Thanks for the info. I have been living with a different issue. Everything works just fine normally, but periodically, when generating a PDF on the local dev environment, I get the same PDFMetrics error. A restart of the dev environment get me back on track. Normally, this occurs when debugging a new report script. Sometimes, there are 1, 2, 3 errors in my script. When finally all script errors are resolved, then the first time the pdf *should* generate successfully, the PDFMetrics error pops up. After the restart, I'm back on track.
Just adding my 2 cents to your 2 cents. johnP On Apr 17, 5:47 am, KenCorey <kenco...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Oh bother. > > Just thought I'd post about my stupidity to hopefully make things > smoother for someone else. > > For the record, I'm running XP Pro SP3, Python 2.5, GAE SDK 1.1.9, > ReportLab's PDF library 2.3. > > In my investigations, I'd downloaded reportlab's .msi installer, which > installed the pdf library in my python/lib/site-packages/reportlab > directory. > > Then, I realised I couldn't do that on Google's servers, and read I > could just install the files below the project directory. > > After that, I couldn't create even the simplest .pdf because it > crashed saying the infamous error: "ImportError: No module named > pdfmetrics".
