I think I'm having a problem with the installation of the twisted Sumo package (TwistedSumo-2006-02-12, but Twisted-2.4.0 doesn't seem to work either). Basically, I'm trying to get PyAIM-t working, under Linux (on a machine with a very stripped down configuration, and on which I don't have root access). PyAIM-t requires Twisted (core, web and words, at least), and recommends the 2.2.0 version, which is in the TwistedSumo package above. So I installed and built the package, to the best of my ability (this is my first time dealing with Python). But PyAIM-t still doesn't seem to find what it is looking for. I added a few print statements where the problem was occuring, so the code looks something like this: try: print sys.path print "trying domish" from twisted.words.xish.domish import SuxElementStream, \ Element, unescapedFromXml print "got domish" # ... except ImportError: print sys.exc_info()[1] # ... The output here is: [... , '/home/team02/jakan/gnu/lib/python2.4/site-packages', ...] trying domish No module named words.xish.domish What makes me thing that the problem is in my installation of twisted: when I invoke "python setup.py" from the root, I get a lot of messages along the lines of: package init filie 'twisted/plugins/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file) In addition, to get anything in the library directory from the path above, I have to add the --force flag, so that my install command looks like: python setup.py --prefix=/home/team02/jakan/gnu \ --exec-prefix=/home/team02/jakan/gnu/i686 --force I'm sure that I'm doing something stupid and obvious that I'm missing, but I don't quite no where to turn. (This is really my first contact with Python, starting yesterday. I want to learn it, but management wants a proof of concept that what we want to do will work before approving the project.) -- James Kanze (GABI Software) mailto:james.kanze@gmail.com Conseils en informatique orientée objet/ Beratung in objektorientierter Datenverarbeitung 9 place Sémard, 78210 St.-Cyr-l'École, France, +33 (0)1 30 23 00 34
