No module named configobj error with debian patched bzr-2.3.0

[Gary van der Merwe]

In then debian bzr-2.3.0 package, bzrlib.util.configobj is removed with a patch. The qbzr debian package is patched to rather use pythons configobj, but if you install qbzr from source, it will show this error when you run it:

bzr: ERROR: No module named configobj
You may need to install this Python library separately.

We should try import the python configobj first, and only use the bzrlib copy as a fall back.

I disagree. We should try to import copy from bzrlib first and only if it fails then use modules from python.

For what reason? (Asking because I don't have a full understanding myself.)

For the consistency with bzrlib.

original bzrlib/config.py only tries to import as:

from bzrlib.util.configobj import configobj

Importing python-wide library first you potentially get versions
mismatch for non-patched bzr.

Gary, your fix completelly broke qbzr + bzr.exe. After pulling lp:qbzr/0.20 I've got:

C:\work\Bazaar\plugins\qbzr>bzr qlog
bzr: ERROR: No module named configobj
You may need to install this Python library separately.

Huh?

Version 1.1.2 Bazaar Explorer

Qbzr 0.20.0

bzrlib 2.4b1

PyQt 4.7.2

You need either qbzr 0.20.1 then or using qbzr from trunk (branch lp:qbzr).

Well i figured the problem started when i used the beta ppa and not the daily one. so if we stick to the beta ppa, the bug exists. And hence the reason for reporting it :)!

As much as getting the new package fixes the problem, its an issue that the package is not in the same ppa as the other 'good' ones...

Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately I'm not in charge of PPA
job, so I can't comment on this. The bug is already fixed in qbzr
upstream, I think it's matter of time when the fix will appear in PPA-ed
version.

Have a nice day
