Shawn,

Thank you so much for offering to help!  I'm new to OpenERP, python, buildout and other things involving programming.  In other words, I'm not a developer but I need to use web_socketio for a project I'm working on, integrating OpenERP with FreeSWITCH.

I used the buildout.cfg on main web_socketio page as a template to install OpenERP 7 and the base_phone_popup module is already installed.  When I run the following command (based on the instructions on the main page), everything seems to work well:

bin/start_openerp -d openerp -i web_socketio --addons-path=/usr/local/src/oe7-python27-project/openerp-addons,/usr/local/src/oe7-python27-project/openerp-web/addons,/usr/local/src/oe7-python27-project/web_action_request,/usr/local/src/oe7-python27-project/web_socketio,/usr/local/src/oe7-python27-project/web_notification

I get the following output:

However, when I run the following command (this is where I experience difficulty):

./bin/oe_web_socketio -d openerp

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bin/oe_web_socketio", line 55, in <module>
    import oe.web.socketio
  File "/usr/local/src/oe7-python27-project/oe.web.socketio/oe/web/socketio.py", line 3, in <module>

    f, path, descr = imp.find_module(module_part, ad_paths)
ImportError: No module named web_socketio

Are you able to tell me why it can't find the web_socketio?  This seems like something really simple and I just don't have the knowledge to understand how to fix it.  It's taken me weeks to get to this point so I'd REALLY appreciate any help you can give.  :-)
 

--- Additional info in response to Shawn ---

Unfortunately, that command I'm running (./bin/oe_web_socketio -d openerp) doesn't allow for the --addons-path option to be added.  It only accepts the '-d' option.  I'm using the instructions found on this page -- https://bitbucket.org/anybox/web_socketio -- and that command comes as a specific result of using the Anybox OpenERP buildout recipe.

Shawn, you definitely helped me learn a lot because thanks to your input, I actually found out how to get the program running by modifying several files.  However, I ended up undoing the successful tests I had run with the first command (bin/start_openerp -d openerp).

--- Update ---

I recently got help from the developer of the oe_web_socketio application and he informed me that there was a bug in the program.  He also gave me an example buildout.cfg file that I used to build and run everything successfully!

I'm very grateful to you, Shawn, and the developer, Jean Sebastien Suzanne, for reaching out to me so quickly and helping me get a better understanding of all of these extremely powerful and useful tools.  Thank you so much.

In case anyone is looking, the answer to my question (and help with the original question) can be found here:

Thank you again, Shawn, for another good idea.  I'm not the person who made the original post so I can't mark my post as the answer.

Ok... I'm not familiar with FreeSwitch, but I think that the problem arises because it cannot find the packages required. In the first statement, you have specified --addons and specified the location of all the required folders.

But in the second statement, there are no --addons specified, which means it will refer the openerp-server.conf file for the addons path, which probably does not contain all the required files.

Your openerp-server.conf file will probably be located in /etc/ folder.

Take the terminal, and type enter the following command:

sudo vi /etc/openerp-server.conf

A file should open up in the terminal. If it does, paste the contents here. It might help us. Let me know if you face any problems.
