Hi,

Is anyone here running Ubuntu 9.10? I am having trouble running the
helper on Ubuntu 9.10, while on 9.04 it works fine. I added some more
details here:

http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-python/browse_thread/thread/54e0c2c7b8946115

and

http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django/issues/detail?id=142&sort=-id

The error I am getting with GAE SDK 1.2.7 (also with 1.2.2 and 1.2.5)
and helper r95 on Ubuntu 9.10 with Python2.5 and Django 1.1.1 is:

reallife@hoshi:~/google-app-engine-django$ python2.5 manage.py
runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 18, in <module>
InstallAppengineHelperForDjango()
File "/home/reallife/google-app-engine-django/appengine_django/
__init__.py", line 505, in InstallAppengineHelperForDjango
LoadDjango(version)
File "/home/reallife/google-app-engine-django/appengine_django/
__init__.py", line 142, in LoadDjango
from google.appengine.dist import use_library
ImportError: No module named appengine.dist

Can anyone please confirm they are running into a similar problem, or
not?

Thanks a million

okay, solved thanks to the help from aachurin!

In short: Ubuntu 9.10 tries to import from google, which has its own
namespace within Python2.5 in Ubuntu 9.10 (but not in previous Ubuntu
versions). For more details check out:
