Fireplay plugin is not getting loaded due to failure: No module named distutils

[whimboo]

Failure when loading the plugin in sublime:

Reloading plugin /home/henrik/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/fireplay/fireplay.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 62, in reload_plugin File "./fireplay.py", line 16, in from fireplaylib import firefox_helper File "./fireplaylib/firefox_helper.py", line 1, in import mozrunner File "./fireplaylib/mozrunner/init.py", line 20, in from distutils import dir_util ImportError: No module named distutils

interesting. I haven't seen this error yet. Can you send us your sublime version.

Mozrunner is actually not used for the FF disabled version. This is an interesting problem here

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 with Sublime Text 2 installed:

$ dpkg -l | grep sublime ii sublime-text 2.0.2-1~webupd8~3 all Sublime Text 2

Not sure if I wrongly set this up. I tried to best follow the steps as I could.

can you try to install distutils? I may assume that it is already installed in mac, here I got no error like that. But at the moment we are not using mozrunner, so I might even cut that off (cutting off a part of Firefox Desktop support, @sole?)

distutils is installed:

import distutils distutils.file '/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/init.pyc'

[nicola]

Nope. You installed it for your python, not sublime one, (using 2.6).

Can you try to open the console in sublime and type import distutils? — Typed with hands

You are right. Sublime seems to use its own Python installation at './lib/python26.zip'. So how would I have to install distutils inside of sublime?

[nicola]

You have to install distutils with a python6 and in the python6 path!

I think I will just try to cut this reference — Typed with hands

Nope. That location already has distutils too. So sublime might use another path, or only supports packages inside the zip archive?
