Charmcrypto Installation: ImportError during make

[Vishnu Venukumar]

Hi,

I was trying to install Char-crypto python 3 version on Ubuntu 16.04 VM. 

I have installed all specified dependencies, however, the process fails with the following error during make.

Setup build/staging directories

set -x

set +x

Building the Charm Framework

/usr/bin/python3.5 setup.py build  

Extracting in /tmp/tmpe5mss03y

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/vishnu/Downloads/Charm-Crypto-0.43/distribute_setup.py", line 143, in use_setuptools

    raise ImportError

ImportError

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>

    use_setuptools() #bootstrap installs Distribute if not installed

    self.chown(tarinfo, dirpath)

TypeError: chown() missing 1 required positional argument: 'numeric_owner'

Makefile:27: recipe for target 'all' failed

make: *** [all] Error 1

Can someone help me solve this?

I suggest using Python 3.4. I could not make the installation work in Python 3.5.

Hi,

Did you manage to make it work with python3.5?

Not up to June 2017 (have not touched it since then). I was at the end of
the project for my dissertation and did not have time to experiment with
python 3.5 anymore, but it is feasible that it might work fine now with
updated installers and etc.
