No module named 'GTG' about gtg HOT 11 CLOSED

Could you check if GTG appears in one of these paths import site; print(site.getsitepackages())

from gtg.

I cloned the master and tried running gtg directly from the source directory...

$ cd gtg/GTG
$ python3 gtg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gtg", line 57, in <module>
    from GTG import _
ImportError: No module named 'GTG'

from gtg.

@akwala

cd /path/to/cloned/gtg
PYTHONPATH=. GTG/gtg

from gtg.

Thx, @tkdchen!

That fixed the issue w/ 'GTG' module not being found. However, it then reported the same for module 'liblarch'. I have python3-liblarch from the gtg-daily PPA, but it's in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, so I tried the following (in /path/to/cloned/gtg)...

$ PYTHONPATH=".:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages" python3 GTG/gtg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "GTG/gtg", line 51, in <module>
    import dbus
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/__init__.py", line 82, in <module>
    import dbus.types as types
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/types.py", line 6, in <module>
    from _dbus_bindings import (
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_dbus_bindings.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct

(Let me know if I should create a new issue since the OP's issue is fixed for me.)

@akwala

Version mismatch. Python3 cannot import Python2 modules.

from gtg.

So, python3-liblarch is actually a python2 module? If so, is there a python3 module of liblarch?

from gtg.

@akwala u may install liblarch from the master branch. That had been ported to Python 3.

from gtg.

It seems this is a problem with the PPA. Could you try to install liblarch with pip [1] and see if it works?

[1] pip3 install --user -e git+git://github.com/getting-things-gnome/liblarch.git#egg=liblarch

from gtg.

@izidormatusov Can you please build python3-liblarch with latest gtg in daily build PPA? Thanks.

from gtg.

As we are a new team taking over the maintainership of this project and the Python 3 migration was done a while ago already, it is difficult to guess if this problem still applies to the current development version. Furthermore, I do not have sufficient time and knowledge about packaging, and I do not run Ubuntu.

Please try out the git version and see if it improved anything or if the issue remains intact and is still relevant today.

Regarding the mentions of a PPA, if someone wants to bother maintaining a PPA, feel free to get involved to do that.

Alternatively, there is a Flatpak of the 0.3.1 stable version that exists thanks to @bilelmoussaoui and he once successfully packaged the git version.

from gtg.

This doesn't happen when running from the Flatpak, or using ./gtg.sh in the git repo

from gtg.
