installing couchapp python

[Andy Wenk]

Hi everybody,

first it's amazing how fast this is growing here. Super cool ;-)

Actually I am really interested to install the couchapp python version
and read the post 'update of couchapp python'. I had a look to the
experiences Chris had and tried to follow.

$ git clone git://github.com/benoitc/couchapp.git

No problem with that. But then I had no luck:

$ cd couchapp
$ sudo python setup.py install
[sudo] password for duke:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 12, in <module>
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

$ python --version
Python 2.5.2

Ubuntu 8.04

Any idea what went wrong? This is not the same error Chris had. The
python part in INSTALLING.md is (surely) under construction so maybe I
can contribute to the doc when I successfully installed it.

Cheers

Andy

$ sudo easy_install setuptools

I think you mean python-setuptools:

$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

Then:

$ cd couchapp
couchapp$ python setup.py install

Did not work because I had to update setuptools as mentioned by Chris
before.

Ok - I downloaded [1] and yeah it works ;-)

Now couchapp push:

couchapp$ sudo couchapp push . http://andy:password@localhost:5984/py

Traceback (most recent call last):

easy_install simplejson or if you use debian apt-get install python-simplejson.

It looks like we have enough material in this thread to put together a
full python section in INSTALLING.md

Andy, if you even put together an unformatted sequential list of the
steps you took, I'd go through an verify them on a fresh machine, and
then drop them in the repository.

Or I can do it, but for now I'll concentrate on normalizing the
python/ruby behavior.

That was my intention with starting this post. So I will test the
whole installing process and will write it down wellformed. I think I
have done that till tonight and will inform you by putting a post
here ...
Or ask more "hard questions" ;-)

ok - here's another one:

ImportError: No module named couchdb

Got an idea? (benoît)

Thanks

maybe not that important but shall I write the installation with
easy_install or apt-get ... or both (what is obviously the best way).
Then I would also explain how to get easy_install and so on ... I
don't know how much knowledge a user should have.Having not all python
tools was a pitfall for me. I think for many users would that probably
be the same ...

You need couchdb-python installed. Should have been detected when installing ?

[Benoit Chesneau]

easy_install is platform independant, I think it should be the
preferred way to install couchapp (when it will be on pipy that's it).
Apt* way could be described as another way when you use a debian based
system imo.

[Jan Lehnardt]

Agreed, I'd not worry about distro-specific packaging.

hm - got still problems ...

I installed couchdb-python from here:

http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/C/CouchDB/CouchDB-0.5-py2.6.egg#md5=207349771ac7f7f0aad38298c6beff2c

Installed /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/httplib2-0.4.0-py2.5.egg

Is that the correct way to install couchdb-python?

I saw that Dean had a similar problem with this "ServerNotFound" error
in the last line. But benoît fixed it ... I think. I have the actual
git installed
git clone git://github.com/benoitc/couchapp.git

Further ideas whats going wrong?

Are you using latest git (#7b5d9cdc849a8bfb28366f135a69efd0b47daf80)?

When I test :

pollen% couchapp push test http://benoitc:test@localhost:5984/test
Pushing CouchApp in /tmp/test to http://localhost:5984/test/_design/test

or
pollen% couchapp push . http://benoitc:test@localhost:5984/test
Pushing CouchApp in /tmp/test to http://localhost:5984/test/_design/test

it works here. Anyone could confirm ?

I I isntalled it again: git://github.com/benoitc/couchapp.git . So I
think this is the last version.

Could you try to install python-couchdb from svn and tell me if it works ?:

svn checkout http://couchdb-python.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ couchdb-python
cd couchdb-python && sudo python setup.py install

thanks for your feedback anyway :)

thats my job here ;-)

I am not really sure if couchdb-python is running. I stopped / started
couchdb (/usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb) after installing couchdb-
python from svn and had still the same error from above. Do I have to
start couchdb in a different way to get chochdb-python working? Sorry
- I did not engage myself with couchdb-python ...

Just start couchdb as usual and make sure urls you give to couchapp work.

yes I am pretty sure - because otherwise I would not be able to call
http://localhost:5984/_utils/ -> Futon. Authentication is made vi
local.ini (/usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini)

> Just start couchdb as usual and make sure urls you give to couchapp work.

ok - I think then we (or I in special ;-) ) have another problem. I
will install everything also on another machine where actually nothing
concerning CouchDB is installed. I will give you my report asap.

I just tested from a clean install (ie removed couchdb-python and
couchapp) then reinstalled. and everything worked using latest git and
latest couchapp.

pollen% sudo easy-install couchdb
pollen% sudo python setup.py install
pollen% cd /tmp
pollen% couchapp generate test
Generating a new CouchApp in /tmp/test
pollen% couchapp push test http://benoitc:te...@127.0.0.1:5984/okok
Pushing CouchApp in /tmp/test to http://127.0.0.1:5984/okok/_design/test
pollen% couchapp clone
http://benoitc:te...@127.0.0.1:5984/okok/_design/test coolest
pollen% ls coolest
_attachments foo lib show views

I would be curious what is wrong in your installation. Please tell me
if you reproduce the error.

ok - I was testing on a new machine. Everything is working! I could
not reproduce the error. I will open a new post now with the manual I
wrote. There is a problem with installing sofa from jchris. I asked
him allready about that so let's see ...

Thanks for going trough this with me ;-)

Ouf :) thanks for the feedback. I just tried sofa tonight and it works
here. What you have to do is :

cd sofa
couch init
couch push blogdb

and that's it :)
