So I guess we can close the bug. The problem is that different backport
packages can conflict with each other. The only thing we could think
about is if python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size could be changed
to be more robust against that. Looks like a task for upstream.

Best,

I just tried a different approach, and it's revealing:

$ python -s
Python 2.7.12+ (default, Sep  1 2016, 20:27:38) 
[GCC 6.2.0 20160927] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from backports.shutil_get_terminal_size import get_terminal_size

Why on Earth did moving ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/backports
not have the same effect is beyond me.

What do you get if you run this:
python -c "import sys; print sys.path"

What exactly did you try? Could you try renaming the whole folder
~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages ?

What happens if you rename that for a moment? Does it fix the problem?

I do use pip within virtual environments, but these shouldn't interfere.

First, as per Julien's request, here's my output:

$ python
Python 2.7.12+ (default, Sep  1 2016, 20:27:38) 
[GCC 6.2.0 20160927] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from  backports.shutil_get_terminal_size import get_terminal_size
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: No module named shutil_get_terminal_size

When using pip within virtual environments, packages/modules get
installed in ~/.local/lib/python2.7 in my case.  There I see one
potentially interfering backports module, which shows these contents:

$ ls -alh ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/backports/
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x  3 sluque sluque 4.0K Oct 30 16:16 .
drwx-- 20 sluque sluque 4.0K Oct 30 16:18 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 sluque sluque 4.0K Oct 30 16:16 configparser

If you google this you see that tons of people have similar issues:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/9656
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/9815
https://github.com/chrippa/backports.shutil_get_terminal_size/issues/9

The most common "solution" there is reinstalling something with pip. My
suspicion is that the people who see this on Debian also used pip and
there is something interfering. Did you guys use pip (or something else
to install Python modules not from Debian) and have a backports module
or backports.shutil_get_terminal_size itself installed there?

Best,
Tobias

Hi,

can all of you seeing the problem try to reproduce the following 
session, please, and send what you get:


jpuydt@nox:~$ python
Python 2.7.12+ (default, Nov  4 2016, 17:04:30)
[GCC 6.2.0 20161027] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from  backports.shutil_get_terminal_size import get_terminal_size
>>>

(as you see, there's no problem here...)

Thanks,

Snark on #debian-python
