hello pythoneers, I recently tried to install wordnet 2.0 and pywordnet on both an ubuntu linux running python 2.4 and a winXP running activePython 2.4.1, and I get the exact same error on both when I try to "from wordnet import *" :
running install error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory) Adding the directories and files in question (touch Makefile) makes the install go through but (obviously) breaks the import of wordnet.py: >>> import wordnet Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "wordnet.py", line 1348, in ? N = Dictionary(NOUN, 'noun') File "wordnet.py", line 799, in __init__ self.indexFile = _IndexFile(pos, filenameroot) File "wordnet.py", line 945, in __init__ self.rewind() File "wordnet.py", line 958, in rewind if (line[0] != ' '): IndexError: string index out of range Is this pywordnet package abandoned, are there weird versioning issues, or am I just extremely unlucky for the install to fail on two machines? any help greatly appreciated, vdrab. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
