Can't install GASP

Hi,

Gasp does not currently work well outofthebox on Python 2.6 on Windows.

Can you install Python 2.5 and try again?

Hi!

Thanks for getting back to me.

I installed Python 2.5 as you suggested and then installed GASP from this link: http://edge.launchpad.net/gasp-core/0.3.x/0.3.2/+download/python-gasp-0.3.2~win32-2.exe

This is what I get now:

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

IDLE 1.2
>>> import GASP

Traceback (most recent call last):

    import GASP
ImportError: No module named GASP
>>>

Hope you can help!

Thanks in advance.

You are supposed to "import gasp", not GASP, as module names in python are
canonically lowercase.

Sorry about that...

This is what I get when I do that:

IDLE 1.2
>>> import gasp

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import gasp
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\gasp\__init__.py", line 15, in <module>

  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\gasp\api.py", line 26, in <module>
    import backend
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\gasp\backend.py", line 23, in <module>
    import multiprocessing
ImportError: No module named multiprocessing

Download and install

okay, I downloaded multiprocessing-2.6.2.1.win32-py2.5.exe? and when I tried to import gasp I was told that it needed the cairo module. I downloaded an earlier version of cairo that worked with python 2.5 (pycairo-1.2.6-1.win32-py2.5.exe) and that seemed to fix that situation but now I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import gasp
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\gasp\__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    from api import *
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\gasp\api.py", line 26, in <module>
    import backend
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\gasp\backend.py", line 26, in <module>
    import cairo
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\cairo\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from _cairo import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I appreciate your help.

thank you
