#8489: ImportError from missing _md5 gets swallowed ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: jfedor | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: Uncategorized | Version: SVN Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ I encountered this problem on Mac OS X 10.4 using Python 2.5 from !MacPorts and have seen it confusing other people on mailing lists.
If I install the Python package from !MacPorts but forget the py25-hashlib package, importing hashlib fails, but the error message for that is not printed because !ImportError is being cought in source:django/trunk/django/db/__init__.py. The user is stuck with a confusing message of "!ImportError: No module named base" or similar (depending on the DB backend). I suggest catching !ImportError in source:django/trunk/django/utils/hashcompat.py and reraising it as !ImproperlyConfigured. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8489> Django Code <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
