PyKota, Python: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute'_quote'

[JohannesTU]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to linux/suse, but I was given the task to install the print
accounting software PyKota.
Before that I never even touched a linux system, so I don't have any basic
knowlegde at all!
Up to now I was able to solve all problems with the help of google, but now
I'm stuck.

My problem:


linux-6n5c:/usr/local/bin # pkusers --add john paul
Creation...
ERROR: PyKota v1.26_official
ERROR: pkusers failed
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
ERROR: File "/usr/local/bin/pkusers", line 442, in <module>

I have no idea how to deal with it or what it even means!

Executing "linux-6n5c:/usr/local/bin # pkusers" works fine and shows me
commands, version number etc.
But adding users or printers (with pkprinters) won't work.

I would be really thankful if anyone could give me some advice or hints how
to solve the problem!

Kind regards
Johannes
