Hello, lxml library is not linked properly in Eclipse/PyDev, but it's ok in the command shell.
system: Debian/Squeeze Eclipse: 3.5.2 - installed via Synaptic debian package manager PyDev: 1.5.9.2010063001 lxml: 2.2.6-1 - installed via Synaptic debian package manager (python-lxml package) The lxml has been installed to two different locations, where some of the files (is that the problem??? !!!) are links to the second place. Let's see how it's installed: ls -l /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 4. čec 23.22 lxml lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 4. čec 23.22 lxml-2.2.6.egg-info -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml-2.2.6.egg-info ls -l /usr/share/pyshared/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 4. čec 23.22 lxml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2660 10. bře 11.40 lxml-2.2.6.egg-info ls -l /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/lxml/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 4. čec 23.22 builder.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/builder.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6643 4. čec 23.22 builder.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 4. čec 23.22 cssselect.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/cssselect.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33223 4. čec 23.22 cssselect.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 4. čec 23.22 doctestcompare.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/doctestcompare.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17263 4. čec 23.22 doctestcompare.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 4. čec 23.22 ElementInclude.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/ElementInclude.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4477 4. čec 23.22 ElementInclude.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 4. čec 23.22 _elementpath.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/_elementpath.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5842 4. čec 23.22 _elementpath.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1036644 10. bře 11.40 etree.so drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 4. čec 23.22 html lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 4. čec 23.22 __init__.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/__init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136 4. čec 23.22 __init__.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271856 10. bře 11.40 objectify.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 4. čec 23.22 pyclasslookup.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/pyclasslookup.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211 4. čec 23.22 pyclasslookup.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 4. čec 23.22 sax.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/sax.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8582 4. čec 23.22 sax.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 4. čec 23.22 usedoctest.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/usedoctest.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 425 4. čec 23.22 usedoctest.pyc ls -l /usr/share/pyshared/lxml/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7637 11. zář 2009 builder.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30312 13. lis 2009 cssselect.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18287 11. zář 2009 doctestcompare.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7641 11. zář 2009 ElementInclude.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6407 11. zář 2009 _elementpath.py drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 4. čec 23.22 html -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 11. zář 2009 __init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87 11. zář 2009 pyclasslookup.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8229 11. zář 2009 sax.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 230 11. zář 2009 usedoctest.py Note, that in the pyshared location is missing the element tree !!! Let's see, difference between command shell and the Eclipse shell: Python in Command Shell (OK): Python 2.6.5+ (release26-maint, Jul 1 2010, 00:47:18) [GCC 4.4.4] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import lxml >>> lxml <module 'lxml' from '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/lxml/__init__.pyc'> >>> from lxml import etree >>> etree <module 'lxml.etree' from '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/lxml/etree.so'> >>> Eclipse's PyDev console (WRONG): /usr/bin/python2.6 2.6.5+ (release26-maint, Jul 1 2010, 00:47:18) [GCC 4.4.4] >>> import lxml >>> lxml <module 'lxml' from '/usr/share/pyshared/lxml/__init__.py'> >>> from lxml import etree Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in<module> ImportError: cannot import name etree >>> As we can see, there is a difference from where the lxml is loaded, so my suggestion is, that the Eclipse/PyDev is following the file links "too much" :( Here is the PYTHONPATH from Eclipse: /home/yatuga/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.5.0_155965261/plugins/org.python.pydev_1.5.9.2010063001/PySrc /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lxml /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload /home/yatuga/work/Shop/Invoices/src /usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2 /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/lxml /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk /usr/share/pyshared /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0 /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10 /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages And here from command shell: /home/yatuga/~/PythonTest /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2 /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10 /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6 /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0 /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages I also tried to add /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/lxml to the PYTHONPATH, but with no success. It still follows links to pyshared and etree module is still unknown. What I want: 1) find some clean solution for this problem, if possible 2) post bug report to the right place Eclipse or PyDev or python-lxml deb package creator Thank you for any suggestions and help with this.
