How to define the 'ImporError' in the graph-tool python module?

Question

I'm trying to use the graph-tool python module, which is really great by the way. To do so I have:

• downloaded version 2.2.30 (http://downloads.skewed.de/graph-tool/graph-tool-2.2.30.tar.bz2)

• followed the installation instructions (http://graph-tool.skewed.de/download)

to compile the module I had to use this option: --with-sparsehash-prefix=google. Then after a quite long compilation time I have checked the compilation with make check and everything seems okay.

However when I try to do the Quick Start (http://graph-tool.skewed.de/static/doc/quickstart.html) I get this:

>>> from graph_tool.all import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/graph_tool/all.py", line 34, in <module>
    from graph_tool.draw import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/graph_tool/draw/__init__.py", line 770, in <module>
    from .cairo_draw import graph_draw, cairo_draw, get_hierarchy_control_points
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/graph_tool/draw/cairo_draw.py", line 51, in <module>
    except ImporError:
NameError: name 'ImporError' is not defined

Can you explain me what is the issue and how to fix it please ?

Answer 1

It's a typo in the module. It was supposed to be ImportError, not ImporError. You can go to that particular line in the file and edit it.

Answer 2

This issue has been fixed now in the new release.
