hookbox-dax 0.3.4a1 released

[Dax]

Hi All,

I made an 'unofficial' hookbox packaged and bumped the version to 0.3.4a1

you can get them via:

pip install hookbox-dax

Regards,

Dax

Dax,

This is great, thank you for doing this.  I've finally been able to get back and try to update to this on a new WIndows 7 system, but when I try to install, I get an error trying to build libevent as part of event.  I've googled the error but haven't found anything yet.  Have you run into this?

If I can't figure this out I'll have to stick with 0.3.3.

Thanks for any help,

Dave

Hi Dave,

My apologies, I have not tested hookbox-dax on windows. It is probably
compiling for a new libevent (v 2.x) module. Are you able to install a
libevent 1.4.x? That is what Im using in Linux and OSX. I was also
having problems with libevent 2.x . I will try to see if I can get
hold of a windows 7.

Right now, Im trying to research more on realtime stuff (nodejs,
sockjs, meteor) and see if I can make hookbox move forward.
In the short term, I will experiment on a use gevent [1] instead of
eventlet, request/grequest [2,3] instead of restkit .

Hi Dax,

It looks as though perhaps libevent is completely missing from event's (0.4.2) dependency list?  When setup is run on the event package's egg_info, it can't find libevent.  Then, later on the build fails since again it appears libevent components are not present.

Is libevent for Python (2.7) available anywhere?  It didn't seem to be out on the package repositories I know about.  I will continue to look for libevent 1.4.x on Windows and let you know.  Meanwhile, I'm attacking from another angle, trying to use the last hookbox version (0.3.4dev ?) Michael Carter put out - while it worked for me on Windows XP, now that I've tried to move it to Windows 7 (which is where my users are going), I'm encountering some sort of performance slowdown, seeming to be on the REST interface side I think.

Please let's keep each other posted.  I had hoped it would be reasonably straightforward to move to Windows 7 from XP, but it's proving to be anything but.

Thanks for the help - it's very appreciated.

Dave B.

[Dave B.]

OK...based on your recommendation I found libevent 1.4.x at: https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz

Then, using MS VC++ 2008 Redistrib,, after running vcvars32.bat to set the environment vars up, I cd'ed to the unpacked libevent main directory and typed:  nmake -f makefile.nmake and it built (failed in the build of some test modules at the end but that seemed not to be an issue)!

Then, I put a copy of the built libevent in a sibling directory next to the "event" directory in the pip temporary build tree, and event 0.4.2 *almost* built - but I'm getting the following error:

Downloading/unpacking event==0.4.2

Progress, but slow.  Again thanks for the help so far.

Built!

A tip found at:  http://code.google.com/p/pyevent/issues/list (mousing over issue #15) saved me time and got me over the hump.

Now to see how hookbox-dax performs on Windows 7...

[Dax Reyes]

Glad to know that. Let us know how your testing goes.

[Dave B.]

Hi Dax,

Sorry for not getting back here until now.  Because I had been using the previous 0.3.4a (pre hookbox-dax) version, that's the one I was instructed to continue using (minimize changes to everything, etc.)  I did get hookbox-dax built like I mentioned previously but didn't get very far with testing,

You mentioned something in a previous post about getting away from event/libevent in a future version.  When other changes in my project die down, I'd be very interested to see what you come up with and help test if I can.

Thank you again for your help in promoting what has been proving to be a very good piece of software for my use case (real-time passing of data from a console app to a web app).

Dave

Hi Dave,

Glad to know how hookbox is being used in a production environment. :)
