[Buildbot-devel] ImportError on checkconfig

[Ben Hearsum]

Hi Ian,

The checkconfig code appends a directory to PYTHONPATH, but it  
shouldn't clobber anything already there. Can you try:
cd ~/Buildbot
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`/customCode buildbot checkconfig

I think what's happening here is that '.' is in your PYTHONPATH, but  
'customCode' doesn't get copied to the temporary directory, so when  
checkconfig chdir's there it can't find it anymore.

If the above works, you should consider changing your PYTHONPATH to  
include the full path to customCode.

HTH,
- Ben
