Thanks! Good to know.

I'm not sure what's trying to import _hashlib... but what's stranger is that
it should be part of the base python install, and nothing we do affects the
base install. We do start Galaxy with these flags:
It's the egg downloader doing md5s on the files. I think there are
two ways hashlib can work, and I think the macports way is to use the
_hashlib c implementation, which goes missing from the path. This is
probably because MacPorts choose to split out hashlib from the base
install.
-E Ignore environment variables like PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME that
modify the behavior of the interpreter.
-S Disable the import of the module site and the site-dependent
manipulations of sys.path that it entails.
This is so we can limit conflicts between our provided dependencies, and any
you may have installed locally.
If you start the interactive interpreter, are you able to import _hashlib?
How about with -E and/or -S? Any output you can provide from where it
fails (I assume in scramble.py?) would be helpful.
I can get hashlib from the interactive shell. Is there a way to get a
shell with the galaxy environment?
Here is the traceback. If you read hashlib, it tries to import
_hashlib and if that fails and so it tries to get _md5. The MacPorts
python should have _hashlib but not _md5 (as below). _hashlib cannot
be found with the path for some reason.

Remove -E from run.sh, if necessary, but this may cause other problems.
Tools do run without these flags so they can find other site-installed
dependencies (such as numpy, etc.).
OK I will try these flags out and see what happens.
Thanks for the quick reply,
James
