From the description, it sounds like the following happened:
- Installation of SOAPpy without fpconst failed, because setup.py imports SOAPpy to fetch the version.
- Installation of SOAPpy without fpconst using DarwinPorts succeeded, but didn't actually work because fpconst is still missing. A whole lot of other crap (Python 2.4, etc.) was installed in the process.
... so, it sounds like you need fpconst to use SOAPpy. Google and PEP 754 agree that fpconst is here: http://research.warnes.net/projects/rzope/fpconst/

At best, your various Python installations (in your case, at least Apple's Python 2.3 and darwinports Python 2.4) will be completely independent. At worst they'll break each other, but that's a different story for now:-)
What seems to have happened in your case is that you installed fpconst and pyXML into Apple's Python 2.3, then got SOAPpy from darwinports (which installed its own separate Python 2.4). You can check this be seeing whether there' s fpconst and pyXML stuff in /Library/Python/2.3, which is where Apple's Python keeps its extension modules.
Apparently darwinports' dependencies aren't complete, otherwise it would have loaded copies of fpconst and pyXML for it's Python 2.4 too.
Why SOAPpy didn't work for Apple Python I don't know. But your best course of action is probably to get the missing fpconst module into darwinports' Python 2.4, by running its setup.py again with the right python.

I'm trying to install SOAPpy--
I first DL'd and installed fpconst and pyXML (but I don't think they are in the right place)
I then DL'd the SOAPpy from the web site (not darwinports) and tried to do an install
it couldn't find fpconst
I went to darwinports and DL'd SOAPpy from there and it seemed to load in the dependencies for me this time but somehow I also got Python2.4 installed as well...
so now when I try to build SOAPpy I get the following error:
Bourbaki:/SOAPpy-0.11.6 root# python /SOAPpy-0.11.6/setup.py build Traceback (most recent call last): File "/SOAPpy-0.11.6/setup.py", line 8, in ? from SOAPpy.version import __version__ File "/SOAPpy-0.11.6/SOAPpy/__init__.py", line 5, in ? from Client import * File "/SOAPpy-0.11.6/SOAPpy/Client.py", line 57, in ? from Parser import parseSOAPRPC File "/SOAPpy-0.11.6/SOAPpy/Parser.py", line 8, in ? import fpconst ImportError: No module named fpconst
I think there are some differences in the two different SOAPpy packages I DL'd, the first one was done via CVS and the second via a .tar.gz package which was DL'd and extracted...so the various parts were placed in odd places like the python2.4/ is in my /opt/local/lib (I added a $PATH for this in my ~/.bash_profile) for some reason and not in the Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ dir
can anyone tell me where fpconst should be located? as well as whether python2.4 should be in the Library/Frameworks... dir?
thanks in advance! KIM
