Hi all,
I just want to write a py program using ElementTree to parse my config file.
My code is like this:
Code:

import sys
import os
from xml.etree import ElementTree as et


def test():
  Xmlcfg = et.ElementTree(file = 'test.xml').getroot()
  name = Xmlcfg.find('aa').text
  return 1

if __name__ == "__main__":
   ret = test()
   sys.exit(ret)


But when i run it, the Python reported this error:
Code:

oppo@localhost ~ $ python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 15, in <module>
    ret = test()
  File "test.py", line 10, in test
    Xmlcfg = et.ElementTree(file = 'test.xml').getroot()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 611, in __init__
    self.parse(file)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 651, in parse
    parser = XMLParser(target=TreeBuilder())
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1466, in __init__
    "No module named expat; use SimpleXMLTreeBuilder instead"
ImportError: No module named expat; use SimpleXMLTreeBuilder instead


Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks!

This may be useful infomation for you to help me.

localhost ~ # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7 *
[2] python3.2

When I use python 3.2 to run this script, it's Ok.
This is what I've tried to located the expat module:
Code:

localhost ~ # find . /usr/lib64/python2.7/  -iname 'expat*'
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/sax/expatreader.pyo
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/sax/expatreader.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/sax/expatreader.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/parsers/expat.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/parsers/expat.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/parsers/expat.pyo
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/dom/expatbuilder.pyo
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/dom/expatbuilder.pyc

localhost ~ # find . /usr/lib64/python3.2/  -iname 'expat*'
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/sax/expatreader.py
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/sax/__pycache__/expatreader.cpython-32.pyc
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/sax/__pycache__/expatreader.cpython-32.pyo
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/parsers/expat.py
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/parsers/__pycache__/expat.cpython-32.pyc
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/parsers/__pycache__/expat.cpython-32.pyo
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/dom/__pycache__/expatbuilder.cpython-32.pyo
/usr/lib64/python3.2/xml/dom/__pycache__/expatbuilder.cpython-32.pyc

localhost ~ # cat /usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/parsers/expat.py
"""Interface to the Expat non-validating XML parser."""
__version__ = '$Revision: 17640 $'

from pyexpat import *

localhost ~ # find . /usr/lib64/python2.7/  -iname 'pyexpat*'

localhost ~ # find . /usr/lib64/python3.2/  -iname 'pyexpat*'
/usr/lib64/python3.2/lib-dynload/pyexpat.cpython-32.so



I Can't find any lib named pyexpat, but from python3.2 it's there. Is that the reason for my issue?


My Method of resolving:
1. delete build in my global USE(make.conf) and make other change of it.
2. emerge --update --deep --newuse world
3. emerge --depclean
4. revdep-rebuild

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

These files are like this:
localhost ~ # ls -lh /usr/lib*/python*/xml/parsers/expat.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 114 Apr 16 23:56 /usr/lib/python2.7/xml/parsers/expat.py

I was using Python 2.7 as the interpreter.
Just create a python script, name test.py. Then run it by this shell command:
Code:

python test.py


Do I understand what you mean?
If not, please let me know.

Thanks.

I was running it in a VMware machine and I gave it about 1000M memory and 2 cpu cores.
