"ImportError: No module named zope.interface"

[timvermeulen]

I'm on OS X Yosemite, have followed all the instructions, and I do reach the Syncplay configuration screen. However, when trying to join a room, VLC never opens and I get the error

ImportError: No module named zope.interface

Your official troubleshooting guide says

the trick is go to into the installed zope module and add an empty init.py file in the zope directory

but this doesn't fix anything. The same error arises when trying the mvp player. Is there anything else I can try?

Additional information: the zope directory was installed at

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python

and not at

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Try installing zope at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages and/or ensure the other directory is in PYTHONPATH.

Just did that (the first) and the same error message is shown. Following the suggestion of the troubleshooting guide still doesn't help, either.

I tried all of that, and unfortunately, the error persists.

Turns out, /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages wasn't in PYTHONPATH, for some reason. Adding it fixed it.
