[Solved] Reportlab On Tommy

[eleteyel]

Hi!

I am outputting some pdf reports in my django app with reportlab. I think that at the moment this module is not installed on Tommy, Is there anyway to install it?

 

Thanks for your help.

When Krydos sees this post he will add it, just for reference what server and python version are you using?

[Krydos]

It's not reference. We have seven different versions of python on three different servers. Knowing which one they are actually using is important.

Thanks for your quick reply. I a m on a Tommy server, my primary domain is hal9000.heliohost.org (shared ip 65.19.143.6

). I guess my python version in 3.6 but I am not sure how to actually check it.

 

If you need more info just tell me how to check it.

 

Thanks again

Thanks for installing it. Unfortunately it throws and error (see end of the message). It seems it is a known bug from reportlab:

 

https://bitbucket.org/rptlab/reportlab/issues/114/cant-import-reportlab-without-home

 

and the solution:

https://bitbucket.org/rptlab/reportlab/commits/fa1c8635929ea5d32c475638514fe8d7582194fd

 

it seems that getting the source from bitbucket will solve the issue.
