Waiting for any reply.

That's weird. Can you try a different application name and see if
that works? Paster sometimes has trouble with certain names, although
the only name I've had problems with is "test".

Oh, it's asking the App Engine question. This is another indication
that your Pylons is slightly old.

I have no idea how a tuple got substituted for a path string, but it
suggests your copy of Pylons or Paste might be corrupted. If you're
comfortable with the Python debugger you can run "python -m pdb `which
paster` create --template=pylons nav" and see what the value of 'b'
is. That might give us a clue what's wrong.

But it's probably easier to install a fresh copy of Pylons 0.9.7 in
another virtualenv and see if the problem goes away.

hi!

well i don't know what's exactly wrong, but i've another suggestion.
create a virtualenv and install pylons and sqlalchemy in that. then try
to create pylons app and check if you get the same error.

also it would be helpful if you could let ppl know which OS you are
using and version etc. in order to replicate or reproduce the bug.

regds,
arun.

[kumar]

Thank you very much for your reply. This is the os below. Pylons
version is 0.9.7.

I also got the same error. The output of Pdb is

b is a tuple ('pylons', 'templates/default_project')
Any idea ??

Is there any solution for this issue ?

[Doug Latornell]

I just ran into this issue while trying to create a new Pylons project
to work through the SimpleSite tutorial from the Pylons book. The
traceback showed that the error was coming from a version of paste in /
usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/paste/script/templates.py event
though I had just done a fresh install of Pylons in a virtualenv.

Starting over again with a virtualenv --no-site-packages solved the
problem for me. Obviously I was picking up an older version of paste
that is installed in the system-wide site packages.

This was on OpenBSD 4.4 with Python 2.5.2.
