Downloaded Date error on Mac 10.6.8

Macbook Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.6.8

I built Mnemosyne per the Unix instructions.  Immediately upon double-clicking on the mnemosyne script to run it, I get:

Uncaught exception!

Traceback (innermost last):

from cherrypy import wsgiserver

ImportError: No module named cherrypy

I also downloaded and tried the installer from http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/download-mnemosyne.php

(on that page it says it's just for 10.7, but Patrick Kenny's post says its for 10.6 and 10.7)

This is much easier than building from scratch, but I get a different error immediately on double-clicking the icon:

Uncaught exception!

I then get a "Mnemosyne error" window with "Open Console" or "Terminate". It's unresponsive to either choice, but Force Quit terminates the process.

A fix to the error that occurs with the installer version would be more helpful, as that route is MUCH easier than the unix build.

I'd appreciate any ideas....thanks, Rick

Greetings,

The Mac installer is currently incompatible with 10.6.  I built the installer on 10.7 and, although I thought it would be compatibile with 10.6 out of the box, it was not.  Eventually I will try to make a Snow Leopard installer but since I will have to install Snow Leopard to do so that is going to take some time.

In the meantime, you may be able to fix the cherrypy error by using make install system as described here:

I just confirmed that the cherrypy in Macports is still bugged.  You can also install it like this:

sudo /opt/local/bin/easy_install-2.7 cherrypy

Cheers,

Patrick

Patrick,

Thanks!

The cherrypy fix you suggested did the trick!
