I suppose you have successfully repaired your car, but don't know what an engine might be ;) > Executing "linux-6n5c:/usr/local/bin # pkusers" works fine and shows me > commands, version number etc. > But adding users or printers (with pkprinters) won't work. > > I would be really thankful if anyone could give me some advice or hints > how to solve the problem! The error traceback explained: Python is trying to call a function named _quote() in a module named pg. The most likely reason is either that you have the wrong version of the module or a module unrelated to the required one that has the same name and appears earlier in Python's search path. You can start debugging with $ python2.7 -c'import pg; print pg.__file__' to find out the filename and then look into the corresponding .py file. If that is related to postgresql you are probably seeing a version mismatch. Consult PyKota's documentation to find out the program's dependencies. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
