Requests-related ImportErrors on Debian-based distributions
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|

|

ImportError: No module named packages.urllib3.poolmanager

ImportError: cannot import name iter_field_objects

Debian has had its problems in the past with the Python requests package, see
|
|
:gh:`82` and :gh:`140`. You have several options for solving this problem:
|
|
|
|
- Set the ``auth`` parameter of :py:class:`vdirsyncer.storage.CaldavStorage`,
|
|
:py:class:`vdirsyncer.storage.CarddavStorage`, and/or
|
|
:py:class:`vdirsyncer.storage.HttpStorage` to ``basic`` or ``digest`` (not
|
|
``guess``).
|
|
|
|
- Upgrade your installation of the Debian requests package to at least version
|
|
``2.4.3-1``.
|
|
|
|
- If this doesn't help, install vdirsyncer in a virtualenv, see
|
|
:ref:`manual-installation`.

Manual installation
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
If your distribution doesn't provide a package for vdirsyncer, you still can
|
|
use Python's package manager "pip". First, you'll have to check that a
|
|
compatible version of Python (2.7+ or 3.3+) and the corresponding pip package
|
|
are installed. On Linux systems, using the distro's package manager is the best
|
|
way to do this.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to install vdirsyncer at this point would be to run::
|
|
|
|
pip install --user vdirsyncer
|
|
|
|
This method has a major flaw though: Pip doesn't keep track of the files it
|
|
installs. Vdirsyncer's files would be located somewhere in
|
|
``~/.local/lib/python*``, but you can't possibly know which packages were
|
|
installed as dependencies of vdirsyncer and which ones were not, should you
|
|
decide to uninstall it. In other words, using pip that way would pollute your
|
|
home directory.
|
|
|
|
But there is a way to install Python software without scattering stuff across
|
|
your filesystem: virtualenv_. There are a lot of resources on how to use it,
|
|
the simplest possible way would look something like::
|
|
|
|
virtualenv ~/vdirsyncer_env
|
|
~/vdirsyncer_env/bin/pip install vdirsyncer
|
|
alias vdirsyncer="~/vdirsyncer_env/bin/vdirsyncer
|
|
|
|
You'll have to put the last line into your ``.bashrc`` or ``.bash_profile``.
|
|
The main advantage is that you can delete the ``~/vdirsyncer_env`` folder to
|
|
uninstall vdirsyncer.
