Question

i’ve ran into this wierd error since few days where most of the applications/frameworks/modules will refuse to run , because of of the unavailability of the module deepcopy i can’t understand why is that so ?

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/http/__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
    from django.utils.datastructures import MultiValueDict, ImmutableList
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/utils/datastructures.py", line 3, in <module>
    from django.utils.copycompat import deepcopy
ImportError: cannot import name deepcopy

why is that so ? and how it can be fixed ?

Answer 1

seems like i had another copy.py file in my path that was confusing python .removed it and it worked like a charm .
