pytone / _bsddb

Thu Mar 3 05:59:10 EST 2005

Hi all,

I've been using the `pytone' tool for playing my mp3's for a while. Great
tool. However, after upgrading Python to version 2.4 it stopped working. The
traceback that I get is this:

-----<snip>-----
    Traceback (most recent call last):                                          
      File "src/pytone.py", line 104, in ?                                      
        songdbid = songdbmanager.addsongdb(songdbname,                          
+config.database[songdbname])                                                   
      File "/home/basvg/bin/PyTone-2.2.1/src/services/songdb.py", line 147, in

        import songdbs.local                                                    
      File "/home/basvg/bin/PyTone-2.2.1/src/services/songdbs/local.py", line

        import bsddb.dbshelve                                                   
      File "/usr/lib/python2.4/bsddb/__init__.py", line 47, in ?                
        import _bsddb                                                           
    ImportError: No module named _bsddb                                         
-----</snip>-----

The mentioned line in __init__.py is:

-----<snip>-----
    import _bsddb  
-----</snip>-----

I had a look around through /usr/lib/python2.4 but I couldn't find a _bsddb
indeed. Can anyone help me get my favorite py-tool to work again ;-)?

Bas
