Import error when email2trac is run

[anonymous]

I have following error when email2trac is run on test email msg.txt:

/usr/share/python2.6/site-packages/trac/__init__.py:17: UserWarning: Module trac was already imported from /usr/share/python2.6/site-packages/trac/__init__.pyc, but /usr/share/python2.6/site-packages/Trac-1.0.1-py2.6.egg is being added to sys.path

Is seems that you have installed multiple trac instances? Is this correct? If you execute this on your command line:

python
from trac import __version__ as trac_version
print trac_version

or

python
import pdb

I corrected the problem with two instances but the problem still persists: 2013-02-14 11:38:09,656 email2trac maintenance: Found trac version: 1.0 2013-02-14 11:38:09,811 email2trac maintenance: Traceback (most recent call last): 2013-02-14 11:38:09,811 email2trac maintenance: File "/usr/local/bin/email2trac", line 2671, in <module> from trac.test import Mock, MockPerm? 2013-02-14 11:38:09,812 email2trac maintenance: File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/trac/test.py", line 22, in <module> 2013-02-14 11:38:09,812 email2trac maintenance: File "/usr/share/python2.6/doctest.py", line 99, in <module> 2013-02-14 11:38:09,812 email2trac maintenance: ImportError?: No module named pdb

This is the problem. The python module pdb.py is not installed. Or due use virtualenv and installed python/trac in it?

Pehaps a stupid question - but how to install pdb - I cound not find an rpm with my package manager nor with easy_install?

[bas]

Not at all. For my debian installation it is in the core python installation:

python2.6: /usr/lib/python2.6/pdb.py

It is the python debugger. Maybe it is a separate package for RPM distro's

Finally I have found it - on my distribution (PLD) it is in python-devel-tools. emailt2trac now works without errors.
