ImportError: No module named patterns.extension

[JohnnyUSA]

Hi guys and thanks for this wonderful script.

Worked fine for me until 2 days ago when it seems to fail with this error:

info Sat Feb 20 2016 00:08:04 videosort: ImportError: No module named patterns.extension 
info Sat Feb 20 2016 00:08:04 videosort: import guessit.patterns.extension 
info Sat Feb 20 2016 00:08:04 videosort: File "/opt/nzbget/scripts/videosort/videosort.py", line 254, in <module> 
info Sat Feb 20 2016 00:08:04 videosort: Traceback (most recent call last): 

Python version is:

root@xxx-nas:~# python -V
Python 2.7.9

I've tried to google around and no fix.. you're my last hope.

Thanks in advance!

Replied you on forum.

Hi and thanks for your reply, your 2nd suggestion saved me:

Replacing
sys.path.append(dirname(__file__) + '/lib')
with
sys.path.insert(1, dirname(__file__) + '/lib')
in videosort.py, did the trick. Script is working now.

However, i still get a warning:
videosort: /opt/nzbget/scripts/videosort/lib/guessit/__init__.py:23: UserWarning: Module guessit was already imported from /opt/nzbget/scripts/videosort/lib/guessit/__init__.pyc, but /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages is being added to sys.path

Something to worry about? Cheers!

As long as it works I think you can safely ignore the message.

[JohnnyUSA]

Ok thanks, closing it for now ;)

Hi,

Replacing
sys.path.append(dirname(file) + '/lib')
with
sys.path.insert(1, dirname(file) + '/lib')

for me it is not working. :-(

Now i got the following error:

VideoSort: ValueError: A 0.7-series setuptools cannot be installed with distribute. Found one at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

[mourningsun75]

It works when i uninstall guessit, but guessit is required by other other software

[hugbug]

Your system version of guessit should not be used at all. Check again if the videosort.py were edited correctly with "sys.path.insert". And of course make sure you have the whole videosort-folder including lib-subdirectory and not just videosort.py.

Test 1:

sys.path.append(dirname(__file__) + '/lib')
#sys.path.insert(1, dirname(__file__) + '/lib')

Error:
VideoSort: ImportError: No module named patterns.extension

Test 2:

#sys.path.append(dirname(__file__) + '/lib')
sys.path.insert(1, dirname(__file__) + '/lib')

Error:

VideoSort: /home/xxx/nzbget/plugins/videosort/lib/guessit/__init__.py:23: UserWarning: Module guessit was already imported from /home/xxx/nzbget/plugins/videosort/lib/guessit/__init__.pyc, but /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages is being added to sys.path

"And of course make sure you have the whole videosort-folder including lib-subdirectory and not just videosort.py." -> Checked, everthing is there

[hugbug]

Is this an error at all? Not a warning? I don't see call stack printed.

I'm afraid I can't help you more here as I'm not very experienced with python. I have general debug skills but I need to put my hands on the system to try things.

The combination:

sudo pip uninstall guessit

and

sys.path.append(dirname(__file__) + '/lib')

works perfect.

But not for other tools and scripts

[hugbug]

Make another: use "sys.path.insert" and delete file "videosort/lib/pkg_resources.py".
