ANother problem I see is that
the omniidl error messages do not clear.
any clues?

i.e I delete all my shells and just
type omniidl at the dos prompt. It gives
me back the old error. 

C:\omniorb\omni\bin\x86_win32>omniidl.exe
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "c:\Python22\Lib\os.py", line 38
    return [n for n in dir(module) if n[0] != '_']
                ^

backends for ethereal


Hello,
I added PYTHONPATH to my path. I am using Windows 2k
and running Cygnus. I get syntax errors.

I am also using Python22 distribution. Is this the right
version..

 omniidl -p ./ -b ethereal_be GlobalDefs.idl
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "c:\Python22\Lib\os.py", line 38
    return [n for n in dir(module) if n[0] != '
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

My directory under Python22 has this:

My directoryC:\Python22\Lib>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 18E5-924C

Hmm. locate tempfile.py gives

/usr/lib/python1.5/tempfile.py
/usr/lib/python1.5/tempfile.pyc
/usr/lib/python1.5/tempfile.pyo
/usr/lib/python2.2/tempfile.py
/usr/lib/python2.2/tempfile.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.2/tempfile.pyo

on my linux box.

And cat tempfile.py shows

def TemporaryFile(mode='w+b', bufsize=-1, suffix=""):

So at least they are there on my system, and I have not
done anything special to load extra modules etc..


Are you sure that you have set PYTHONPATH to something
like /usr/lib/python1.5/

And that ethereal_*.py is either in the current directory
or in $PYTHONPATH/site-packages

OR as Bernd,suggested, do you really have a full python installation
or a partial one.

The latter may be the case if you cannot find tempfile.py
