Non availability of prerequisite python vboxapi package for safplus_rpm_deb_gen.py. #169

Open vnpraveendesu opened 8 years ago

vnpraveendesu commented 8 years ago

Hi All, safplus_rpm_deb_gen.py uses a python package "pyvbox" for launching the virtual machine from virtualbox. pyvbox package internally uses a vboxapi package provided by oracle and it is not avialble on the https://pypi.python.org/pypi/. I have raised an issue in the https://github.com/mjdorma/pyvbox/issues/43 about the non availability of the vboxapi package.

Hi Pranveen,

Thanks for sharing info. However, I did not get any issue if using: $easy_install pyvbox

Regards, Hoang

Hi Hoangle, When you try to import the virtualbox module provided by pyvbox package throws a. "vboxapi" module not found. Installing the vboxapi package using pip throws the below error "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement vboxapi (from versions)" ,

hoangle commented 8 years ago

Yes, then I used below command to install: $sudo easy_install vbox pyvbox

vnpraveendesu commented 8 years ago

Hi Hoangle,

Thanks for your help. Python packages vbox and vboxapi are different. "vbox" package provides complete cli bindings for controlling the Oracle Virtualbox. "vboxapi" package provides constants used by Oracle Virtualbox and it is used by pyvbox package. I am keeping this issue in open state.

Thanks & Regards, Praveen.

Has anybody found a solution to that problem?

Xyon commented 7 years ago

In case people like me, who are coming here from Google, are still having this issue - vboxapi.py is part of the Virtualbox SDK, which I was able to install from my package manager (Arch linux). That adds it to your Python (2) site-packages.

vnpraveendesu commented 7 years ago

Previously, vboxapi.py is available as a part of the python package Index and easily install it using pip install vboxapi.
vboxapi package is no longer available in the python package Index. vboxapi.py is part of Virtualbox sdk. you need to install from the source code.
