I'm desperately trying to get SAB running on Linux—it's an old xbox running Xebian a version of debian and I think a 2.4 kernell using the old sarge repos.

I seem to be getting the same error

Code: Select all

box:/home/gil/sab/SABnzbd-0.3.4# ./SABnzbd.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./SABnzbd.py", line 26, in ?
    import sabnzbd
  File "/home/gil/sab/SABnzbd-0.3.4/sabnzbd/__init__.py", line 37, in ?
    from sabnzbd.assembler import Assembler, PostProcessor

  File "/home/gil/sab/SABnzbd-0.3.4/sabnzbd/interface.py", line 38, in ?
    from cherrypy.filters.gzipfilter import GzipFilter
ImportError: No module named filters.gzipfilter

I've found a few posts on here that say it's because of a too new a version of Cherry.py. I've checked my version and it says this;

>>> import cherrypy
>>>

also there's this:

Any ideas how I can get round this error and get the amazing program that is SAB up and running?

I'm not sure if it's connected but I tried using SABnzb-.4+ at first but it kept complaining I need a version of python greather than 2.3. But when I run the command Python -V the version number is Python 2.5.4 -- above the required version. So I dropped down a version point not sure if that;s the right thing to of done.

TIA.

We don't support release 0.3.4 anymore.
It needs a very old version of CherryPy.
You should use SABnzbd 0.4.12 or higher, those come with their own CherryPy included.

I've changed to SABnzbd-0.4.12 but I'm now getting the wrong Python version error.

Code: Select all

box:/home/gil/sab/SABnzbd-0.4.12# ls

box:/home/gil/sab/SABnzbd-0.4.12# ./SABnzbd.py 
Sorry, requires Python 2.4.3 or higher.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./SABnzbd.py", line 21, in ?

But according to python I'm running a hire version:

Code: Select all

box:/home/gil/sab/SABnzbd-0.4.12# python -V
Python 2.5.4

Any ideas what's going wrong?

What happens if you use this?

Code: Select all

python ./SABnzbd.py

python SABnzbd.py seems to work fine.

That's weird.

Thanks for your help

Most Unix scripts have their interpreter path in the first line.
The path that SABnzbd.py uses might not be appropriate for your system.
