Linkstation SABnzbdplus... Cheetah module not found

[Wallace4793]

Hi

I've installed sabnzbdplus to my linkstation which installs the dependencies automatically but for some reason it doesn't find the cheetah module... I get the error :

"the following modules need to be installed : cheetah, cherrypy (included in zip) , sqlite"

I've posted on the ls forum but it's not that active... Anyone seen this or have any ideas?

It's a three-in-one error message.
How do you know that Cheetah is missing?

[Wallace4793]

I looked through SABnzbd.py and it gives that error if python isn't >2. Cheetah is installed during sb install and if I put ipkg install cheetah it tells me it is installed and upto date ( as is sqlite etc)

[Wallace4793]

I also removed the "if" to stop it checked version in SABnzbd.py and it now just says "no cheetah module found"

What happens if you start the Python interpreter, and type:
import Cheetah
Do you get an error message?
If so, something is wrong in your package installation.
Also, do you have multiple Python versions installed?

[Wallace4793]

I've started the interpreter and tried to import cheetah but it says no module found. I've searched the available modules and it's missing. Ipkg informs Py25-cheetah is installed to root and up to date!

I'm lost :-(

Thanks

Which version of Python did you start?
What does the sign-on say?
Changes are that you have more than one installed and the package goes to the version that's not first in the path.

[Wallace4793]

Python is reported as 2.6.2... Is this supported? Think it must come with the shonk 1.54 firmware?

[Wallace4793]

Can I remove the wrong version?

[shypike]

OK, you say you have Python 2.6, but you installed py25-cheetah. That doesn't match obviously.
It's not necessary to remove one Python.
You either run Python 2.5, by starting SABnzbd using the python25 program
or you install py26-cheetah (and also py26-yenc).
On systems with multiple versions, the default one is started using "python",
while an explicit version is started using "python25" or "python26".

Thanks. I tried installing the 2.6 dependencies but it didn't work however I have managed tonget it working by starting with python2.5.... Thanks for the help I've been at it for 3 days! Ha

Now for couchpotato :-)
