AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'printable'

Question

I have this problem. Any idea?

from OpenGL.raw.GLUT import *
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/raw/GLUT/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
        from OpenGL.raw.GLUT.constants import *
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/raw/GLUT/constants.py", line 7, in <module>
        from OpenGL import platform, arrays
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/platform/__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
        _load()
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/platform/__init__.py", line 27, in _load
        plugin_class = plugin.load()
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/plugins.py", line 14, in load
        return importByName( self.import_path )
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/plugins.py", line 28, in importByName
        module = __import__( ".".join(moduleName), {}, {}, moduleName)
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/platform/glx.py", line 3, in <module>
        from OpenGL.platform import baseplatform, ctypesloader
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/platform/baseplatform.py", line 4, in <module>
        from OpenGL.platform import ctypesloader
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/OpenGL/platform/ctypesloader.py", line 6, in <module>
        import ctypes, logging, os
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/logging/__init__.py", line 31, in <module>
        import sys, os, types, time, string, cStringIO, traceback
      File "string.py", line 3, in <module>
        chars=set(string.printable),
    AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'printable'

Answer 1

You have a file called string.py in the current directory. It's interfering with the standard library module of the same name. Rename the .py file, and remove the string.pyc file that was created.
