All
I'm not a python programmer, but I package several python apps.
I'm trying to run log2timeline.py which I have packaged in security:forensics as part of the python-plaso package.
The self tests all run.
When I try to run the main app, it immediately fails:
=====
log2timeline.py
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/log2timeline.py", line 24, in <module> from plaso.frontend import log2timeline ImportError: cannot import name log2timeline
====== It should be giving me a syntax error since it requires arguments, but its not getting that far in the code.
I've used it in the past, but it may have been a year or more under oS 13.2. This is with LEAP 42.2
It's obviously croaking on line 24. The first 30 lines of log2timeline.py are:
==================================
head -30 /usr/bin/log2timeline.py
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """The log2timeline command line tool."""
import argparse import logging import multiprocessing import sys import time import textwrap
try: import win32console except ImportError: win32console = None
from dfvfs.lib import definitions as dfvfs_definitions
import plaso from plaso import dependencies from plaso.cli import extraction_tool from plaso.cli import tools as cli_tools from plaso.cli import views as cli_views from plaso.frontend import log2timeline from plaso.lib import definitions from plaso.lib import errors from plaso.lib import pfilter
=====================================
Thanks for any insight.
Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer
hello,
well, many things changed since 13.2 ;) but none that would seem relevant to this.

this is as plain as you can get: a module is missing. In particular, the file "%{python_sitelib}/plaso/frontend/log2timeline.py" does not exist.
Looking at the spec for python-plaso, this just miiiight be because it's being deleted in the %install phase ;)
hope this helps m.

looking at it closer, you seem to delete files that "also exist" as executables in %_bindir. This is a mistake. These are different files -- implementations of CLI interfaces as supposed to some library components or something. Do not remove them.

Thanks a lot Jan.
No idea why I was deleting those, but it must have been to address an old plaso install bug. I clearly haven't used any of those front-ends since I updated the package from 1.4 to 1.5.
