Trying to import returns traceback error

Problem

Trying to import returns traceback error (beet imp -t "{albumFile}")

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv (... paste here ...)

Led to this problem:

Here's a link to the music files that trigger the bug (if relevant):

Do you think you could fill in the necessary sections of the issue? More specifically the beet config section, as it looks like it's related to your discogs token.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

sorry, updated.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

i have my discogs_token.json in my config file

[jackwilsdon]

Take a look at #1949, primarily #1949 (comment).

[thedevilisinthedetails]

Works but i get this error before the candidates appears

[jackwilsdon]

Take a look at #1949 (comment).

You'll want to run this to install all of the dependencies:

pip install -U beets[fetchart,discogs,import]

[thedevilisinthedetails]

did that now I'm getting

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/beet", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

    raise DistributionNotFound(req)

i try to update musicbrainzngs but i guess I'm already updated

[jackwilsdon]

Hmm, there is something weird going on with your system. I'm on OS X 10.11.4 and I can just install beets from scratch fine with pip install beets.

What's the output from pip install -U musicbrainzngs?

[thedevilisinthedetails]

I agree.

Requirement already up-to-date: musicbrainzngs in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

[jackwilsdon]

Oh dear, it seems you're using python from OS X and pip from brew! That sounds like a right mess 😆.

Could you run these and provide the output?

which python

which pip

brew list

[thedevilisinthedetails]

ah can't recall when and why i would install brew on this machine. but seems you're right:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

/usr/local/bin/pip

gdbm openssl pkg-config python readline sqlite

[jackwilsdon]

Interesting how python is already installed via brew, yet your shell is still pulling it from /Library/Frameworks. Could you try this?

brew link python

And if that fails saying it is already linked, try this:

brew unlink python && brew link python

And finally re-run the commands from my previous comment.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

/usr/local/bin/pip

gdbm openssl pkg-config python readline sqlite

[jackwilsdon]

Try this:

echo $PATH

It seems that the python for brew is not being added to your PATH.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

[jackwilsdon]

That's very odd! Have you added the python framework to your PATH yourself? What are the contents of your .bashrc in your home folder?

[thedevilisinthedetails]

. not that i recall. I don't have that file bash file

[jackwilsdon]

Could you run this command in your home directory?

ls -d .[!.]*

[thedevilisinthedetails]

.CFUserTextEncoding .Trash .bash_profile .distlib .oracle_jre_usage .ssh .DS_Store .adobe .config .dropbox .pia_manager .viminfo .SoulseekQt .bash_history .cups .lyrics .pia_manager_crash.log

[jackwilsdon]

What are the contents of your .bash_profile? I suspect it contains a line adding the OS X python binaries to your PATH.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

yup, PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"

[jackwilsdon]

Just comment that line out by adding # to the start. Not entirely sure why it was there in the first place!

[thedevilisinthedetails]

done. should this actually use my default python on my OS X?

[jackwilsdon]

I'd say it's better to use the brew one, The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python puts it well:

The latest version of Mac OS X, El Capitan, comes with Python 2.7 out of the box.

You do not need to install or configure anything else to use Python. Having said that, I would strongly recommend that you install the tools and libraries described in the next section before you start building Python applications for real-world use.

...

The version of Python that ships with OS X is great for learning but it’s not good for development. The version shipped with OS X may be out of date from the official current Python release, which is considered the stable production version.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

k. so now i get this for which python.

/usr/local/bin/python

/usr/local/bin/pip

gdbm        openssl     pkg-config  python      readline    sqlite

tried to update musicbrainzngs and i still get the error

[jackwilsdon]

Try uninstalling it with pip uninstall musicbrainzngs and then reinstalling it.

May need @sampsyo on this one because I'm running out of ideas 😆.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

Did and same issue:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/beet", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 2793, in <module> working_set.require(__requires__) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 673, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 576, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: musicbrainzngs>=0.4

Thanks a ton for your help though, really appreciate it:). Guess will wait for @sampsyo to comment.

[jackwilsdon]

It's still using the wrong python! Have you closed and reopened your terminal?

[thedevilisinthedetails]

yup.

[jackwilsdon]

Very strange, what's the output of echo $PATH now?

[thedevilisinthedetails]

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

[jackwilsdon]

Well now I have no idea! Final possibility, uninstall beets completely and reinstall.

pip uninstall beets

pip install beets

For some reason it looks like /usr/local/bin/beet is pulling in the /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 version of Python instead of the brew one located in /usr/local, crazy! Hoping reinstalling will set it straight.

[thedevilisinthedetails]

works! thanks so much for your troubles!!

[jackwilsdon]

Success! I'll close up this issue 😁.
