Tracking the source of the Python exception, it seems that the code in __win32_finddll(): fails to find the Registry key.

Using Regedit, there is a key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GPL Ghostscript\9.26 with two entries GS_DLL: C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.26\bin\gsdll64.dll and GS_LIB - C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.26\bin;C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.26\lib;C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.26\fonts

The statement QueryInfoKey(k1) returns (in _gsprint.py) (0, 0, 131955508546095202L), thus range(0,0) is [] and the loop fails, so the function returns None.

Any suggestions? Thanks, --Rafi

vinayak-mehta commented 5 years ago

Did you try the solutions mentioned in #184?

rafiepstein commented 5 years ago

Hello Vinayak, I am not sure what you mean by "solution mentioned"... As far as I could tell, no solution relevant to Windows environment is mentioned. Ghoscript is installed as per the test suggested. PATH is setup correctly. The problem seems to be in _gsprint.py, line: for num in range(0, QueryInfoKey(k1)[0]): as QueryInfoKey(k1) (0, 0, 131955739057984515L) thus range(0, QueryInfoKey(k1)[0]) is empty, and it doesn not find the dll.

Any suggestions?

I have the same issue with the standalone version of Ghostscript (install version is not allowed due to the IT policy in my company). I had set the bin and lib directories of the Ghostscript (standalone) in PATH but Camelot is still trying to find the Ghostscript from the Windows registry.

I currently don't have a Windows machine to reproduce this, let me install it on my current laptop. I believe we should just try to get rid of ghostscript with #96.

macOS - brew install ghostscript - still get this error

lswh commented 5 years ago

Hi this error also exists for me.

lswh commented 5 years ago

I was investigating this code earlier and I noticed for my macOS implementation that it's having some issue with the conditional of libgs.so file which produces the runtime error. I tried working on both virtualenv and conda but I also suspect that the find_library cdll is not working in it somewhere. It does not detect the GhostScript even when I installed from source and did a make so compiled install because that file extension for MacOS is a different one from shared object on Linux. I presume this bug does not happen on Ubuntu/Linux and can only be observed in Windows and MacOS. I will try on a Linux machine and see if I am able to detect the same bug.

Some hack:

Looking at sources: https://github.com/atlanhq/camelot/blob/9137df2f6c6acb2fdaef9256ac42bf11f6afd99e/camelot/ext/ghostscript/_gsprint.py#L223

My guess is that downloading : https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html install some HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE aka GS_DLL which solved the problem.

For ones who cannot add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, add it to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\key_name\GS_DLL\GS_DLL GS_DLL is a REG_SZ containing dll path.

Choose key_name in "AFPL Ghostscript", "Aladdin Ghostscript", "GNU Ghostscript", "GPL Ghostscript",

Also import HKEY_CURRENT_USER here https://github.com/atlanhq/camelot/blob/9137df2f6c6acb2fdaef9256ac42bf11f6afd99e/camelot/ext/ghostscript/_gsprint.py#L192

For some reason, ctypes.util.find_library is not finding my installation of GS (installed via conda), but distutils.spawn.find_executable manages to find the path to the executable, and passing this path to cdll.LoadLibrary worked fine for me.

aburkh commented 4 years ago

In my case, I don't have admin rights on the laptop I'm working. I installed ghostscript without admin in a user folder, then monkey patched the code to point directly to the library.

https://github.com/atlanhq/camelot/blob/master/camelot/ext/ghostscript/_gsprint.py

#    libgs = __win32_finddll()
    libgs = r'C:\Users\myusername\gs9.50\bin\gsdll64.dll'

Works like a charm! Now, it's not a generic solution. It would probably be best to search for the dll in the PATH rather than in the registry.

mgrazianoc commented 4 years ago

Even after trying everything on here, I've just gave up on the library. Shame, I was with really good expetations from it.

Hi,

I am facing the same issue, in conda environment, Ghostscript and Camelot is installed from conda-forge for window10 environment. This ghostcript conda installation does not create the HKEY local machine registry. And Camelot Ghostscript is looking for the HKEY LOCAL MACHINE REGISTRY. I think this is a bug...to whom this should be addressed? CONDA , CAMELOT, PYTHON? ;)

pkaluski commented 4 years ago

Hi, I had the same problem. It did some investigation and here are my observations for Window10 professional: -> Quick and clean solution - have all the stuff (python, ghostscript) installed as 64bit versions on 64 bit machine

If this is not an option, I don't know how to solve it, but I can give you some hints. The place of problem is here: Python38\Lib\site-packages\camelot\ext\ghostscript_gsprint.py.

Look at this code:

    for key_name in (
        "AFPL Ghostscript",
        "Aladdin Ghostscript",
        "GNU Ghostscript",
        "GPL Ghostscript",
    ):
        try:
            k1 = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\%s" % key_name)
            for num in range(0, QueryInfoKey(k1)[0]):
                version = EnumKey(k1, num)
                try:

In 32bit python, OpenKey does not see the key for GhostScript 64bits. The reason is displayed here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30932831/winreg-openkey-throws-filenotfound-error-for-existing-registry-keys. If you install the 32 bit GhostScript, then the keys are not in the registry. If you hardcode the path to a dll and run it, you will have memory violation. This where I have given up.

You might try installing 32 bit python, 64 bit GhostScript and use advice from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30932831/winreg-openkey-throws-filenotfound-error-for-existing-registry-keys to have the code read the right registry keys. Maybe it will work. However, the code looks like calling a dll. So the situation would be that 32 bit python calls a 64 bit library. I am not saying it is not going to work. I am just pointing the difference.

So for me, it looks like the software was developed and tested on everything being 64 bits. It probably does not support a mixture of bitness.

I am using 64 bit Windows 10 machine.. For a version of python 64 bit ,and the gsdll64.dll (gs 64 bit) the Camelot is working fine ,but when we using a python 32 bit , In ,(_gsprint.py) file in the below line is not executing . is k1 = OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\%s" % key_name) Switch to a 64 bit version python solves my problem. Please give the solution for 32 bit version of Python.

I am experiencing the same issue when I am trying to use it on a binder that I use in one of my courses. I checked and ghostscript is installed.

So in principle it should be able to find it on the path. I installed GS via conda.

Strangely I do not have this issue on my Mac with the same environment, where I had GS installed via homebrew.

tested using @fmassa's solution and the mybinder VM is able to find the library. I can't really change the line since I do not have editing access to that and would need to change the line every time I update. Nonetheless, running those lines provides the same libgs object.

To see this, on my Mac I get

On Binder

I wonder if using that would solve it generally. Any reason it hasn't been suggested in a PR?
