Thanks for the info Ross

 

But I still get the same error

 

“ImportError: No module named scripts.db_shell”

 

After chmod 777 scripts/db_shell.py

 

When you get “ImportError: No module named galaxy”  for example it’s because the PYTHONPATH isn’t set so I guess there’s some variable I need to set for the scripts directory???

 

Thanks anyway

 

Neil

Neil, 

AFAIK, python will not load a module unless the relevant script file is marked as executable by the current user?

Try something like:

chmod ugo+x scripts/db_shell.py

and see if that fixes your problem?

Hi,
    I'm trying to use the tool, however, when I run it I get:


python create_galaxy_users.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "create_galaxy_users.py", line 2, in <module>
    from scripts.db_shell import *
ImportError: No module named scripts.db_shell

I've set my PYTHONPATH to be ~/galaxy-dist/lib. What else do I need to do? I'm running the script from ~/galaxy-dist/ directory, but I get the same error if I copy it into the scripts directory. I've checked and I can see that the scripts.db_shell.py script exists

If I comment out the line then the next error I get is:

python create_galaxy_users.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "create_galaxy_users.py", line 7, in <module>
    from galaxy.security import GalaxyRBACAgent
  File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/security/__init__.py", line 9, in <module>
    from galaxy.model.orm import *
  File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/model/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    from galaxy.security import RBACAgent, get_permitted_actions
ImportError: cannot import name RBACAgent

Any help much appreciated

Neil

I put together a script to do this. It is described in the galaxy-dev thread titled: "[galaxy-dev] user creation using API". It doesn't actually use the API, it uses the db_shell.py script.

Hope this helps.
