Import daemon fails #6

Closed bill7979 closed 8 years ago

bill7979 commented 8 years ago

I am new at this but really like the idea behind this so I am trying to get it up and running. I am seeing a failure in Line 5 ImportError: No module named Daemon Have I not installed a requirement for this to run? Please let me know or if you have a step by step somewhere that would be great. I am putting the steps together as I go and will be happy to share what I have once I get it working.

Hey @bill7979 - I forked this repo and added a few additions like a requirements.txt file to use with virtualenv and Twilio (SMS) support. Checkout the requirements.txt file here: https://github.com/tannerhearne/speedcomplainer/blob/master/requirements.txt

Thanks Tanner, issue is resolved. One small suggestion is the Requirements.txt file be updated to include python-twitter as I just installed twitter and got an API Module issue. Thanks again for your help.

Ah! I've been having the same issue @bill7979 - thanks for pointing that out!

Could I ask a really stupid question? I don't know python at all, but want to run the script.

I see from the requirements document, I need to install the daemon module - how do I actually do that?

Thanks

For those unaware of how to fix this:

  1. Head to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/ in a browser and copy the link to the download for this module. Then, on the pi, download it with wget followed by the link you copied.
  2. Once downloaded, extract with tar -zxvf followed by the name of the downloaded file.
  3. Now cd into the extracted module directory and run python setup install

Once installed, it should work, but you may have to install other modules (like twitter) in a similar fashion.
