Experience with SABnzbd on Python 2.6

[sander]

FWIW: I would like to share experiences with SABnzbd on Python 2.6

I'm able to use SABnzbd 0.4.7 on Python 2.6 (on Ubuntu Jaunty Alpha 5 updated), however there two DeprecationWarnings at the beginning:

Code: Select all

As reported in another thread, so far SAB runs without python-yenc.

A annoying thing: pressing Save Changes after a change in http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/m/config/general/, takes ages (well: at least 5 minutes, after which I pressed Ctrl-C). Output on the screen:

Shypike has started to address some python 2.6 problems for 0.5. It is not the sabnzbd code that is incompatible but the third party code we use. The warnings can be ignored, they are just warning for stuff that can't be used in python 3.

• CherryPy
• yEnc (not required by heavily recommended)
• Cheetah (may work without compiling)
• kronos (probably causes the crashes at shutdown or config change)
• configobj (ini config reading)
• pyOpenSSL (required for SSL and HTTPS)

You can track further progress here. There is no guarentee we can have python 2.6 support for the sabnzbd 0.5 release, it depends on if the third party code is updated or can be easily patched.

Nice to have a way to keep up with progress as it's made. Noticed the infinite wait on shutdown myself as well when using 2.6 in an emulated jaunty install, good to know it wasn't just general slowness associated with such a setup .

A 'workaround' is to just reload the (start) webpage of SABnzbd, so http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd : the web engine apparently just works.

EDIT:

A 'workaround' with 0.4.7 is to just reload the webpage of SABnzbd, so pressing the web browser's Reload butoon or F5, a few seconds after pressing Save Changes.

To use the 0.5.0-version I need to use the svn-version, right? Is there an *easy* way to get that version unto my system? I was able to get it a month ago (after creating a password on assembla and doing a lot of things on my system), but I've forgotten how.

I tried "wget --recursive http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/SABnzbd/trunk/main/", but that results in files without correct rwx-settings, so it doesn't work.

Tips?


Futhermore: I'm glad to see there's work on SAB on python 2.6.
Just checking: Ubuntu 9.04 has Python 2.6 and whill arrive late April, and by that time SAB will not have reached 0.5.0? If so, we still need to find a solution for SAB 0.4.x on Python 2.6 on Ubuntu 9.04.

There's public svn access, just 'svn co

There's public svn access, just 'svn co

Thanks: that works easily.

I'm now running the trunk version on Python 2.6 (on Jaunty) and ... Save Changes works fast! Great.

BTW: I'm impressed by the setup wizard, including the initial server testing. And I think the Giganews-advice is good for new users and (probably) good for the SAB developers. I didn't check, but I hope Giganews has a one-day-access-for-one-SMS service, as that's handy for new users.

Hi!

Just installed python 2.6 (can't use 2.5) and downloaded the latest 0.5.x alpha release. Everything works as expected but I can't use any skin other than the default one. If I configure Plush, it looks like plain html-text, no buttons, just text...As I am just a lame windows user, I have no idea whats wrong.

Do I miss something or is this normal, cuz' it's an alpha release?

Also my download speed is significantly lower, but will investigate this later.

I'm using latest alpha on freenas 0.7RC2.

Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand me

Regards,
Jan

Try a ctrl+f5 (clear your cache). Sounds like the stylesheet (.css file) just isn't getting loaded.

[sHINE]

Hi!

Just tried that with no success. Even used another browser (Firefox, IE) with no success...

Any other hints? It appears on all skins other than the default one.

[switch]

What page are you navigating to? Make sure it is the index of the site (http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ or just http://localhost:8080 under 0.5). smpl and plush both load the other pages by javascript so there is no need for other pages to output the full page.

[sHINE]

Yes, it's the index. Maybe I need some additionall packages for FreeBSD?

This is what I have installed:

python 2.6
python 2.6-Setuptools
Cheetah
CherryPy 3.2(supplied by u)
python 2.6 utils
python 2.6-elementtree
python 2.6-cElementTree
python 2.6-openssl
python 2.6-chardet
python 2.6-feedparser
par2cmdline
unrar
unzip

Can I look in some log-files to investigate this further?

[switch]

Can you just navigate to the main sabnzbd page, save it in your browser (File>Save) and send it to bugs@sabnzbd.org so I can take a further look at what is (or is not) being loaded.

Cheers.

Mail sent.

This is how it looks like. Some buttons work, some don't (like the save button)
Plush skin configured.
