sitecustomize.py?

Deprecated Deadline 6 Bug Reports
#1

Hi there,

We have our centralized python libraries that are controlled by the local machine environment via a sitecustomize installed in every python distribution we use.

For deadline, we have placed it here:

C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\lib\site-packages\sitecustomize.py

And it seems to work just fine when running the dpython.exe in the bin folder:

C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\dpython.exe

import scanline.Paths

However, when we try to import our libs from deadline plugins, it seems to fail with the following log. Any ideas?:

Hey Laszlo,

I couldn’t reproduce this here. One check I did was to print out the sys.path in my plugin, and I confirmed that the path I added in my sitecustomize.py file was there. Can you run that check on your end?

Cheers,

  • Ryan

Its a bit odd, the errors seem to be random… also, on some machines some of the libraries load but some dont… :\

ill try to do a sys.path check

#4

We have put in some log prints to figure this out, and get the following when it happens:

Original sys.path: [‘C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\python26.zip’, ‘C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\DLLs’, ‘C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\lib’, ‘C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\lib\plat-win’, ‘C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\lib\lib-tk’, ‘C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin’, ‘C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\lib\site-packages’, ‘C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\’, u’C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\Dlls’, u’C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline6\bin\UI’, ‘//s2/exchange/software/managed/pythonScripts/site-packages’]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “none”, line 19, in
ImportError: No module named scanline.Paths

The bolded central location has the scanline and scanline.Paths modules in it. Also, if i remote into the machine, and start dpython in deadline/bin, i can import scanline.Paths just fine… very odd

#5

Very odd indeed… could it be the case where a node is unable to see the modules in that network time for a brief period? That could explain the randomness…

#6

It could be, the thing is, that S2 server is our central plugin repository, so if it cant load the python files, it would also have to fail on loading all plugins and max in general,… (there are pre startup syncs that would also fail)
