Troubleshooting¶

Testing the Dependencies - Debugging¶

Once installed, you should be able to import the python packages in a python console. MSNoise comes with a little script called bugreport.py that can be useful to check if you have all the required packages (+ some extras).

The usage is such:

$ msnoise bugreport -h

usage: msnoise bugreport [-h] [-s] [-m] [-e] [-a]

Helps determining what didn't work

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -s, --sys      Outputs System info
  -m, --modules  Outputs Python Modules Presence/Version
  -e, --env      Outputs System Environment Variables
  -a, --all      Outputs all of the above

On my Windows machine, the execution of

$ msnoise bugreport -s -m

results in:

----------------+PYTHON+-------------------
Python: 2.7.5 |Anaconda 1.7.0 (64-bit)| (default, Jul  1 2013, 12:37:52) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

---------------+MODULES+-------------------

Required:
[X] numpy: 1.7.1
[X] scipy: 0.12.0
[X] pandas: 0.12.0
[X] matplotlib: 1.3.0
[X] statsmodels: 0.5.0
[X] sqlalchemy: 0.8.2
[X] traitsui: 4.3.0
[X] traits: 4.3.0
[X] enable: 4.3.0
[X] scikits.samplerate: present (no version)
[X] obspy: present (no version)
[X] sphinx: 1.1.3
[X] jinja2: 2.7.1

Backends: (at least one is required)
[X] wx: 2.8.12.1
[ ] PyQt4: not found
[X] PySide: 1.2.1

Not required, just checking:
[X] setuptools: 0.6
[X] reportlab:  $Id$
[X] configobj: 4.7.2
[X] pkg_resources: present (no version)
[ ] paramiko: not found
[X] ctypes: 1.1.0
[X] pyparsing: 1.5.6
[X] distutils: 2.7.5
[X] IPython: 1.0.0
[X] vtk: present (no version)

The [X] marks the presence of the module. In the case above, PyQt4 is missing, but that’s not a problem because wx or PySide are present, so traitsui has a backend to render the GUI for the Configurator. The “not-required” packages are checked for information, those packages can be useful for reporting / hacking / rendering the data.

To install a missing package, for example obspy, use the easy_install command (easy_install is a python script that comes with setuptools):

$ easy_install obspy
