Unable to run Openstack-installer Error

Question

I'm trying to run the sudo openstack-install command, after installing sudo apt-get install openstack.

It gives me error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/openstack-install", line 279, in <module>
    ev = EventLoop(ui, cfg, logger)
  File "/usr/share/openstack/cloudinstall/ev.py", line 43, in __init__
    self.loop = self._build_loop()
  File "/usr/share/openstack/cloudinstall/ev.py", line 66, in _build_loop
    event_loop=urwid.AsyncioEventLoop(loop=evl), **additional_opts)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AsyncioEventLoop'

Trying to install openstack with the new Autopilot feature and MAAS, this code is run on the MAAS Server. (Ubuntu 15.10)

Output from .cloud-install/commands.log

Answer 1

I also ran into this issue with the openstack-installer, but have a slightly newer version:

dpkg -l|grep openstack

ii  openstack                            0.99.27-0~1501~stable1~ubuntu15.10.1 all          Ubuntu Openstack Installer

It turns out that the version of urwid that is already installed is 1.2.1, and that does not have AsyncioEventLoop. The easiest solution is to upgrade urwid, currently at 1.3.1:

sudo pip3 install urwid --upgrade

You may need to install python3-pip to run the above command:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Answer 2

I did a complete reinstall, and everything works. I think it might be I didnt apt-get update with the new repositories added.
