[rdiff-backup-users] [Bug] In Time.py, import right time module.

[Andreas Neiser]

Hey folks,
i tried to use rdiff-backup on the following PPC machine (rdiff-backup
and python from the ipkg repository at www.nslu2-linux.org):

address@hidden:~# python2.5 --version
Python 2.5.2
address@hidden:~# uname -a

Linux CubeStation 2.6.15 #462 Mon Apr 30 21:03:04 CST 2007 ppc GNU/Linux
address@hidden:~# rdiff-backup --version

rdiff-backup 1.2.0

(if you need more info here, just ask ;)
First, the following happened:

address@hidden:~# rdiff-backup-statistics

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/bin/rdiff-backup-statistics", line 446, in <module>
    if __name__ == '__main__': Main()
  File "/opt/bin/rdiff-backup-statistics", line 433, in Main
    Time.setcurtime()
  File "/opt/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/time.py", line 42,
in setcurtime
    t = curtime or time.time()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I figured out to edit the import lines in Time.py from:

import time,types, re, sys, calendar
import Globals

to:

time = __import__('time')
import types, re, sys, calendar
import Globals

Then the command was successful:

address@hidden:~# rdiff-backup-statistics

Usage: /opt/bin/rdiff-backup-statistics [--begin-time <time>]
[--end-time <time>] [--minimum-ratio <float>] [--null-separator]
<backup-dir>

See the rdiff-backup-statistics man page for more information.

I don't know why this happens, can anyone explain this?

Regards,
Andreas
