can't initialise pycraft_mod

[gruel]

I am sorry to open an issue on pycraft_lib since it concern more pycraft_mod but the issues are not open there.

I followed the instruction you provided for install pycraft for minetest but I can start the game, I got an initialisation error. Since I don't know anything in lua it is difficult for me to solve it.

Can you help, please? I would love to play with it with my son.

The error message is:

2018-03-05 11:52:10: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from /home/gruel/.minetest/mods/pycraft_mod/init.lua:

(There are nothing more in the debug.txt file)

PS: thanks for the mod btw

I had the same problem, it seems to be relative to the security.
I've tried to put :
secure.enable_security = true
secure.trusted_mods = pycraft
in my ~/.minetest/minetest.conf file
but it didn't work.
Finally, I had to put :
secure.enable_security = false
and it worked but of course, it's not safe.

Thanks @Iyeb This setting works for me. What is it doing? And is this is a hack or a needed setting?

Like I said, the configuration of minetest doesn't allow any mod to make anything with your computer so, normally you have to put something like
secure.trusted_mods = pycraft
to tell minetest to allow the pycraft mod to do some operations (like manipulating files I guess).
But with me, it didn't work so I had to disable the security which is not safe if you use minetest with some mods that you found in a weird place... I saw comments telling that we can rely on the mods that we can find in the minetest forum...
