Installation issue: ImportError: cannot import name AUTH_PROVIDERS

Question

I am trying to install OSQA and I thought everything was set up propertly but I get this error in my apache logs:

File "/var/osqa/mysite/forum/views/auth.py", line 17, in ? from forum.authentication import AUTH_PROVIDERS
ImportError: cannot import name AUTH_PROVIDERS

The site is running from this directory: /var/osqa/mysite

My osqa.wsgi:

sys.path.insert(0,'/var/osqa') #insert to make sure that forum will be found
sys.path.append('/var/osqa/mysite') #maybe this is not necessary
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

Please let me know if you could help.

Thank you, Alex

UPDATE

I upgraded Python and everything seems to work.

Hello, you should not change to import *. Anyway, I've never seen that error before. What's your python version?

Does the site works, besides the error?

Thanks for getting back to me. The website loads but it gives "500 Server Error". Here is my python info: Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:37)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2

... Please let me know if you have any ideas.

P.S. I meant "500 Server Error" osqa template

Alex, possibly our usage of logging module is incompatible with what you have available on your system. I have not seen this bug before either.

Thanks for your feedback, btw.

just a small advice, you really should upgrade your python, 2.4.3 is a bit outdated, but I'll have to test it out. I'll fill out a bug report

I have centos and yum was not diving me the latest python. After I read your comments, I decided to update it and installed ActivePython 2.6.4.10. Since then everything seems to work.

I only get this warning:

[Tue Mar 02 18:11:55 2010] [error] /var/osqa/mysite/forum_modules/openidauth/store.py:1: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
[Tue Mar 02 18:11:55 2010] [error]   import time, base64, md5

I looked up that it could be fixed this way:

try:
    import hashlib
    md = hashlib.md5()
except ImportError:
    # for Python << 2.5
    import md5
    md = md5.new()
