PyKota, Python: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_quote'

[JohannesTU]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to linux/suse, but I was given the task to install the print accounting software PyKota.
Before that I never even touched a linux system, so I don't have any basic knowlegde at all!
Up to now I was able to solve all problems with the help of google, but now I'm stuck.

My problem:

linux-6n5c:/usr/local/bin # pkusers --add john paul
Creation...
ERROR: PyKota v1.26_official
ERROR: pkusers failed
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
ERROR:   File "/usr/local/bin/pkusers", line 442, in <module>

ERROR:     return pg._quote(field, typ)
ERROR: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_quote'

I have no idea how to deal with it or what it even means!

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!

Kind regards
Johannes

That is an error in the pykota package. You should check for a newer version as this may have been fixed, or contact them with the error message.
