AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_suffixes'

[CoderVic]

I am getting this error consistently when I run my module on GAE. The
error is thrown by a core python module (imp). Has GAE disabled
certain functions from the imp module? It's already caused me a lot of
grief. :-(

Has anyone else encountered this error while running pyparsing? Any
workarounds? Is there a list of altered modules published somewhere?


pyparsing.py", line 3284, in getTokensEndLoc
fstack = inspect.stack()
File "/base/python_dist/lib/python2.5/inspect.py", line 884, in
stack
return getouterframes(sys._getframe(1), context)
File "/base/python_dist/lib/python2.5/inspect.py", line 865, in
getouterframes
framelist.append((frame,) + getframeinfo(frame, context))
File "/base/python_dist/lib/python2.5/inspect.py", line 836, in
getframeinfo
filename = getsourcefile(frame) or getfile(frame)
File "/base/python_dist/lib/python2.5/inspect.py", line 386, in
getsourcefile
for suffix, mode, kind in imp.get_suffixes():
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_suffixes'


Appreciate any help.

The problem is that the inspect module uses a part of the imp module
which has been removed in the GAE. The simplest thing is just to dummy
out imp.get_suffixes:

import imp
def get_suffixes():
return [('.py', 'U', 1)]
imp.get_suffixes = get_suffixes

should work.

Thanks! That worked great. However, not its another function
inspect.getmodule that throws an error. Don't know how I can stub out
this one.

Ok. Found the solution. Added the following code:

import os
def readlink(path):
return path
os.readlink = readlink


Thanks!

Victor -

There is also a possible workaround so that you don't need to use
getTokensEndLoc. If you can post or e-mail me more details on your
grammar, I can show you the specific workaround method (which also
should work faster than getTokensEndLoc).

With the imp and readlink monkeypatches, I'm not getting the attribute
error on the local SDK but I _am_ still getting it on the deployment
environment.

Any ideas as to why?

Thanks,
