Plugin TimingAndEstimation not shown when installed under non standard location

[ronny.forberger@…]

I have trac 0.11b1 running with mod_python on Apache 2.2. I have installed trac to a different location than default, since in our /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages is another trac installation present.

Now a problem arises when using the plugin TimingAndEstimation?. The plugins version is 0.6.2.

It seems it cannot be installed under the location which differs from the default python site-packages dir. We have put it into /usr/local/trac/trac-0.11b1/lib/python2.4/site-packages where also the desired trac installation resides. But then the plugin won't be shown up in the admin/plugins page on trac webui.

We can't put the plugin up to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages due to some interference with the other installation of trac on that system, though everything works fine then.

So have you got ideas how we could tell our mod_python/Apache to have a look into /usr/local/trac/trac-0.11b1/lib/python2.4/site-packages to recognize the plugin?

apache2 mod_python configuration directives

As far as I understand, the issue is with mod_python not handling .eggs in non-standard locations well, and not an issue with Trac itself.

Try using mod_wsgi or fastcgi

I experienced the same issue with the ModAuthAcctmgrScript hence the creation of ModWsgiAcctmgrScript
