Description (last modified by Jun Omae)

Hi!

Just tried Trac 1.5.3 which is supposed to run on Python 3.5+ but I can't get it to work.

Running track-admin works fine, such as these commands:

sudo trac-admin /www/trac upgrade
sudo trac-admin /www/trac wiki upgrade
sudo trac-admin /www/trac deploy /www/trac/deploy
sudo trac-admin /www/trac repository resync '*'

But the front-end won't work.

I get this error in my Apache logs:

Content-Type: text/plain

 Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

No module named 'dummy_thread'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/trac/web/_fcgi.py", line 53, in <module>
    import thread
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'thread'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/trac.fcgi", line 33, in <module>
    from trac.web import fcgi_frontend
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/trac/web/fcgi_frontend.py", line 51, in <module>
    from ._fcgi import WSGIServer
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/trac/web/_fcgi.py", line 57, in <module>
    import dummy_thread as thread
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dummy_thread'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/trac.fcgi", line 47, in <module>
    tb = io.Bytes()
AttributeError: module 'io' has no attribute 'Bytes'

So I Googled and found that you could create a thread.py file (with some content) in the site-packages directory which fixed the problem "no module named 'thread'", but then I got this error message instead:

Content-Type: text/plain

 Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am using the latest trac.fcgi from installation of Trac 1.5.3, which points to the Python 3.8 binary and the trac.fcgi file has execute permissions for the 'www' user of Apache.

Some googling suggested that the error 'End of script output' and Apache error 500 is because of insufficient execute permissions of the trac.fcgi in the cgi-bin for Apache.

Used 'r-x------' (500) for user 'www' successfully with Python 2.7 and Trac 1.4.2, but even tried 'r-x--x--x' (511) with this new version, but doesn't help.

I'm currently running Apache 2.4.46, mod_fcgid 2.3.9, subversion 1.14.1 and Python 3.8.10 on macOS 10.13.6.

Kind regards Pär
