this introduction does not include any instructions for when you get an ERROR.

I also received errors. Not sure where to turn to figure this out:

With python 2.6 I get "ImportError?: No module named test_config" which I can't figure out because it's in the directory and also test_data imports successfully.

I also have the problem that rkimbrell1449 discribed

I also have the problem that rkimbrell1449 and laser.yuan mentioned. Why is there no module called test_config in the provided code?

I too am experiencing the problem mentioned by rkimbrell1449, laser.yuan, and aneeshvkulkarni.

Please help us out...

I received a similar import error about not being able to find the test_config module. I've just started digging into this myself to see what the root cause is... I'm on Ubuntu Jaunty running Python 2.6.2

is there a solution for this? ^

> "ImportError??: No module named test_config". I think $PYTHONPATH should include the path to "gdata-2.0.?/src" or installed directory which has atom/ and gdata/ directories. "import gdata.test_config" means to import gdata/test_config.py

On Ubuntu 9.04, I moified my PYTHONPATH as follow "export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages", and I could run tests/run_data_tests.py

I tried doing the above (mototopad) and also tried using python2.5 instead of 2.6, but still getting same error. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10. Any help?

Workaround: copy paste src/gdata and src/atom to the current working directory. Will make sure they're found.

Thank you aditya.sahay for the solution

I did the unpacking as root, and found I had to do all the following before I got it to work:

Opened ~/.bashrc added the following lines (the <path to> means the path where you put it, such as /usr/local/lib/python2.6/): <path to>gdata-2.0.5/src/atom <path to>gdata-2.0.5/src/gdata <path to>gdata-2.0.5/tests/atom_tests <path to>gdata-2.0.5/tests/gdata_tests

Then I saved the file. In terminal add the following lines: $ source ~/.bashrc

Then I made sure that the permissions were not giving me any problems: $ sudo chmod -R 755 <path to>/gdata-2.0.5

I am not sure if that is the 'right' way, but it worked (so far) for me.

Thanx mototopad export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages solved the problem

On Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0, I installed the py26-gdata package with the port collection. Then, I modified PYHTONPATH to: export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

The installer seems to be broken or it is at least not working for all Python versions/operating systems/distributions etc. On Ubuntu 9.10 with Python 2.6.4 it has no effect at all, because it copies the files to /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib.

On Ubuntu, this is what should worked for most people:

sudo ./setup.py install

sudo mv /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/* /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages

lifeonmars.config - Thank you. I am on Ubuntu 9.1 with Python 2.6.4 and this resolved my issues. I am not able to run all apps that utilize the library without the PYTHONPATH variable.

lifeonmars.config ftw. Props, holmes.

lifeonmars.config youre the Man. Who'd though a simple mv would spare me fiddling around with Environment Vars and .bash-aliases

lifeonmars.config you did it for me too. Why couldn't they have gotten this right in the first place?

lifeonmars.config - thank you. I am on Ubuntu 10.04 x64 with Python 2.6

Do you really want to mv those files? Can't you accomplish the same with a symlink?

lifeonmars.config: I can confirm on 32bit Ubuntu 10.04 python 2.6, the mv statement makes it all just work.

The move worked for Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, Python 2.6.

Any explanation as to why? I am using Eclipse as my IDE with pydev. The system pythonpath includes both /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages and /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages.

I also tried adding the specific folder paths in the individual project's external libraries, which I assume gets added onto the pythonpath variable.

But I guess if it works it works...

The correct way would be to use the --prefix flag when running setup.py install

Like this:

./setup.py install --prefix='/usr'

thanks Sven!

Having problems with the install on Win7. I'm running Python 2.6 which was installed in an unusual spot: C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\. After installing gdata, everything runs fine if the program is in the gdata directory. Anywhere else and I receive the error "ImportError?: No module named docs.service".

I've modified the PYTHONPATH variable to "C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\Lib", but it still will not find the libraries for gdata. All of the other libraries are found without a problem.

Anyone have a suggestion?
