twistd scripts don't work when installed

Looks like the twisted and twisted.plugins packages are missing from carbon/setup.py (ant he associated __init__.py in the associated directories)

I tried adding them in, but then util.py can't find the system installed twisted package - I don't know enough about python to say how to fix this.

root@matt:/opt/graphite# ./bin/carbon-cache.py start
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bin/carbon-cache.py", line 28, in <module>
    from carbon.util import run_twistd_plugin
  File "/opt/graphite/lib/carbon/util.py", line 8, in <module>
    from twisted.python.util import initgroups
ImportError: No module named python.util

I'll take a look.

As a test, I tried removing the __init__.py from the install dir /opt/graphite/lib/twisted/[plugins], and the script then seems to run. However, setup.py complains if they aren't there in the source directory, and then adds them to the install directory, so not sure what the solution is. Some way to get setup.py to copy directory trees without treating them as packages?

Basically, I think graphite (twisted?) relies on the plugin files being in a known package so that they get automatically loaded (my original problem). However, having them in the source tree as "packages" causes them to shadow the system package.

Same happens here, carbon doesn't run, same backtrace as the OP. I'm on lucid, python 2.6.

I'm pretty sure this has been fixed. Please confirm.
If I don't hear back I'll close this bug...

I pulled the latest head this morning and I get this error (slightly different traceback though)

root@jschedler-sandbox:/opt/graphite# sudo python bin/carbon-cache.py --debug --config=/opt/graphite/conf/carbon.conf start

    config.parseOptions(twistd_options)

Hmmm I thought the current revision was in the high 570's are you using the 1.1 branch?

Also what version of twisted are you using?

This was a problem with the way twisted caches modules and conflicting with the way we were importing modules. It's been fixed in trunk.

I have the same problem with v. 599.

 I use Centos 6.0 image thoughtpolice:
http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/#centos6.0

I install python (2.6.5) and other required items:
********************************
dhclient eth0
yum install -y python bzr pycairo wget unzip
mkdir -p /tmp/graphite_install
cd /tmp/graphite_install
wget http://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.3.1/tarball/
wget http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/files/django-tagging-0.3.1.zip
tar -zxvf Django-1.3.1.tar.gz
cd Django-1.3.1
python setup.py install
cd ..
unzip django-tagging-0.3.1.zip
cd django-tagging-0.3.1/
python setup.py install
cd ..
********************************

... then i get the latest revision (599) from bazar:

********************************
bzr branch lp:graphite
pushd graphite/whisper
python setup.py install
popd
pushd graphite/carbon
python setup.py install
popd
pushd graphite
python setup.py install
popd
********************************

I try to configure and run the application:

********************************
pushd /opt/graphite/conf
cp carbon.conf.example carbon.conf
cp storage-schemas.conf.example storage-schemas.conf
popd
cd /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite
python manage.py syncdb
cp local_settings.py.example local_settings.py
cd /opt/graphite/
./bin/carbon-cache.py start
********************************

... and I get the same error message:

[root@localhost graphite]# ./bin/carbon-cache.py start
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bin/carbon-cache.py", line 28, in <module>
    from carbon.util import run_twistd_plugin
  File "/opt/graphite/lib/carbon/util.py", line 17, in <module>
    from twisted.python.util import initgroups
ImportError: No module named twisted.python.util

What am I missing?

Well, I managed to move a step further after installing Twisted and zope.interface manually...

yum install python-devel
wget http://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/Twisted/11.0/Twisted-11.0.0.tar.bz2
bunzip2 Twisted-11.0.0.tar.bz2
tar -xvf Twisted-11.0.0.tar
python setup.py install
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/z/zope.interface/zope.interface-3.8.0.tar.gz#md5=8ab837320b4532774c9c89f030d2a389
tar -zxvf zope.interface-3.8.0.tar.gz
cd zope.interface-3.8.0
python setup.py install
cd /opt/graphite/

[root@localhost graphite]# bin/carbon-cache.py start
Starting carbon-cache (instance a)
[root@localhost graphite]# bin/carbon-cache.py status
carbon-cache (instance a) is running with pid 1467

looks much better now...

Released in 0.9.9

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This was apparently fixed by the Graphite project in 0.9.9. As the currently supported Ubuntu versions all have at least 0.9.12, could you please confirm whether this issue has been fixed for you?
