Cannot import tmpl_context
apocalypznow
the package manager to download pylons 0.9.6.1-1.
In python shell, when I type:
from pylons import tmpl_context
I get:
ImportError: cannot import name tmpl_context
How can I get this to work?
Also, what is wrong with python 2.6 and pylons? Deprecation warnings
and errors occur on the same import. I hesitate to show all the
errors here as I read somewhere that 2.6 is not supported in linux.
Is this true?

OT: please upgrade to 0.9.6.2-2 (from Debian stable) - serious bug was
fixed in 0.9.6.2

When I installed 9.6.2, it still results in the same problem.
The install procedure as documented on pylonshq.com gives 2
alternates:
a) using go-pylons.py with a virtual environment
b) using latest source of pylons
I don't want to use latest source, so option b) is out of the
question. However, I also don't want to use option a) because of the
virtual environment and the unneeded complexity of getting that to
work under a mod_wsgi setting with apache. I want to run pylons in
the default environment, as the installation will be a dedicated
server to the web applications. Can't we just have a normal download
and python installation, like just about every other python package
out there???
How do I go about getting version 9.7 and installing normally as in
any other python package?

Sure wish they would have just said that on the install page of the
website.

'tmpl_context' is new in Pylons 0.9.7. It was called 'c' in earlier
versions (and still is).

The Pylons package in Ubuntu 9.04 (and I guess the Debian equivalent)
is useless. The distros upgraded the default Python version but
forgot to check Pylons' compatibility with it. Pylons 0.9.7 is
compatible with Python 2.6, but it it was released too late to get
into the distros. This will be rectified in the next distro releases.
All virtualenvs have an 'activate_this.py' script, which I believe is
for cases like mod_wsgi that have problems with regular virtualenvs.

python-pylons is not in Ubuntu's main, so nobody cares about this
package there, they blindly merge various versions from Debian unstable
(while Debian can be in the middle of many transitions).
If Debian package is broken (or dependencies are outdated in unstable),
please send f*cks to piotr@d.o, though.
PS I'm working on backports of python-pylons 0.9.7 (and its dependencies,
including mod-wsgi) to Lenny - links will be available on pylons.debian.net

Actually, it is recommended that you don't use activate_this.py in
mod_wsgi and not necessarily a good idea in mod_python either.
This is documented in:
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnvironments
Using virtual environments with Apache/mod_wsgi isn't that hard and is
also explained in that document, so not sure what the issue was.
