The Transporter module '%s' was found, but its Transporter class '%s' could not be found.

I'm getting the following error when trying to run arbitrator.py:

[root@www1 fileconveyor]# python arbitrator.py

My config is as follows:

The cloudfiles.pyc file is being created but I'm guessing File Conveyor can't find it?

Any update on this? I am getting the same error.

module.TRANSPORTER_CLASS does not exist, resulting in an exception BEFORE the variable classname gets assigned.

Since your transporter is 'cloudfiles' one would expect fileconveyor/fileconveyor/transporters/transporter_cloudfiles.py to be used (which defines TRANSPORTER_CLASS = "TransporterCloudFiles")

I expect that TRANSPORTER_CLASS is not available outside the module definition OR the wrong transporter_cloudfiles.py is loaded

Finally I solved this by running

pip install django-cumulus==1.0.10

as suggested in Issue 161
