ImportError: No module named reverseContourPen

[jeremymickel]

Hi Frederik, I'm getting an error when I try to install Batch - it says I'm missing reverseContourPen. I've tried reinstalling FontTools / FontMake and cu2qu. Just wondered if you had any advice how to resolve this error.

Thanks in advance.

Traceback (most recent call last):

could you report back the output of this script:

import cu2qu
print cu2qu
import cu2qu.ufo
print cu2qu.ufo

it should be referring to a path inside RoboFont.app

are you injecting path to sys.path inside RoboFont?
do you have anything installed in the sys_path_override folder inside /Library/Application Support/RoboFont?

Thanks Frederik.

I don't have sys_path_override folder. And I'm not knowingly injecting anything into sys.path - is there a way to check that?

Here is the traceback for the script:

and what RoboFont version are you using?

its weird: cu2qu is embedded in RoboFont, it should find that version first before looking in to the local site packages path...

Thanks Frederik. Version 1.8.3b (built 1702022141)

Hi Frederick, you mean to RF2? Not for my primary workflow just yet. I have the latest version of 1.8, right? On Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 1:59 AM Frederik Berlaen <[email protected]> wrote:

I installed RF2 and Batch works correctly, no error messages. Still doesn't work in 1.8 though. Thanks again. On Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 6:47 AM, Jeremy Mickel <[email protected]> wrote:

1.8.4 is the latest retail version

[jeremymickel]

Thanks Frederik - updated to 1.8.4 but still get the same error.

[typemytype]

mmm, still weird it finds the external cu2qu first before the internal one.

could you check inside RoboFont: "RoboFont.app/Resources/lib/Python2.7"
and see if cu2qu is in there
