Flask-Cache: CACHE_TYPE is set to null

[ThomasEvansNZ]

Hi there,

I have been attempting to install Caravel for the last 4 hours with miserable results - my Linux is rather rusty so perhaps the issue is user orientated...

The issue I am facing is around the creation of a admin user, I keep being returned the following error:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/flask_cache/__init__.py:152: UserWarning: Flask-Cache: CACHE_TYPE is set to null, caching is effectively disabled. warnings.warn("Flask-Cache: CACHE_TYPE is set to null, " Was unable to import caravel Error: invalid syntax (views.py, line 880)

Now I know that python2.6 is not supported, however I installed 2.7:

[oracle@bigdatalite ~]$ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 18 2016, 21:11:17) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-17)] on linux2

So it seems odd to me that the packages are being installed under the /usr/bin/python2.6/site-packages directory in python?

I have attempted to pip uninstall the various flask packages and retrieve previous versions which didn't help either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Better install caravel inside a virtualenv created with python3.4+ . If you can't do that python2.7 should be fine. Don't mess install python libraries in system python.
