Somewhat OT: DimDim complains about

[pvsvani]

Hi,
I know almost nothing about python, but I am trying to use DimDim (a videoconference server) and it uses python.

The operating system is Debian Etch and ir is supposedly to use python2.5. When I start DimDim it outputs these specific errors about python:

File "/usr/local/dimdim/Mediaserver/mods/interface.py", line 7, in <module>
from document_manager.slidedeck import CSlidedeck
File "/usr/local/dimdim/Mediaserver/mods/document_manager/slidedeck.py", line 22, in <module>
from engine import exportEngine
File "/usr/local/dimdim/Mediaserver/mods/document_manager/engine.py", line 34, in <module>
import uno


Below there are some lines of engine.py with its number lines:

16 #import win32com.client, pythoncom
17
18 from toolkit import osconfig
19 from toolkit import filehelper
20 from toolkit.dThread import dThread
21
22 selfDestructTime = 360.0 # in seconds
23 mediaArchive = osconfig.mediaDirectory()
24 oopath = osconfig.ooPath()
25 slidedeckArchive = osconfig.slidedeckArchive()
26 mailboxURL = osconfig.mailboxURL()
27 if sys.platform.startswith('win'):
28 import win32process
29 import win32file
30 import win32com.client, pythoncom
31 else:
32 sys.path.append(oopath)
33
34 import uno
35 import unohelper
36 from com.sun.star.beans import PropertyValue
37
38 class scopedLock(object):
39

Please could you help me to solve this problem, do you need more info?

Thanks in advance!

It would help to post the full Exception traceback. it seems to be cut-off.

Hm, not knowing any thing about this software, I would try to see if there was an uno.py on your /usr/lib path somewhere and then look at it. It may be there are some missing libraries which it's expecting. Perhaps there's a readme or install textfile that will list the dependencies.
