ImportError: No module named middleware.auth_token

[gxfuntu]

I followed the document "OpenStack Install and Deploy Manual" to install Keystone and Swift.
When I tried to start Swift proxy service with command "swift-init proxy start",
the error "ImportError: No module named middleware.auth_token" showed up.

After trapping in this issue a few days with several times do-over, I found out where the problem is.
It seems like the folder "middleware" in "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keystoneclient/" is missing,
when use "apt-get install python-keystoneclient" to install the keystoneclient in Ubuntu.

I found the "middleware" folder in "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keystone/".
After copy the the "middleware" folder from "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keystone/" to "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keystoneclient/", the Swift proxy service works find now.

auth_token has been moved from keystone.middleware.auth_token to keystoneclient.middleware.auth_token

The docs you're referring to (2013.1 / grizzly?) appear to be ahead of the version of keystone you're trying to install (2012.2 / folsom?).

I know auth_token has been moved.
The problem is, there is no auth_token in keystoneclient which I installed by "apt-get install python-keystoneclient" in Ubuntu.
The version of keystoneclient is "1:0.1.3-0ubuntu1.1".
I think the keystoneclient in Ubuntu repository should update.

Agree; I assume python-keystoneclient will be revised as part of the grizzly series of package updates, but moving this bug just to be sure.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi,

I same this error message and I can't install Keystone.

I had the same issue and after installing the keystoneclient it started worked. I checked and the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keystoneclient/middleware directory was installed with it.
