Python/Tipfy/Jinja2: ImportError: No module named ext.jinja2

Question

Aloha,

having some spare time and trying out python on app engine as it is much more flexible than java, I wanted to use Tipfy as my webapp framework.

My problem ist, that, whenever I try to import something like jinja2, I get:

from tipfy.ext.jinja2 import render_response
ImportError: No module named ext.jinja2

I ensured that under lib/dist there is the jinja2 folder.

Other stuff like Session doesn't work either :(

Any help to a noob? Their IRC chat wasn't a help and the documentation didn't mention any such problems.

Thank you :)

Why are you importing the same component twice? – unode May 26 '11 at 13:29 — unode, May 26 '11 at 13:29

In the newest tipfy version (1.0b1), the jinja2 extension is now bundled with tipfy.

from tipfyext import jinja2

Are you using that version? I'm sorry because the documentation is outdated and doesn't reflect this.

Thank you so much! This worked as expected now :-) Could have seen this in the demo app skeleton as well, was a bit blind there. Just one short question: Have you got any idea why I can't have my handerls in a subfolder called 'handler'? It always tells me that the handler could not be found :-/ Everything is quite strange to me as of now... – Jannick May 26 '11 at 15:27
Did you add a `__init__.py` to the subfolder? – moraes May 27 '11 at 00:59
Yes I did. I had a typo error... pretty weird switching from Java to Python but I am getting more and more used to it :) Start liking it a bit :) – Jannick May 27 '11 at 11:37
