Import Error

[swasheck]

Hi. Thanks for your work on this project. I'm probably doing something wrong here so feel free to let me know where I've missed something. Here are my steps:

virtualenv test_tika
cd test_tika
source bin/activate
pip install git+git://github.com/aptivate/jcc.git
pip install git+git://github.com/aptivate/python-tika.git

Up until this point I have no problems.

then:

python

import tika

renders :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/{PATH}/test_tika/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tika/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    import os, _tika
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_tika)

This is on Arch Linux - 3.3.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64

Python 2.7.3

Where you able to resolve this issue? I'm getting the same error. I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

I ran into this, too on Fedora 17 (kernel 3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64) with Python 2.7.3 and Java 1.7.0 .

@mlambir have a look at the pull request I referenced, it fixes this issue for me.

@Bengt, thanks for putting that repo together. However, I'm using the branch from your repo, but also get the exact same error as above.

>>> import tika
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/jjasinski/Sites/testhaystack/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tika-1.1-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/tika/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    import os, _tika
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_tika)

For some more information on my development environment, if it will help:

Python Version: Python 2.7.3 OS Version: Ubuntu Quantal JCC Setup: JCC_JDK="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/"

Confirm JCC is installed

>>> import jcc
>>> jcc
<module 'jcc' from '/home/jjasinski/Sites/testhaystack/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jcc/__init__.pyc'>
>>> jcc.CLASSPATH
'/home/jjasinski/Sites/testhaystack/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jcc/classes'
