System cannot find path specified

[Bill Thayer]

I am writing a parser to populate my database. when I used xmlprpxlib I got a malformed xml error. In reading the book it looked like simplejsonrpc was similar so figured I'd give it a shot and wrote a simple test script.

# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
import os, sys
print sys.path
from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy
from gluon.contrib.simplejsonrpc import ServerProxy

jserver = ServerProxy('http://127.0.0.1:8000/TAMOTO_2012/core/call/xmlrpc')
jserver = ServerProxy('http://127.0.0.1:8000/TAMOTO_2012/core/call/jsonrpc', verbose=True)
#using the example from the book to test that the call works
print server.add(3,4)

#
print jserver.add_process("VPIN", "0.25-µm Verticle Pin Diode 2MI", 0.25, 1, 1, "Test import process from xmlrpc call.")

print xserver.add_process("VPIN", "0.25-µm Verticle Pin Diode 2MI", 0.25, 1, 1, "Test import process from xmlrpc call.")

BTW. Looks like the example in the book has an incomplete import statement since the Idle editor tells me so. I changed

from gluon.contrib.simplejsonrpc import


to
from gluon.contrib.simplejsonrpc import ServerProxy

I added c:\web2py to PYTHONPATH and restarted the Idle editor and confirmed c:web2py in the path browser. 
It is further confirmed in the output from
print sys.path

my file is in C:\web2py\applications\TAMOTO_2012\private if that is relavant.
This error message occurs from the simplejsonrpc:

Been working on this all morning. Any help is apreciated.

Just noticed a typo (first jserver should be xserver) but it doesn't affect the outcome.

The problem is that c:/web2py should be the first item in PYTHONPATH. Do you insert stuff in sys.path in your code?

[Bill Thayer]

Thank you Massimo.

Today I have a very similar error and I do have C:\web2py as the first value in my PYTHONPATH environment variable.

I wonder why there are 5 references to c:\web2py\gluon but then at the end it is looking on C:\\Python27 all of a sudden?

I do not have that line. You have an old version of languages.py. That problem may have been fixed already. Can you try the latest trunk and see what you get?
