post processing on OS X with python script

[imthenachoman]

I am having trouble running a python post processing script. Right now my script is simple:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python2.6

import sys
import plistlib

Here is the error:

    'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
...(cut for brevity)...
ImportError: No module named plistlib

The program works fine when run via CLI.

I have even tried a wrapper script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

SCRIPT_DIR=`dirname "$(cd "${0%/*}" 2>/dev/null; echo "$PWD"/"${0##*/}")"`
/usr/bin/python2.6 $SCRIPT_DIR/to_iphone.py "$@"

But I get the same error.

I am on beta6 but I had the same problem with beta5.

I'm having the same troubles with a different script.  Is it a problem with our python path?  I've checked my path in the python interpreter using sys.path and it seems to be point towards 2.6.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I've seen quite a few posts from people having this problem on their Macs but no solutions.

Yeah it has something to do with the PATH that SabNZBD uses. I'm finding the path for all my modules and adding them to the path for SabNZBD.

Look at my code to see how I got it to work.

cool. I will give your fix a try, and post back if it works for my script.

Edit: works like a charm. thanks! Been annoyed for a month about that "bug"

It looks like this something Snow Leopards Python causes.
The app is built on Snow Leopard.
The script gets the wrong PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME environment variables,
the ones of the "embedded" Python.
I'm not sure we can fix this.

There is a work-around possible.
You'll need to make a wrapper script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
unset PYTHONPATH
unset PYTHONHOME
/full-path-to-your/python-script.py $*

I've found another way to make it works.
Just add "-E" to your python scripts shebang like this :

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python -E

No need to make a wrapper or mod sys.path anymore.
