"ImportError: No module named nzbget" when using with sabnzbd

[tehniemer]

I'm getting the following error running this script in sabnzbd

 Notification script returned exit code 1 and output "Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/config/scripts/Notify.py", line 175, in <module>
    from nzbget import SCRIPT_MODE
ImportError: No module named nzbget
"

I have it calling the sabnzbd-notify.py script.

I'm not sure what OS you're running, but basically you're just missing the dependencies needed to use nzb-notify.

# Run this from the directory you cloned nzb-notify into; this will haul in your
# missing dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt

[tehniemer]

It's running in Docker.

[Chris Caron]

Have a look at #53. It seems like it's your exact error; there are a few suggestions in it at the bottom that will probably fix you right up! 🙂

[tehniemer]

OK thanks, I'll give that a try.

[Chris Caron]

Did you have any luck? If so, do you mind if I close this ticket off? Otherwise please keep me posted as i can still try to be of more assistance 🙂

[tehniemer]

No, I have sabnzbd running in docker and this is the error I get

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:346: starting container process caused "exec: \"pip\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown

I'm guessing the image I'm using doesn't have the right things installed.

[Chris Caron]

Sorry to hear that! Could you share your Dockerfile with me? Maybe we can just adjust it to fix your issue.

[tehniemer]

Thanks for your willingness to help, I'm using the LinuxServer.io image, looks like this is the dockerfile.

I'm not able to test this at work (where I am due to the firewall blocking the ports needed to build the container), but something like this might work:

FROM lsiobase/xenial
MAINTAINER sparklyballs

# environment settings
ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive"
ENV HOME="/config" \
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

# install packages

        python-pip && \

	/var/tmp/*

# add local files
COPY root/ /

# ports and volumes
EXPOSE 8080 9090
VOLUME /config /downloads /incomplete-downloads

---

Ideally the line should probably read:

...
#SABnzbd Notifications / Missing Dependencies
pip install -r /path/to/nzb-notify/requirements.txt &&
...

But until i can test the image myself, i don't know what the path is. You could try to get this yourself if you wanted. Do the following:

# first get the container name (hash)
docker ps

# Once you found the sabnzbd container (and have it's hash):
docker run <hash> --rm -i bash

# you'll get a linux prompt; you should be able to locate the
# path to where nzb-notify was installed to. Hopefully the requirements.txt
# exits....

Worst case... just try it with the manual references to the dependencies above.

[Chris Caron]

Just to add to this, I missed your comment about pip being missing. Try adding this first:

apt-get install python-pip

I'll update the sample Docker container reference comment (above) too to include this.

Thanks for the guidance, I forked the linuxserver.io repository and ended up with this as my dockerfile

The test notification was sent, so it seems to be working and nothing else has broken....yet.

[Chris Caron]

That's great to hear! Also, thank you for sharing your solution too!
