[CalendarServer-users] Getting caldavd to work on 10.5 (ppc)

[Leonard Kern]

Dear calendarserver-users,

I'm using calendarserver on my (t)rusty old iBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.5 (ppc, of course). Up to now I was using the run script, but as that is not recommended for everyday use I'm trying to migrate to the "proper" caldavd.
So far, I did
setup.py build
setup.py install
as well as putting together a configuration file (essentially the same as I was using before but with some paths changed).

Now, doing
caldavd -f caldavd.plist
results in this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/twistd", line 21, in <module>
   run()
 File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/twisted/scripts/twistd.py", line 27, in run

 File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/calendarserver/tap/profiling.py", line 19, in <module>
   from twisted.application.app import CProfileRunner, AppProfiler
ImportError: cannot import name CProfileRunner

Unfortunately, I'm not a python guy so I'm not sure what to make of this (and how to get rid of it). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Leonard Kern.
