Hello,
I added PYTHONPATH to my path. I am using Windows 2k
and running Cygnus. I get syntax errors.
I am also using Python22 distribution. Is this the right
version..
omniidl -p ./ -b ethereal_be GlobalDefs.idl
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
File "c:\Python22\Lib\os.py", line 38
return [n for n in dir(module) if n[0] != '
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
My directory under Python22 has this:
My directoryC:\Python22\Lib>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.

Hmm. locate tempfile.py gives
/usr/lib/python1.5/tempfile.py
/usr/lib/python1.5/tempfile.pyc
/usr/lib/python1.5/tempfile.pyo
/usr/lib/python2.2/tempfile.py
/usr/lib/python2.2/tempfile.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.2/tempfile.pyo
on my linux box.
And cat tempfile.py shows
def TemporaryFile(mode='w+b', bufsize=-1, suffix=""):
So at least they are there on my system, and I have not
done anything special to load extra modules etc..
Are you sure that you have set PYTHONPATH to something
like /usr/lib/python1.5/
And that ethereal_*.py is either in the current directory
or in $PYTHONPATH/site-packages
OR as Bernd,suggested, do you really have a full python installation
or a partial one.
The latter may be the case if you cannot find tempfile.py
