Hello,
recently, I updated my local repository (U-Boot master). Last commit is
c693f212c5b0433b3a49a89d87cbff28bf78eb87 now. Previously it has been
4df3578119b043d76b86b50077b06898fc2a4f62 (Date: Wed Dec 18 18:25:42
2019 +0100).
Now I get an "ImportError" if I call patman:
u-boot_master$ ./tools/patman/patman --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tools/patman/patman", line 21, in <module>
from patman import checkpatch

line 8, in <module>
from patman import tools
File "/home/stefan/u-boot_master/tools/patman/../patman/tools.py",
line 13, in <module>
from patman import command
ImportError: cannot import name 'command'
Cause of this 'ImportError' is probably that "from patman import
command" has already been done before in checkpatch.py (circular
dependency). I think the error has to do with your your commit
bf776679a73f3b9eae37aabd2be5754483039cb2 (patman: Move to absolute imports).
My Python version is 3.4.3.
The circular dependency has been there for some time, but perhaps in
Python 2, not Python 3. My Python is 3.6.9 or 3.7.7.
I sent a patch to break the circular dependency. Can you please try it
and see if it helps?
Regards,
Simon
Thanks for your quick reply. I tried your patch, the good news is that
the ImportError for 'command' has been gone. The bad news is that the
same occurs for 'checkpatch' now:
$ ./tools/patman/patman --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tools/patman/patman", line 21, in <module>
from patman import checkpatch
File
"/home/stefan/u-boot_master/tools/patman/../patman/checkpatch.py", line
11, in <module>
from patman import gitutil
File "/home/stefan/u-boot_master/tools/patman/../patman/gitutil.py",
line 10, in <module>
from patman import checkpatch
ImportError: cannot import name 'checkpatch'
