Just a thought: Unix is case-sensitive for file names, whereas Windows is not. If you have problems with an application not finding files, this is often the cause. Try renaming the file to the exact name in the error message. "Yaml" and "yaml" are not the same.

Thanks Paradox,

I have made a copy of the PIL folder and the Crypto Folder in the script folder, I steal have a problem with Image module:

Code: Select all

prompt> blender

Is it because of my difference of Crypto.Cipher version (I don't trust that) or because I keep the folder instead of copy the files directly in the script folder? If it's this explanation, why it's working with yaml and Crypto folders and not with PIL? It's made no sense .

And my english is less than understandable at this hour, see you tomorrow.

[Paradox]

Are you using Python 2.5? I remember that Blender 2.45 had an option to use Python 2.4.

PyPRP requires 2.5.

[Gbadji]

Thanks, but I'm steal sleeping

My Python installation is 2.5:

Code: Select all

prompt> python -V
Python 2.5


but blender (version 2.45) said is compiled with 2.3.5

Code: Select all

/Applications/blender-2.45-darwin-8.10.1-i386/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender
Compiled with Python version 2.3.5.
Checking for installed Python... got it!

Blender quit


and I don't found the option you speak about (it's there I'm thinking I'm sleeping and I haven't time to search on the blender site web, I have to go to work, I will search during my "lunch break" or this evening):

Code: Select all

/Applications/blender-2.45-darwin-8.10.1-i386/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender -h

Sorry Chacal, I haven't see your answer. Thanks for it.
See you latter.

[D'Lanor]

Try removing the compiled *.pyc files from the Blender .scripts directory. Leave all the *.py files in there. They will be recompiled using your current Python version upon first use.

[Gbadji]

Thanks D'Lanor, I tried, it didn't worked .

But, i found an other solution and I'm happy to say that I can follow the step 2 of the tutorial .

What I did ? I install blender again but choosing the right version here (I take the one with Python 2.5, having this python version installed is not enough!).
Of course without forgetting to copy again PyPRP files in the blender script folder with the yaml folder, the Crypto folder and the PIL folder .

I haven't play all the tutorial yet, so I can't say everything is ok but I can continue .

May I suggest a note for noobies in the GoW wiki?

Well, thanks again and see you soon for the next question.

[Gbadji]

Hi,

I'm back with the same question .

I have installed the GoW_pyPRP 1.5 so I installed Python 2.6.2 and get the last version of blender 2.49b but, for Mac it's compile with python 2.5.
So I have the same message: lib image is not found.

Do you know if blender 2.49 exist for Mac Os and python 2.6 ?

Thanks

[Paradox]

If Blender is compiled with Python 2.5, then you should be able to use Python 2.5.

Don't worry about Python 2.6.

[Gbadji]

Thanks Paradox, but I still have the problem. I tried in the first time with python 2.5.4 without success. I install python 2.5.1 without success too.

This is the traceback when I try to export an age:

Code: Select all

Blender quit
$ python -V
Python 2.5.1
$


Something strange :
exporting an age is working with Blender 2.47, Python 2.5.1 and the script folder located in the 2.49B installation (/Applications/blender-2.49b-OSX-10.5-py2.5-intel/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/ so using PyPRP 1.5).

Code: Select all

Compiled with Python version 2.5.1.

I don't want to become crazy, so can I use Blender 2.47 or Blender 2.49b is mandatory for some features of PyPRP 1.5 ?

(EDIT) Next time I will read others post befor ask my question (like viewtopic.php?f=59&t=3186 ). I installed Blender 2.49 and Python 2.5.1 and export age is working.

Thanks for your help.

For what it's worth, Mac OS X 10.5 comes with Python 2.5, so there is no need to install another one. You just need to make sure that when you have multiple Python installations (e.g. the system-provided one in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and a third-party one in /Library or /usr/local or the like), you install PyYAML and PIL into the same one as is used by Blender. See also this thread.
