Hi Petter,
Unfortunately, when you install this version of creepy it does not work.
If you install it, and then run the python script you get:
ross@debian-sid-install:/usr/share/creepy$ python CreepyMain.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "CreepyMain.py", line 38, in <module>
fh = logging.FileHandler(os.path.join(os.getcwd(),'creepy_main.log'))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 911, in __init__
StreamHandler.__init__(self, self._open())
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 936, in _open
stream = open(self.baseFilename, self.mode)
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/creepy/creepy_main.log'
The program runs fine from within the source directory. I have not
tried to patch creepy to write the log to a better place to see if it
is the only problem, but I did contact upstream to tell him of the
problem. He seemed to be willing to make try and use a build system
and tweak the code so that creepy is more flexible about the installed
location. I suggested distutils which would make for a simple d/rules
file.
Checking upstream again, there does not seem to be many recent
commits. There is a constant battle to keep up to date with all the
API changes from the services that are used as plugins (instagram
etc.). A 1.2 alpha version was uploaded, but the promised final
release has not yet appeared.
We could try patching CreepyMain.py?
Regards,
Ross
