Bug Description
Binary package hint: pypy-dev
On http://
there are instructions for using pypy, specifically:
> To start the interactive translator shell do:
> cd pypy
> python bin/translators
but when I do that, I get the following. It seems that some directory is in the
wrong place, or some search path is set wrong. I experimented a bit with
PYTHONPATH and with adding symbolic links, but I don't yet know enough about
where pypy stores things to fix the problem.
$ cd /usr/share/
$ python bin/translators
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin/translator
from pypy.translator
File "/usr/share/
from py.compat import optparse
File "/usr/share/
from pypy.tool import option
File "/usr/share/
from pypy.config.
File "/usr/share/
from pypy.config.config import OptionDescription, BoolOption, IntOption, ArbitraryOption
File "/usr/share/
from py.compat import optparse
ImportError: No module named compat
$
Similar problems if I run
$ pypy bin/translators
