Calibre 0.8.36 - Linux Compile Error - No module named dateutil.parser

jasn · 01-21-2012, 10:32 PM

Hello,

I'm running Calibre on my Gentoo X86_64 laptop, (kernel 3.2.1, python 2.7 and 3.2, gcc 4.6.2, gnome 3.2.1), and it's been compiling, installing, and running fine until version 0.8.36. The entire Gentoo build log is here, but I think this is the relevant part;

Code:

*
* Running gui
*

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 99, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "setup.py", line 85, in main
    command.run_all(opts)

    from calibre.utils.date import UNDEFINED_DATE
  File "/tmp/portage/app-text/calibre-0.8.36/work/calibre/src/calibre/utils/date.py", line 13, in <module>
    from dateutil.parser import parse
ImportError: No module named dateutil.parser
 * ERROR: app-text/calibre-0.8.36 failed (install phase):
 *   Installation failed

I've tried rebuilding all of my python modules, as well as all of the Calibre dependencies, but I still hit this error. (BTW, python-dateutil version 2.0 is installed).

Thanks..

You appear to have a broken python-dateutil installation.

from dateutil.parser import parse

should not be failing.

[facepalm]

Sorry Kovid,

I searched the Gentoo Bugzilla, (and Forums, although that's more hit or miss), to see if anyone logged this issue, but I was searching for calibre. When I went back and searched for python-dateutil, this bug was found.

Apparently upgrading python-dateutil to 2.0, (from 1.5), slotted it for the python 3.2 I have installed. Downgrading to 1.5 fixed the problem.

Thanks again..
