Thread: import error
Hi everyone, I could use a little help debugging an error I am getting. I recently installed psycopg2-2.4.3. When I import the module I get this error from python.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ps.py", line 1, in ?
import psycopg2
File "/home/spervez1/python-modules/psycopg2/lib64/python/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 67, in ?
from psycopg2._psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID
ImportError: /home/spervez1/python-modules/psycopg2/lib64/python/psycopg2/_psycopg.so: undefined symbol: PyByteArray_Type
I feel like this might be a version mismatch error. I am using Python 2.4.3. But I have no idea which version of psycopg would be compatible with it. I will appreciate any help. Thanks!

Looks like you have compiled psycopg with Python 2.7.

Psycopg is compatible with Python 2.4. Just make sure you use the
right version when you build it:
/path/to/python2.4 setup.py build
sudo /path/to/python2.4 setup.py install
Take note of where the library is installed to. If you still get an
ImportError, check the path reported by the exception: you will likely
see that it's not the same path reported in installation. In this case
you may have to adjust the PYTHONPATH in order to avoid confusion
across the different python versions you have installed in your
system.
