Problem with terrasync.py script.

Postby Dogers » Tue May 28, 2019 2:02 pm

Greetings to everyone.

I post here, but I am not sure if the report is suited for this sub-forum, feel free to move it if not suited for here.

I wanted to download all the terrasync scenery with the terrasync.py script available here :

http://wiki.flightgear.org/TerraSync

I run the script with this command :

Code: Select all
python terrasync.py --target=/home/dogers/Downloads


And I got and error :
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "terrasync.py", line 24, in <module>
    import terrasync.main
  File "/home/dogers/Downloads/terrasync.py", line 24, in <module>
    import terrasync.main
ImportError: No module named main


What's the problem with my command did I did something wrong or maybe the script has a bug ?

I run Debian Testing 64 bits.

Thank you by advance for help.

i've set terrasync.py to be executable so i do not invoke python3 directly...

Code: Select all
chmod +x terrasync.py


my kubuntu has both, python (v2.x) and python3 (v3.x) installed...

the very first line in terrasync.py is
Code: Select all
#! /usr/bin/env python3

so you need to be using python v3.xxx instead of python v2...

there's also a directory that's needed to go with terrasync.py... it is named "terrasync" and contains
Code: Select all
__pycache__/
exceptions.py
__init__.py
main.py
virtual_path.py

this terrasync directory is where all the real code goes to make terrasync.py work instead of how it used to be with everything in one source file...

just in case, what does "$ python --version ; python3 --version" return? mine says this...
Code: Select all
Python 2.7.6
Python 3.4.3

Thank you for your response.

I feel really dumb here, in fact I have not see that I needed to download a folder, I thought it was only a simple script.

Thank you very much, problem fixed !

it used to be a simple script... if you build the FG unstable branch (aka next) with the download_and_compile.sh script, you'll find the scripts in "[your path]/next/flightgear/scripts/python/TerraSync"... i have no idea if they are included with the builds from the PPA...
