Re: dogtail Problem in Dogtail installation

[William S Carter <wscarter us ibm com>]

We install dogtail on our Fedora Core
6 systems with no problem. Make sure
you have all these packages.

$ rpm -q at-spi python python-elementtree
rpm-python pyspi ImageMagick

If you don't have some of them you can;
$ su -c "yum install <packagenames>"

Use yum for pyspi, no need to download,
build, and install it by hand. I don't 
appear to have pyrex on my system so
it must not be neccessary.

I recommend you extract dogtail from
CVS rather than downloading it from
their website. This insures you have
the latest code.

$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome;
$ cvs co dogtail

and then...

$ cd dogtail
$ su -c "./setup.py install --prefix=/usr"

You need to be sure you have the PYTHONPATH
initialized with the pathname
where the dogtail modules can be found,
for us this is like so;

export PYTHONPATH='/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages'

You should see a dogtail subdirectory
in your PYTHONPATH directory. This allows
Python to find the dogtail modules.

Once you have it installed and running,
maybe you can help me encourage the
developers to get dogtail-recorder working
in FC6. :)

Dear Guys,
I introduce my self, my name is Sankar. I need your help to use Dogtail.

I am using Fedora Core 6. I am new to Fedora. When i installed  Fedora,
I included AT-SPI,Python and ImageMagic package. 

I downloaded pyspi-0.6.1 and dogtail-0.6.1 from your website.

I could not find how to install the pyspi-0.6.1.

But i use the following command to install. I got the following error.

[root Success pyspi-0.6.1]# python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 12, in ?
    raise ImportError, inst
ImportError: No module named Pyrex.Distutils
[root Success pyspi-0.6.1]# 


After then i installed Dogtail-0.6.0 using the following command. 
# ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

It installed Successfully.

After then i run the file "gedit-test-utf8-procedural-api
.py" from examples folder. 

I got the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gedit-test-utf8-procedural-api.py ", line 4, in
?
    from dogtail.config import config
ImportError: No module named dogtail.config

I know you are very busy. But please, help me fix the problem and to learn
how to use dogtail. Your help is very much appreciated.

Our company want to use Dogtail to test our product. So its an urgent task
for me. Please Help me. Thanks in advance.
