Broken Plugin when loading to V2.2.0

[suttonp1]

Hi,

When I try to load the Contour Plugin I get the following message:

The Plugin is broken. Python said: ascii

I don't have many other plugins installed, and I used to use this plugin on older versions of QGIS. Any ideas where the interference is coming from?

Same issue upgrading to V2.4.0...

Hi

Just seen this - I'm having problems losing messages from github so not getting notifications of new issues. Sorry for the lack of responsiveness.

Not a useful error message. This is certainly running for me on 2.4 (and 2.2, 2.5 current build). My best guess is that it is to do with file encoding of the plugin (ASCII vs UTF8). Can you provide information about the platform, etc that you are trying to load the plugin on please.

I'm running QGIS V2.4.0 as well.

I have a Dell PC (new in the last year - so it should be too buggered up yet) and Windows 7 Professional.

Thanks

Hmmm .. there is something special about your installation!!! Not sure how much I'll be able to help.

How did you install QGIS? I'm wondering about whether it is picking up something from another python installation? A couple of bits of information that could be useful:

1) Could you provide the contents of QGIS Help | About dialog which details the software components used by QGIS.

2) In the QGIS python console could you type

import sys; print "\n".join(sys.path)

and send the resulting list of python paths.

Thanks Chris

Absolutely - I'm on travel with spotty email so sorry for delay too!

I'm using Windows 7 -64-bit with administrator privileges. I have tried installing under "regular" QGIS loading - and opening QGIS under "run as administrator" privilege. There is another plugin called MOLUSCE which causes the same error after installation. I found it researching the python error. Never programmed in python so I'm unsure how to troubleshoot....

Thanks! Tom

Could you just confirm how you installed QGIS

1) Standalone installer or OSGEO4W

2) 32 bit or 64 bit installation

I'll try and set up a test installation to see if I can replicate the issue

Thanks Chris

[suttonp1]

I was going to say the 64 bit standalone installer, but I see the application file name on my computer is QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.4.0-1-Setup-x86_64, which seems to suggest it’s the OSGEO4W installation.

Thanks. That is the standalone installer. Probably you would get the same result with the OSGEO installer (the difference is that it installs an installer from which you can select which components of the open source geospatial stack you want). This is what I need - I'll see if I can replicate.

Responded earlier to email - now I see the thread (sorry - thought it was addressed to me no cc. Didn't mean to hijack). If this helps, same issue for me. Stand-alone 64-bit installation on Win64:

@tboydva All information is good to have! And I really appreciate you adding to this issue rather than starting a new one.

[ccrook]

@tboydva @suttonp1 Just FYI if you need to get around this problem the 32 bit version of QGIS seems more reliable, particularly around the python integration. So unless you have a reason for using the 64 bit version (not sure what that could be) then replacing with the 32 bit version may be a good option.

[suttonp1]

Thanks! I’ll try loading the 32 bit version next time.
