Python & SPSS v15

[Jignesh Sutar-3]

Hi,

 

I've used Python in the past but am now trying to install everything again from scratch.

 

Steps I have taken:

 

1. Installed SPSS 15.0 Base

2. Installed Pataches to upgrade to 15.0.1.1

3. Installed Python 2.4.3

4. Installed Python PulgIn for SPSS v15.0.1

 

Am running Win 7.

 

Having done all this Python is working with SPSS however non of the core python modules associated with SPSS (ie, spssdata.py/spssaux.py) have downloaded themselves into the relevant folders. I have manually downloaded spssaux, spssaux2 but if simply run "import spssaux2" I get the error:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    import spssaux2
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\spssaux2.py", line 4, in -toplevel-
    import spss, spssaux, spssdata
ImportError: No module named spssdata

 

I think it's simply a case of the modules not being downloaded? Should the job of the plugIn be to do this? Regardless, how do I go about fixing things? Any help, if others have found themselves in this situation would be great.

 

Many thanks

In the older releases, the plugin install did not include spssaux, spssdata, and namedtuple.  You need to get those individually from the Developer Central downloads section.  You can just put them in the python24/lib/site-packages directory and you should be good to go.
