Amara (XML) problem on Solaris

[Doru-Catalin Togea]

Hi!

I have ActiveState Python 2.4.1 on Win XP Pro, with Amara 1.1.6. I have a
script which works fine.

I am trying to run the same script on a Solaris machine, with Python 2.4.2
and Amara 1.1.6. It gives me this error:

bash-2.03$ python generateXML.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generateXML.py", line 16, in ?
doc = amara.create_document()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'create_document'
bash-2.03$

Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks,
Catalin

I would say it's a problem with the Amara installation on Solaris. I've
never used it, but maybe it's a package from another source which acts a
bit differently.

Also, are you sure the code is correct? I've taken a peek at the Amara's
website, and the create_document() function seems to lie within the
binderytools module. I think the line should look like:

doc = amara.binderytools.create_document()

or

doc = binderytools.create_document()

or simply

create_document()

depending on the way you imported the module, but your previous code, if
really working on Windows, makes me think you did something like:

import amara.binderytools as amara

or something like that?
Please post some more code, if you can.

This is a simple test:

import amara

doc = amara.create_document()
doc.xml_append(doc.xml_create_element(u"units"))

print "OK"

On Windows XP Pro it runs like this:

C:\owera\test\xaps2-test>python amara-test1.py
OK

C:\owera\test\xaps2-test>

On Solaris it runs like this:

bash-2.03$ python amara-test1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "amara-test1.py", line 3, in ?
doc = amara.create_document()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'create_document'
bash-2.03$

This came up when I was on vacation and incommunicado. What version of
Amara are you using on both platforms? How did you install them?

Thanks.
