autogen.py fails on windows (no module named cpack)

[bornschein]

I am doing this:

git clone https://github.com/KDAB/KDSoap.git
cd KDSoap
git submodule update --init
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\qt-5.0.1\qtbase\bin
autogen.py

... and get the following error trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Qt\KDSoap\autogen.py", line 2, in
from autogen.autogen import autogen
File "C:\Qt\KDSoap\autogen\autogen.py", line 3, in
from cpack import CPackGenerateConfiguration
ImportError: No module named 'cpack'

a few things to check:
which python? could you be finding a python inside cygwin or msys somehow?
%PYTHONPATH% . is that set properly?
git . did the files in the autogen subdir get checkout properly? do they have CRLF line-endings?

so make sure you have kdsoap/autogen/cmake.py and it looks ok and has CRLF line-endings and PYTHONPATH isn't messed-up somehow. and make sure your python is the right one.

then, if all that looks ok... possibly we need to look at setting your PYTHONPATH to C:\Qt\KDSoap\autogen

oops. reopening

Hi Allen,

Here is the deal:
We have 2 different windows 7 machines, both with Qt 5.0.1.
On machine 1 KDSoap builds just fine.
On machine 2 we cannot get autogen to run properly with the original mentioned error trace .

In order to eliminate git differences (crlf and stuff like this) I even zipped and copied the whole KDSoap directory from machine 1 to machine 2.
But autogen still fails on machine 2 and still passes on machine 1.

On both machines there is no %PYTHONPATH% set. This seems not to be necessary since machine 1 builds fine. Python itself is in the PATH
On both machines there is also no kdsoap/autogen/cmake.py file

We use python 3.3

Any other idea?

Thanks
Stefan

Stefan,
confirmed. I can duplicate the problem with python3.
in the meantime, while I try to fix, you could try python2.7

[winterz]

Stefan, please make sure to use python2. The autogen program is not ported to Python3 yet. We are discussing supporting Python3 but haven't made a decision yet.

For now, I will close this.

This is happening on a Debian Linux dev platform if I checkout any of the tags but not if I build trunk.

Should I run trunk? I don't normally do that for development.
