[albatross-users] Upgrade problems to albatross 1.10pre2

[Sheila King]

OK, so I decided to try an upgrade to the latest pre-release.

Downloaded it and put it on my server.
Note: I do not have, and am not able to have root perms on the 
community server where my account is. However, I have installed my 
own local copy of Python, which I have aliased as "pythonx", and when 
I previously installed albatross 1.01 the following install command 
worked just fine:

$ pythonx setup.py install

and installed everything properly.

OK, so I uploaded the tarball of 1.10pre2 to my home directory and 
unzipped it; everything looked fine.

I gave the command:

$ pythonx setup.py install

All of the output looked fine.

I cd to the /test directory.

Unfortunately, there is a problem with running the test programs as 
directed. I entered

$ make

and got the following error output:

PYTHONPATH=.. python all.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "all.py", line 14, in ?
    import unittest
ImportError: No module named unittest
make: *** [unittests] Error 1

So, instead I tried this:

$ pythonx all.py

which seemed to work mostly fine. I did get one error result:

======================================================================
ERROR: runTest (sessions.basic.ServerBasicCase)

ServerError: could not connect to session server

Which, I guess is expected, as I am not running the session server ???

Anyhow, the next thing I did was try to go to my application, which I 
had tested this afternoon before upgrading to the latest albatross.

I get the following error output when I try to go to the base URL for 
my application:

Template traceback (most recent call last):

Traceback (most recent call last):

372, in load_page_module
    file, filepath, desc = imp.find_module(name, [dirname])
ImportError: No module named login

Which is really weird, because the login.py file hasn't moved. The 
app worked the last time I tried it, and the only thing that has 
changed, is that I have upgraded albatross.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
