Hi all,
I want to create .spec file(with the help of this file, we can able to create RPM package). In order to create .spec file i used autospec in fedora 8 linux (http://www.npsnet.com/danf/software/autospec(1).html). But while running autospec command on .tar.gz file i got below error.

#tar tzf VembuStoreGrid_2_5_1_SP_RH.bin.tar.gz | autospec -bd -c GPL -g Utilities/System -n VembuStoreGrid_2_5_1_SP_RH -l '' > vembuSG.spec

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/autospec", line 18, in <module>
import autospec
File "/usr/bin/../share/autospec/autospec.py", line 228, in <module>
from fileanalyze import FileInfo,FileListAnalyze,lookforlicense
File "/usr/bin/../share/autospec/fileanalyze.py", line 11, in <module>
import regex
ImportError: No module named regex

Can any one please let me know how to proceed now.

ImportError: No module named regex

Thanks in advance

http://www.regular-expressions.info/python.html
" The first thing to do is to import the regexp module
into your script with import re. "

'autospec-0.8' is old and buggy, was meant for python
version 1.3 > ... not 2.x .AFAIK.

What is regex ... Google has 5.7 million hits, the first :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

Python 2.x has no module regex.py, the name is ' re.py '.
Editing the autospec py programs, change some 'regex'
to 're' : it is still buggy.

A working 'autospec' was never perfect, and you had to
edit the spec files created by the tool.

Writing a spec file isn't difficult

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts...n/ch09s05.html
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts...html#id2972829

Most applications already have a spec file, or you can
copy one, and edit it to your application.
