Bug#896351: python-chef: chef fails to import
Package: python-chef
Version: 0.2.3-3
Severity: serious
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: python-import
After installing python-chef importing the module chef
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chef/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
from chef.api import ChefAPI, autoconfigure
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chef/api.py", line 14, in <module>
import pkg_resources
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
