Running on Windows

[Edward Goslin]

Hi,

Has anyone attempted to run dumbo on windows? I was trying it out and getting the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Scripts\dumbo-script.py", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('dumbo==0.21.35', 'console_scripts', 'dumbo')()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pkg_resources.py", line 318, in load_entry_point
    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pkg_resources.py", line 2221, in load_entry_point
    return ep.load()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pkg_resources.py", line 1954, in load
    entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__'])
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\dumbo\__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\dumbo\core.py", line 20, in <module>
ImportError: No module named resource



I am running Python 2.7 in cygwin.

Thanks,
Ed

Same problem here, but through IPython. How did you install dumbo?

How you install Dumbo is indeed important, but I'm afraid it's not very likely to run on Windows at all. It shouldn't be impossible to make it work, but it'd probably take a fair bit of work...

Using easy-install. I admit it was a work-around to get it on Windows. I don't think it will work as it takes advantage of unix daemons.
