Odoo 8 Auto Backup Module needs pysftp dependency

I cloned Auto Backup module from github repository ( https://github.com/Yenthe666/auto_backup ) into my Odoo machine and added the correct dependency to odoo-server.conf file, but when I click "Update modules list" on the application, I got the following message:

ImportError: This module needs pysftp to automaticly write backups to the FTP through SFTP. Please install pysftp on your system. (sudo pip install pysftp)

Then I typed sudo pip install pysftp in the terminal and I got

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pysftp in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): paramiko>=1.17 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from pysftp)
Cleaning up...

I even tried to type sudo pip install pysftp --upgrade but I got

Requirement already up-to-date: pysftp in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Requirement already up-to-date: paramiko>=1.17 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from pysftp)

Could ye help me on that, please?

Solution

  • I found out the solution! In case anyone has similar issues, what I did was:

    I tried typing sudo pip uninstall pysftp, it didn't work and then I did:

    sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libffi-dev

    which are the dependencies needed for running pysftp (thanks to @lukebranch at github repository issues who figured it out). At this point, if uninstalling pysftp worked, reinstalling pysftp and restarting Odoo server should work. But in my case it was not enough.

    So after that, I typed python to enter python environment and then import pysftp. I got the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pysftp/__init__.py", line 12, in <module>
    import paramiko
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    from paramiko.transport import SecurityOptions, Transport
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py", line 33, in <module>
    from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
ImportError: No module named cryptography.hazmat.backends

    So I exited python environment, then typed sudo pip install paramiko and sudo pip install cryptography. Finally I entered python environment again and typed import pysftp and it worked perfectly.

    Hope it helps someone else!
