ImportError: No module named libavg

[Tero Karvinen]

Binary package hint: python-libavg

LibAvg can't be imported, so it can't be used at all.

$ sudo aptitude install python-libavg
$ python -c "import libavg"
... ImportError: No module named libavg

$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/pycentral/python-libavg/site-packages/libavg python -c "import libavg"
... ImportError: No module named libavg
$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libavg/ python -c "import libavg"
... ImportError: No module named libavg

I also tried following "Getting Started" from Libavg Wiki to the letter, and the troubleshooting instructions for importerror. https://www.libavg.de/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started

Try importing avg instead of libavg:

$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 5 2007, 13:50:07)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import avg
>>> avg
<module 'avg' from '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libavg/avg.so'>
>>>

Thanks Michael, "import avg" seems to work.

Someday I could register to libavg wiki and add this info to Getting Started.

Minimal.py from "Getting started" still dumps core, but it's probably a different problem.
