[reportlab-users] Can't get reportlab to work

[Brian Kessler]

Just realized my remaining problem:

Somehow, the extension ".py" is still associated with Python 2.7, so if I
use "manage.py shell", Python 2.7 launches.

However, if I use "python manage.py shell", Python 2.6.5 launches and I can
import reportlab.

Cheers for the help.

Best regards,

-Brian.

Dear Robin,

Thank you for your response.

With regard to your questions:


>perhaps you can say how you installed reportlab/rlextra


To install rlextra:

1. Open PowerCmd
2. At command prompt:

    C:\shell\bblean>d:
    D:\>cd D:\downloads\Developer Tools\python\python 2.6
    D:\downloads\Developer Tools\python\python
2.6>rlextra-2.4.win32-py2.6.exe

3. In rlextra-2.4 window

    Next >

		Window Displays:

		Python Version 2.6 (found in registry)
		Python Directory C:\devtool\Python26\
		Installation Directory
C:\devtool\Python26\Lib\site-packages\

    Next >
    Next >
    Finish

4. Back at command prompt:

    D:\downloads\Developer Tools\python\python 2.6>c:
    C:\shell\bblean>cd C:\devtool\Python26\Lib\site-packages\rlextra
    C:\devtool\Python26\Lib\site-packages\rlextra>python testall.py


Now (unlike before), this worked with the following results:

 
............................................................................
.........................................................
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ran 133 tests in 32.500s

    OK


However, I am still having problems importing reportlab:

    C:\devtool\Python26\Lib\site-packages\rlextra>d:
    D:\downloads\Developer Tools\python\python 2.6>cd
\education\python\FirstProject\mysite\
    D:\education\python\FirstProject\mysite>manage.py shell
    Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul  4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    (InteractiveConsole)
    >>> import reportlab
    Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
    ImportError: No module named reportlab
    >>> 




>Can you confirm that you have only one python and that it's installed at

c:\devtool\Python26?

There are two Pythons.  The second is Python 2.7 and installed to
c:\devtool\Python27

However, my environmental variables are only configured for 2.6:

    PATH = C:\WINDOWS\system32;%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows
Live;C:\devtool\Java\Sun\SDK\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;C:\devtool\C
ollabNet Subversion
 
Server;C:\devtool\Python26\;C:\devtool\Python26\scripts;C:\devtool\PostgreSQ
L\8.4\bin;
    PYTHONPATH = C:\devtool\Python26



>Are there files called

>C:\devtool\Python26\Lib\site-packages\rlextra\test\test_layout.py

>C:\devtool\Python26\Lib\site-packages\rlextra\test\__init__.py

>C:\devtool\Python26\Lib\site-packages\reportlab\__init__.py


Yes, on all counts.


>What happens when you try executing



>C:\devtool\Python26\python.exe -c"import sys;print sys.path"
