Which version of python?

[TamerZorba]

its Python 2.7.2

i restart every thing many times .. but this problem still coming

i am waiting for replay

[TamerZorba]

I manually copy the files (filecmp.py,filecmp.pyc) from my python on ubuntu ...

so now i got this error

Exception: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /) while trying to load binding.gyp

Well what command are you invoking? You probably aren't meaning to invoke node-gyp from the / directory.

If anyone is finding an issue with importing filecmp on angstrom/openembedded you need to install the python-misc package.
