ImportError: 'smmap' could not be imported, assure it is located in your PYTHONPATH about jython3 HOT 5 CLOSED

Even when I tried to import git after installing gitpython throws the below exception.

import git
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\git__init_.py", line 30, in
init_externals()
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\git__init_.py", line 24, in init_externals
raise ImportError("'gitdb' could not be found in your PYTHONPATH")
ImportError: 'gitdb' could not be found in your PYTHONPATH

In general, putting the CPython library on the path in Jython is a recipe for disaster: much of the Jython stdlib is identical, but low-level code is not. At the end sounds like it would be safe, but in fact it's not reliable. It would be better to have a distinct copy of the modules you need in (say) the Jython Lib/site-packages.

I notice that the names reported are git__init_.py and gitdb__init_.py, which looks wrong in an obvious way. This may be a bug in os.path.join or our import apparatus: or it may just be in the production of the error message.

BTW this is the Jython3 sandbox and you're using Jython 2.7.

Thanks jeff, the information is really helpful.

I ought to be able to say install the things you need with pip under 2.7.0, but it doesn't work on Windows. Now that is a bug 😞. So I guess installing under CPython (as you have) and copying is the thing to try.

I tried the by copying the dropbox module but unfortunately it shows the above error :(
