my software on various platforms. One problem I am having on a couple of Suns is that twisted won't install. I have python 2.2.3 installed as you can see from the printout: gilda.unidata.ucar.edu% python Python 2.2.3 (#1, Jan 13 2004, 13:54:46) [C] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
bash-2.03# pwd /home/ed/downloads/Twisted-1.1.1 bash-2.03# python setup.py install Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 43, in ? from twisted import copyright File "twisted/__init__.py", line 23, in ? from python import compat File "twisted/python/compat.py", line 27, in ? import sys, types, socket, struct, __builtin__, exceptions File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ? from _socket import * ImportError: No module named _socket What's the deal here? Any suggestions for getting Twisted working on these suns? I've had trouble before because of the weird directories that sun uses, but this seems to be a problem within python. Thanks for any suggestions, Ed Hartnett Unidata
