pysftp dependency is not being recognized

I’ve cloned the github repository into my Odoo machine and added the correct dependency on odoo-server.conf file, but when I click “Update modules list” on the application, I got the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “/opt/odoo/openerp/http.py”, line 544, in _handle_exception return super(JsonRequest, self)._handle_exception(exception) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/http.py”, line 581, in dispatch result = self._call_function(**self.params) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/http.py”, line 317, in _call_function return checked_call(self.db, *args, **kwargs) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/service/model.py”, line 118, in wrapper return f(dbname, *args, **kwargs) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/http.py”, line 314, in checked_call return self.endpoint(*a, **kw) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/http.py”, line 810, in __call__ return self.method(*args, **kw) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/http.py”, line 410, in response_wrap response = f(*args, **kw) File “/opt/odoo/addons/web/controllers/main.py”, line 948, in call_button action = self._call_kw(model, method, args, {}) File “/opt/odoo/addons/web/controllers/main.py”, line 936, in _call_kw return getattr(request.registry.get(model), method)(request.cr, request.uid, *args, **kwargs) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/api.py”, line 268, in wrapper return old_api(self, *args, **kwargs) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/api.py”, line 439, in old_api result = new_api(recs, *args, **kwargs) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/api.py”, line 443, in new_api result = [method(rec, *args, **kwargs) for rec in self File “/opt/odoo/openerp/addons/base/module/wizard/base_module_update.py”, line 15, in update_module self.updated, self.added = self.env[‘ir.module.module’].update_list() File “/opt/odoo/openerp/api.py”, line 266, in wrapper return new_api(self, *args, **kwargs) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/api.py”, line 508, in new_api result = method(self._model, cr, uid, *args, **old_kwargs) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/addons/base/module/module.py”, line 651, in update_list handler.load_addons() File “/opt/odoo/openerp/http.py”, line 1317, in load_addons m = __import__(‘openerp.addons.’ + module) File “/opt/odoo/openerp/modules/module.py”, line 80, in load_module mod = imp.load_module(‘openerp.addons.’ + module_part, f, path, descr) File “/opt/odoo/auto_backup/auto_backup/__init__.py”, line 23, in <module> import backup_scheduler File “/opt/odoo/auto_backup/auto_backup/backup_scheduler.py”, line 33, in <module> raise ImportError(‘This module needs pysftp to automaticly write backups to the FTP through SFTP. Please install pysftp on your system. (sudo pip install pysftp)’) ImportError: This module needs pysftp to automaticly write backups to the FTP through SFTP. Please install pysftp on your system. (sudo pip install pysftp)

Then I typed sudo pip install pysftp in the terminal and I got

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pysftp in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): paramiko>=1.17 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from pysftp) Cleaning up…

I even tryed to type sudo pip install pysftp --upgrade but I got

Requirement already up-to-date: pysftp in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages Requirement already up-to-date: paramiko>=1.17 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from pysftp) Cleaning up…

Could you help me on that, please?

FWIW on another instance i’ve run into the following issue while attempting this again from another web hosting company:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/bin/pip”, line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File “/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/init.py”, line 70, in <module> import packaging.version ImportError: No module named packaging.version

I have resolved it using the following method (as root user): apt-get purge -y python-pip wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py python ./get-pip.py apt-get install python-pip

thanks to the suggestions on this blog: https://odedrabhavesh.blogspot.hk/2017/02/importerror-no-module-named.html

@wangdaze ,

I haven’t encountered your specific issue personally, however I believe it is still due to missing dependencies on your system. Try removing pysftp first and then do this:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

then reinstall pysftp and see if you still encounter the same issues. I’m pretty sure that specific error is related to the build-essentials dependency.
