[Twisted-Python] Twisted and Centos5 install problems
Hello everyone, I'm trying to install Twisted 2.5 on a Centos 5 intel based server that has Python 2.4 on it, and am having problems. I download the Twisted 2.5 tar file, unpack it, go to the zope.interface directory and perform a "sudo python setup.py install" command, which succeeds. I then go to the root directory and do the same thing for Twisted "sudo python setup.py install" and it looks like it completes successfully. When I go into the Python interpreter and enter an "import twisted" line, that works fine. However, if I do this, "from twisted import web" I get an error: Python 2.4.3 (#1, Mar 14 2007, 19:01:42) [GCC 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from twisted import web
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: cannot import name web When I look in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted I see that it has a web directory, so I'm not sure what's going on or what the problem is. Any insights would be most welcome! Thanks, Doug Farrell

If so, it may be that Python is picking that up, causing it to ignore anything in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted. If so, the solution is to tell distutils to install all of Twisted in the same place. I forget the exact options to do this, you can probably find them in the output of "python setup.py install --help". Jean-Paul

Jean-Paul Thanks for the hint, when I looked at the output of uname -a on the target machine it reported this: Linux dev03.com 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 17:29:04 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Which looks like it's running in Intel 64 bit mode to me. So I'll have to look around to see how to install Twisted in a 64 environment. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks again! Doug
