Based on the filenames in the traceback you're certainly using code from Trac 0.9 or higher, not 0.8.4. My guess is that you just upgraded and left some of the old code behind which is causing problems. As suggested in the [wiki:TracUpgrade#UpdatetheTracCode upgrade documentation] you may want to delete the old Trac code and reinstall the new version.

I'm getting the same error and I just installed for the first time on this machine trac: 0.9.3. Platform: windows

Does the file "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\trac\log.py" exist?

[chis.florinel@…]

The file C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\trac\Log.py exists. Changed the name to log.py and now works...

I had a similar problem (case sensitivity) using MySQLDb. I'm not used with case sensitivity issues on windows.

Testing it: (Log.py)

>>> from trac.log import logger_factory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in ?
    from trac.log import logger_factory
ImportError: No module named log

renamed to log.py

>>> from trac.log import logger_factory
>>>

works fine.

I should have checked the code earlier.

Best regards. Chis Florinel.

Now the question is how did you end up with a file named Log.py...

[chis.florinel@…]

I used the installer: trac-0.9.3.win32.exe, date (downloaded): 29 january 2006.

[cboos]

I justed tested it... works for me.

But I was nevertheless able to reproduce the problem: the file trac/log.py will be named trac/Log.py if there's already a file named like that before the installation.

That can indeed be the case if you had an old Trac 0.8.x version installed and you didn't uninstall it before installing the 0.9.3 version.

Not sure if we can do something about it, as it seems to be a generic distutils bug. The distutils used was 1.0.4, from 2.3.5 but apparently this behavior is still there with the distutils 2.4.1 that comes with python 2.4.2.

There's nothing we can do about this as long as we want to have the freedom to make changes to module names in Trac 0.x. That's why TracUpgrade says:

“In any case, if you're doing a major version upgrade (such as from 0.8 to 0.9), it is highly recommended that you first remove the existing Trac code. To do this, you need to delete the trac directory from the Python lib/site-packages directory. You may also want to remove the Trac cgi-bin, htdocs, templates and wiki-default directories that are commonly found in a directory called share/trac (the exact location depends on your platform).”

[cboos]

I was actually thinking about a pre-install-script that would remove the offending file.

I tried installing trac 0.10.3 on ubuntu 6.0.6 and recieved the same error. apt-get install python-mysqldb solved the problem.

I am getting this error using trac version 0.10 and mysql database:

Is there anyone with feedback on how to solve this problem? Thanks. --Willie
