SABnzbd Forums

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?

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)

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?

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.

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

Can I remove the wrong version?

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 :-)
