installation on Ubuntu 12.04
 

Hi all, today I installed PyFoam on Ubuntu 12.04 but something is wrong and when i run a case I have:This is the procedure I used to install PyFoamPlease, which is the problem?

Obviously the PYTHONPATH is wrongly set. Is there a directory PyFoam in $HOME/OpenFOAM/PyFoam/PyFoam-0.6.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages ?

Check with pyFoamVersion.py

BTW: it can't be the "in a new shell it works because I modified .bashrc but didn't source it in the original shell" problem?

Thank you for your quick reply, Bernhard. I obviously sourced the file .bashrc, after the modification :-)
I checked and the directory PyFoam really exists in $HOME/OpenFOAM/PyFoam/PyFoam-0.6.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages. Anyway I post the output of pyFoamVersion.py

Well. This question solves about 50% of the "mysterious installation problems"

Is there a directory
/home/user-a5/OpenFOAM/PyFoam-0.6.3/lib/python-2.7/site-packages/PyFoam
and a file
/home/user-a5/OpenFOAM/PyFoam-0.6.3/lib/python-2.7/site-packages/PyFoam/Applications/PlotRunner.py

If there are not then you either didn't install PyFoam correctly or PYTHONPATH is pointing to the wrong location

I'm sorry Bernhard, I checked and everything is as expected. About PYTHONPATH, I think it points to the correct folder.
I really don't understand what happens :-(
Maybe other Python versions in my computer disturb PyFoam...

Don't think so. With all this lib/python-2.7-stuff python is quite good in separating installations.

The screenshots don't help. The titlebar with the path is unreadable. Plus comparing letter by letter for typos usually doesn't work. The only thing I trust is copying stuff from my config-file. "cd " and paste "<enter>" and see whether I'm in the correct directory

Hi,

if we assume that your home folder path is correct (though I'd suggest using environment variable $HOME instead of /home/user-a5), final part of the path is wrong, it should be

i.e. without minus.

so the alias should be something like

Dear Bernhard and Alexey, the problem was the '-' character. I apologize for having wasted your time, it was really a silly error :-(
As you can see, I've been far away from OpenFOAM and linux stuff for the last two years. Sorry again, have a good day.

PS Thanks for the $HOME tip too.

ImportError: cannot import name isatty
 

Dear All,

Happy New Year Wishes !!

I am using OpenFOAM 2.2.2 and i recently installed pyFoam 0.6.4 (installed it as a root). The installation was successfull but, when i try to use anyone of pyFoam commands say for instance ..
pyFoamChangeBoundaryType.py ... I get an error as shown below

That is strange. The function isatty should be defined right near the top of
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyFoam/Error.py

That is a completely fresh installation or did you upgrade from an old PyFoam installation? (but it must be really ancient because isatty is there for years)

Dear Bernhard Gschaider !

Thanks for your response !! I did a fresh installation of pyFoam 0.6.4... Is there any way to uninstall pyfoam ? I would like to reinstall it and try one more time...

You installed with setup.py, right? I'm afraid: no (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...p-py-uninstall)

You should be fine if you removed all files starting with pyFoam from /usr/local/bin and the whole directory /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyFoam/

Dear Bernhard Gschaider,

Thanks for the tip, I removed the files as you adviced and reinstalled pyFoam. Now everything works.

Thank you very much !!
