@yyzhuang reports that the version of
seashshipped with Sensibility Testbed (i.e. not the one in the current production demokit) fails trying to look up the locations of vessels:Raising the exception (rather than silencing it so as to print "Location unknown") in https://github.com/SeattleTestbed/seash/blob/master/modules/geoip/__init__.py#L52 , we learn that
The obvious fix, changing https://github.com/SeattleTestbed/seash/blob/master/modules/geoip/__init__.py#L18 to
from repyportability import *and thus make thegethostbynamecall available does not fix the problem: Then,httpretrieve.r2pycauses aTimeoutErrorin thegeoip_client.r2pylibrary. Thehttpretrieveproblem is currently under investigation in https://github.com/aaaaalbert/seattlelib_v2/tree/fix-httpretrieve .Task: Try the (presumably) fixed version of
httpretrievewith the fix tomodules/geoip/__init__.pydescribed above, and see what happens.
