[Buildbot-devel] ppp -> peculiar python problem

[Alexander Lorenz]

hi all,

all of a sudden i'm having a very strange python problem:


the buldbot/bin/buildbot script won't run and says:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/bin/buildbot", line 
3, in ?
    import buildbot.scripts.runner as runner
  File "/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/bin/buildbot.py", 
line 3, in ?
    import buildbot.scripts.runner as runner
ImportError: No module named scripts.runner

but scripts/runner is definitely there!
yes. i know it's slightly modified from the original, but also the "from 
... import ..." version does not work and throws the same error.

the funny thing is:
when i start the interpreter at the exact same location and type:

import buildbot.scripts.runner as runner
runner.run()


it works just fine!

so the PYTHONPATH should be correct.


any ideas or help is welcome.

annoyingly, bulldbot is useless to us now, just shortly before a release 
(hello murphy) :(.


regards

alex
