Install Error: about twisted

[Prim]

Hi everyone, I am trying to install Evennia on my Ubuntu, but met some
error.

1. Get the pre-requisites (mainly Python, Django, Twisted and
Mercurial).
> apt-get install python python-django python-twisted mercurial
Now under Ubuntu 11.04, Python 2.7.1, Django 1.2.5, Twisted
10.2.0.
2. > hg clone https://code.google.com/p/evennia/ evennia
> cd evennia
3. > python manage.py
get this: ImportError: Could not import settings 'settings.py' (Is
it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named py
but already get 'settings.py' under /game, so i abort it.
4. > python manage.py syncdb
get these, seems normal:
- Creating table xxx
- then create a super user
- Install index for xxx
5. > python evennia.py -i start
get these:

I didnt see any listen on port 4000/8000 except 5000.

Is this error happen because twisted's version not right?

Hi and welcome to Evennia!

Nope, this is not the fault of Twisted, it's all my fault. :) The recent switch to Mercurial as well as additions of internationalization left some artifacts. Basically, internationalization tried to start up also before a settings file was available, giving the error - and leading to your database not getting set up correctly.

A silly bug that is fixed in latest repo. Pull the latest, remove game/evennia.db3 (if you have it) and your game/settings.py and try again. Should work better now.

- rm settrings.* evennia.db3
- hg pull
I got the same error. Maybe I messed something, then I cloned the
latest version in another place. Now evennia run well. Have to say
evennia is a wonderful work, thanks ur help. :)
