Bug 45079 – gensync fails on 'import portage' at line 20 with 'ImportError: No module named portage'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Jonathan Wright 2004-03-18 16:11:10 UTC]

After emerging gentoolkit (version 0.2.0_pre2) and updating portage (to 2.0.50-r1) to be able to use gensync to import bmg ebuilds, gensync whenever run complained with the following error:

stan bin # gensync bmg-gnome-current
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gensync", line 20, in ?
    import portage
ImportError: No module named portage

even re-emerging portage didn't solve the problem

however, after looking at the first ~25 lines of emerge, i copied over the first sent of import lines (including the details about the classer and os path, changing as needed):

--cut--------------
import fileinput
import sys
import os
os.environ["PORTAGE_CALLER"]="gensync"
sys.path = ["/usr/lib/portage/pym"]+sys.path

import portage
from output import *
--cut--------------

after that, gensync ran fine! :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gentoolkit-dev (and portage)
2.edit configuration files as per steps on breakmygentoo.net
3.run gensync bmg-gnome-current

Actual Results:  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gensync", line 20, in ?
    import portage
ImportError: No module named portage
