Title: python2.7 - curses module missing
Post by: andriscom on May 18, 2011, 05:07:02 AM

Hi,

 I would like to make an extension from http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/ (http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/) which is a top like disk utilization displaying tool. This is based on python and it's trying to use the curses module.

 The problem is that when I try to launch ./iotop.py I get:

Code: [Select]

File "./iotop.py", line 9 in <module>
   from iotop.ui import main
File "/home/tc/iotop-0.4.3/iotop/ui.py", line 19 in <module>
   import curses
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/curses/__init__.py", line 15 in <module>
   from _curses import *
ImportError: No module named _curses
 I've got the same error after installing ncurses with: tce-load -wi ncurses

 Has anyone any idea how to fix this? I think the problem is in the python2.7 extension, some bad or missing linking to the _curses module, or something like that since the "import curses" command fails.

You can try Python-2.6 from the repo instead of 2.7, import curses works. Don't think 2.7 is a must have version for your apps.

The fixed python.tcz/python-dev.tcz  is uploaded to the repo.

I don't know what happened with the previous build, but "import curses" works fine now and the missing file is now in place.

Thanks for testing and reporting the problem.
