David, that's infinitely helpful - thank you!

@Pamela, thanks for the explanation.

I'm off to do more hacking ;)

Thanks for your reply. Funnily enough that makes total sense. One
issue with my code was incorrect arguments to the SetAnnotation()
call, as well as an invalid rabnge

So, got it fixed now - code's below for anyone else pondering this!

doc = wavelet.CreateBlip().GetDocument()
doc.SetText("THIS IS ANNOTATED TEXT")
doc.SetAnnotation(Range(2, 12), "link/manual", "http://
www.google.com")

What other annotations are available? Where do I get the valid names
from?!

Thanks again for the help,

atc

Perhaps have two App Engine applications, dev-myrobot and myrobot?

What language are you using?

The persistence probably comes from using the datastore provided by
Google App Engine.

Provide a bit more information first and perhaps people can help.

[Google Wave APIs] Python & Robot API - Annotating Blips

2009-10-18 Thread atc 

Hi all,

Ok, I'm having a bad time trying to get the hang of annotations. The
pydoc (http://wave-robot-python-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pydocs/
index.html) is quite bland - I can't seem to find anything that might
explain how to use them to say, bold text, add hyperlinks/hrefs. There
are types for images, gadgets and form elements but I can't seem to
find a descriptiojn of the basics - please help me.

I've followed the Java example on this thread (http://
groups.google.com/group/google-wave-api/browse_thread/thread/
eb334177c34c931f/ed1abe149d1ac6e4?lnk=gst&q=annotation
+documentation#ed1abe149d1ac6e4) but not had any luck - I just get a
blank blip posted by my robot...

I wrote the following code to try it:
doc = wavelet.CreateBlip().GetDocument()
doc.AnnotateDocument(Annotation("link/manual", "http://
www.google.com", Range()))
doc.SetText("THIS IS ANNOTATED TEXT")
As I said, I just end up with a blank blip - argh!

Firstly, what am I doing wrong?
Secondly, is there any documentation about annotations? If so, can
someone point me in the right documentation? :)

I want to first add nicely formatted hrefs because URLs I'm posting
are far too wrong - you can see for yourself by adding wave-
tool...@appspot.com to a conversation and posting @news...

Thanks in advance,

atc
