Logilab compatability with Python 27 windows?

Question

I wanted to installed logilab-common 0.61.0 on to my computer I am a windows user and my python version i 27. Whenever I import the module it throws me the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import logilab
  File "logilab\__init__.py", line 28, in <module>
    from logilab.common.__pkginfo__ import version as __version__
ImportError: No module named common.__pkginfo__

However I checked this file exists. Also when I try to call Pylint (the reason I installed logilab) from command line it throws import error

  Loaded Module logilab not not found in sys.modules

I also tried to reinstall logilab and logilab astng. I do not If its a compatibility issue perhaps?

Answer 1

You probably have two distinct installation of the logilab package, one for logilab-common and the other for logilab-astng. Take a look at:

import logilab
print logilab.__path__

You should fix things (adjust PYTHONPATH?) so that you get the directory containing the common subdirectory there.

Also notice that for recent version of pylint (>= 1.0), logilab-astng has been replaced by astroid.
