I'd like to run the tests, but what are the exact python dependencies of regression.py? (Sorry if this is on a website somewhere, but I couldn't find it..)
The 'regression.py' docs are here -- http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/regression_setup/instructions.html, but at the moment they don't document its [external] Python module dependencies, which are: xml.sax.saxutils, urllib, tarfile, ftplib, zipfile, socket, time, getopt, glob, shutil, stat, os.path, os, inspect, traceback, string, sys and, possibly, depending on the options, 'smtplib' and 're'.
First I was missing tarfile, but was able to find python-tarfile and python-bz2 which got me a bit further. Now I get:
File "regression.py", line 758, in ? commands[ command ]( **accept_args( args ) ) File "regression.py", line 602, in regression setup( comment, toolsets, bjam_toolset, pjl_toolset, monitored, proxy, [] ) File "regression.py", line 373, in setup import_utils() File "regression.py", line 342, in import_utils import utils as utils_module ImportError: No module named utils
Where can I find this "utils" package? (preferably a Fedora Core 1 RPM, but that's not too important)
'utils' is imported from the inside of the unpacked archive, so the above probably means that the latter didn't unpack properly. Let me do a quick test of the whole thing on OS X... Oh, it seems like 'tarfile' (at least as in Python 2.3) is not able to handle either of the tarballs -- it doesn't fail, but doesn't unpack anything either. [It works fine with zip on Windows]. We'll have to look into it further, but meanwhile I modified 'regression.py' to accept both the tarball and the unpacked directory name, so you have an option of unpacking the thing manually and then invoking the script like this: chmod -R +w boost_1_32_0 # permissions *do* get in the way python regression.py --local=boost_1_32_0 --runner=<your runner id> ^^^^^^^^^^^^ --toolsets=<your toolsets> [<more options as needed>] The updated script is available from the same location -- http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/regression.py. Let us know if you come across any other issues, and thank you for doing the tests! -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
