Trouble installing django-imagekit - 'execfile' is not defined

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20069701

Question

I am having problems installing django-imagekit under python 3.2/django 1.5. Is django-imagekit only for python 2 (then why is it available in pip-3.2)?

Trying to install django-imagekit from within my virtualenv.

Solution

It doesn't look like this module has been updated for python3 yet. Django has only officially supported python3 since 1.5, so several packages have yet to update.

OTHER TIPS

I'm the maintainer of django-imagekit and, unfortunately, it isn't quite ready for Python 3 yet. As for why it's "available" for pip-3.2…My understanding is that pip doesn't do any filtering of packages based on the version of Python you're using; pip-3.2 is named that way because it installs packages into Python 3.2, but it doesn't use a separate index.

EDIT:

We just pushed ImageKit 3.2 which has support for Python 3! Give it a try (:
