CherryPy-2.1.0-rc1 setup problem.

[Steve Robb]

Trying to install CherryPy on an Ubuntu machine.
I get the following message when running setup install.

stever@Compaq:~/Desktop/CherryPy-2.1.0-rc1$ ls
CHANGELOG.txt cherrypy CHERRYPYTEAM.txt PKG-INFO README.txt
setup.py
stever@Compaq:~/Desktop/CherryPy-2.1.0-rc1$ python setup.py install
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to

Try installing the Python Dev packages...

Well, that got me through the install without getting any errors, but

Python 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 21:19:01)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import CherryPy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named CherryPy

How could that be???

Might the module name be case-sensitive? Try "import cherrypy" instead.

In this case CherryPy is actually cherrypy ... 8-)

Also - many examples show 'from cherrypy import cpg' or similar, AFAIK this is deprecated. Instead, try 'import cherrypy as cpg' when trying the examples.

Oh brother,

ImportError: No module named CherryPy

Sorry.

Thanks,

Helloworld runs fine now.

Now I'm going for the bonus-sqlobject.py app.

Here is what I get when I run sudo python setup.py install on the
Cheetah package. This is way after a bunch of it ran without problems.

Ubuntu seems to have installed GCC versions gcc-3.4-base and
gcc-4.0-base.

Does anyone know what package I may need?
Sorry for so many questions,
sr

[Tom Fillmore]

My ubuntu shows only gcc-3.3 (I'm running hoary). I suspect you installed something that absolutely required 4.0. Or, possibly, you installed from the 5.10 preview? The previews were a bit flaky, I've read. You could always try removing 4.0 and see how synaptic complains.

Lastly - have you scoped out the wiki/forums at ubuntu? I've found them to be really quite helpful.

[Steve Robb]

Yes, I am running the new 5.10.
I will try removing 4.0 and take a look at that wiki/forum.
