FUSE python issues

Question

I am trying to learn Fuse. First thing I did was to test helloFS.py located at /usr/share/doc/python­fuse/examples/. I installed FUSE from its source and python bindings from Fusepy. First I was getting this error ImportError: cannot import name Fuse. I changed it to FUSE. Now I am getting another error your fuse-py doesn't know of fuse.__version__, probably it's too old. I am not getting this. I also tried sudo apt-get install python-fuse. Did I install wrong libraries?How should I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Check your python search path (sys.path), and make sure it's actually importing the correct fuse library. It's possible you're picking up an old version from somewhere.

Also note that fuse-python is not the same as fusepy.They have different APIs, so if you are writing to one API and including another, you'll have issues. I prefer fusepy, myself, but you should probably pick one and stick with it.
