[Visualpython-users] The cvisual attributeError

[Bryant M. <bm...@ya...>]

Greetings:
I am just getting started in Python and consiquently have many modules etc installed, not knowing what I really need. I had just discovered how to get eric4 and Vpython 5.13 installed using Python 2.6.3. On the 20th I was able to run the begining tutorials which included the import visual line with no problems. Last night I ended up with the object attribute error. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1
    from visual import *
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\visual\__init__.py", line 59
    import cvisual
AttributeError: 'Boost.Python.StaticProperty' object attribute '__doc__' 
is read-only

What had occured between was the installation/uninstall of an ACAD2010 trial package that included the C++ 2008 redidstribution package and updates. I already have Vstudio 2005. Also cmake 2.6 was installed. I have removed the C++ redistribution packages and the ACAD program and reinstalled all my python packages but am still unable to import visual. I dont know if any of this provides clues but I was able to import visual in 2.6.3 with no errors. 

Happy Trails
