ImportError: No module named 'xmlrpc_daemon'

[samir-plusb]

Hello,

I am trying to install LDTP on Ubuntu 16.04.04 LTS (inside a Docker container).

The following packages were installed:

apt-get install git python3-pip python3-twisted python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 python3-pyatspi -y

And then I try to install LDTP with the following commands:

mkdir -p /tmp/ldtp
cd /tmp/ldtp
git clone https://github.com/ldtp/ldtp2.git
cd ldtp2
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install

After executing ldtp on the CLI the following error appears and ldtp terminates:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ldtp", line 23, in <module>
    import ldtpd
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/ldtpd/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
    from xmlrpc_daemon import XMLRPCLdtpd
ImportError: No module named 'xmlrpc_daemon'

I have no experience developing with python but in my understanding, the module xmlrpc_daemon cannot be imported, which is is defined in the LDTP project itself.

Maybe someone in here knows how to fix this? I appreciate any help!

I guess this is related to python3 support #54 not being implemented yet
please try to use python2 (as you are in ubuntu 16.04)

Please check if #58 solves your problem

Hi schuellerf, looks #58 fix the module issue, but I find another issue:

>>> from ldtp import *

@linuxqiao the "Connection refused" happened to me often when the ldtp backend dies.
I didn't find all the reasons why ldtp sometimes dies, but how did you start ldtp?
Does ldtp have some debug output when you run it in a terminal and this happens?
(or run even with "ldtp -v" to check...)

@schuellerf, interesting! it works today!
I just type 'from ldtp import *' in my python3 shell like:

$ python3
