Python: Idle: ImportError: cannot import name sleep
G'day Folks,
I am running 2.6.11-Kanotix-11 and am experiencing a pretty weird error (to me...) with Python and Idle.
When I start Idle from my home directory it starts without any problem, however when I try to start it from ~/python I get the following output:
---------------------
e-dua@EGLOBE:~/python$ idle
23:59:30
22:59:30
0
22:59:35
0
1
1
1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/idlelib/run.py", line 7, in ?
import threading
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/threading.py", line 12, in ?
from time import time as _time, sleep as _sleep
ImportError: cannot import name sleep
-----------------------
My python version 2.3.5. Idle version is 1.0.5.
Any ideas why this happens? What can I do to fix it?
All help appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
