`ImportError: No module named platformio.util` on platformio run

Thanks a lot for report.

1. Which way did you use to install PlatformIO?
2. Try close/open your Terminal application.

Is it working fine now? If no, then give me a list of installed Python packages:

$ pip list

[ariejan]

1. pip install platformio & pip install --egg scons (Note the single & as I'm using Fish)
2. Here you go

$ pip list
base58 (0.2.1)
BeautifulSoup (3.2.1)
bsddb3 (6.0.1)
click (2.5)
doge (3.4.0)
ecdsa (0.10)
GDAL (1.11.0)
mercurial (3.0.2)
PIL (1.1.7)
pip (1.5.6)
platformio (0.5.0)
pycoin (0.23)
Pygments (1.6)
pyserial (2.7)
requests (2.3.0)
setuptools (5.4.2)
vboxapi (1.0)
wsgiref (0.1.2)

I already tried the termanial-hop, been there done that.

I know another way how to resolve this issue. But I want to know why this normal way (with installation) doesn't work. Something is wrong with your PYTHONPATH. I've just created "debug" version of main.py file.

Please replace file /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/platformio/builder/main.py with https://gist.github.com/ivankravets/e3ee819d8c453c37e5ae

The run for your test project:

$ platformio run

You should see a dump of Python system path. Please share it here.

Thanks a lot.

[ariejan]

Here you go:

$ platformio run

You are not trying to steal my passwords are you? 😉

I see a problem. It is /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/platformio/builder. Something is wrong with your Python Interpreter when code is run from subprocess. The valid item in PythonPath in your case is /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

Do you run $ platformio run command with sudo permissions? If yes, try without sudo.

I will create simple "patch" for your case and give your a new main.py. If it works for you, I will merge it to develop branch.

P.S:

You are not trying to steal my passwords are you?

No, I'm a good man :)

[ariejan]

Running with sudo gives the same output as without sudo.

[ivankravets]

Try new main.py:

Please replace file /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/platformio/builder/main.py with https://gist.github.com/ivankravets/e3ee819d8c453c37e5ae

[ariejan]

Yes, that works. Well, I get a compile error on my own code, so that's good.

👍

[ivankravets]

Thanks a lot you for patience with several patches! 😉
