It's broken for me.

[murray at glypnod ntpq]$ ./ntpq
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./ntpq", line 17, in <module>
    from ntp.packet import *
  File "/home/murray/ntpsec/play/ntpq/ntp/packet.py", line 16, in <module>
    from ntpc import lfptofloat
ImportError: No module named ntpc
[murray at glypnod ntpq]$ 

That's with no PYTHONPATH.

There is a link in pylib:
   ntpc.so -> ../build/main/libntp/ntpc.so
I don't have a build directory.

I assume waf configure should setup that link.

I haven't figured out what's going on here.

[110/137] Compiling VERSION
error: No repo or cache detected.

 -> task in '/home/murray/ntpsec/play/pylib/version.py' failed with exit 
status 1 (run with -v to display more information)

What I'm doing is building on a system without git after rsyncing from my 
main system.  The rsync step excludes as much as I can, mostly .waf and .git

How is this new version stuff going to work from a tarball?


After build, there are things like statfiles.pyc in pylib/
Is that the right place for them?  Why are they not in build/main/pylib/ in 
parallel with the other compiler output?
