[ISSUE] [Solved] ImportError: No module named '_socket'

(1/1)

Phivex:
The error " ImportError: No module named '_socket' " is raised and the game crashes after creating a server whenever I import "from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler" into "...\GamePlay\__inti__.py" It doesn't mind when I use "import logging", but it doesn't like the RotatingFileHandler class.

Below is the error in the python.log. Anything I can do to fix it? I can import both the RotatingFileHandler and _socket with my own version of Python (2.7.12), so I imagine it's maybe using an older version of Python from before the current implementation of the RotatingFileHandler class?

killermonkey:
Sockets are not supported in our build of Python for security reasons.

Phivex:
Ah. Okay. That makes sense then. Thanks for taking cyber security into consideration. It's too often thrown to the wayside for convenience.

I was hoping to use the module so I wouldn't have to worry about a file getting to large when collecting stats. Now I'll probably just tell the program to clean the file at startup each time. I was just hoping to avoid that since it would decrease portability having more code in multiple places.

killermonkey:
hmmmmm, after looking into this it looks like we should probably include socket... I think it breaks a lot more modules then I anticipated...
