apgsearch v1 error

[danieldb]

I know this is probably very common, but since I don't know python at all, I keep getting an error:

line 46, in <module>
from glife import rect, pattern
ImportError:No module named glife

How do I fix?

That happens when you try to run a Golly python script from python directly. Unfortunately for apgsearch, Golly's base code requires that python scripts which import from glife be executed from within Golly.

This problem was remedied in apgnano, so if you're only looking to contribute C1 standard-Life searches I would recommend switching to apgnano. But if you are hoping to run other symmetries/rules, you just have to run the apgsearch script using Golly, where python will find the glife module.

Hope this helps!
