Failed installation on QNAP TS-210 NAS which previously worked ok

[Nick Tripp]

Hi

I have a QNAP TS-210 which was configured as a single disk device, i was running pywws fine on this for over a year. I can't recall the version number of pywws i was running, but i think it was 13.06.

I recently upgraded my NAS to have two Hard drives and this required me to install all the applications again, including pywws. This is when my problems started. I am using a pywws qnap qpkg compiled by a QNAP forum member, which i had used previously with no problem. When i try installing the qpkg it now it fails at 45% and produces the following error in the pip.log. 

[/tmp] # vi /tmp/pywws/pip.log

I've asked on the qnap community forum and they are unable to help and suggested posting here. 

The dependencies for pywws are installed via Optware and this is the full list of everything that is installed. 

Would appreciate any help in trying to solve the problem.

Thanks

Nick

You're running Python 2.5 (Python 2.6 came out in 2008, 2.7 in 2010) but
I accidentally let some more modern Python syntax slip in to the
setup.py script without adding a "from __future__ import with_statement"
line to allow for older versions.

I'll correct future releases of pywws, but what you can do now is to
download a .tar.gz or .zip file from
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywws/14.06.1, extract it and then edit
setup.py. Add the "from __future__" line just before the first import
statement, then run "python setup.py build" and "sudo python setup.py
install".

Thanks Jim

I have done that and it has fallen over again with another Syntax issue, see below. I See that this is also not valid for 2.5, but i'm not sure how to change it to be compatible

[/share/Qweather] # python setup.py build

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 29, in <module>

    exec(f.read())

  File "<string>", line 1

    __version__ = '14.06.1'

                           ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This must be a misleading error message. I can't believe that's invalid
syntax, even in Python 2.5 (which I no longer have access to to test).

I suggest you copy the contents of src/pywws/__init.py into setup.py and
remove the lines:

with open('src/pywws/__init__.py') as f:

exec(f.read())

[Nick Tripp]

Thanks for the advice. I have it running with version 13.06 from your website, so will leave it like that for now.  thanks for your help.

Found this on the net, appears the exec command did change between 2.5 and 3

Ah, that's it. I'm using it as a function in setup.py - I assume that's
been backported from Python 3 into later versions of Python 2.

[Nick Tripp]

Just installed the latest update under Python 2.5 on my Qnap drive and everything is now working. Thanks for the update.
