[Google Wave APIs] Re: import json error with python-written robot
I realised my code was fine so that it was probably a problem with globals, and found out that you can't use them here, or at least that they can't be modified. So I used the datastore, and it works now, which is nice. Working solution can be found on the links I provided above. On Nov 7, 2:15 pm, Niall twom...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for your reply, Lee. I've been working on and off over the last couple of days and I think I'm stuck. The code I'm using can be found here --http://code.google.com/p/googlewaverobots/source/browse/trunk/robotte... and the gadget is found herehttp://code.google.com/p/googlewaverobots/source/browse/trunk/robotte... (I decided to try to replicate the translation robot, as it seemed like it'd teach me a good amount about python and the APIs) Anyway, the problem I'm having is that I can't get the robot, when a new blip is submitted, to read the state of the gadget, but when I modify the languages in the dropdown options it gets them fine. I think the problem is in how I search for the gadget, as when I modify the state of the gadget it works well, but if I don't it doesn't find the gadget. I searched the groups and can't find a way of doing this that works for me. I tried making global variables so that when the gadget is modified the language pairs would likewise be modified. I made two variables fr and to (language from which and to which we're translating) and in the onBlipSubmitted I did a global fr and global to and tried modifying them in the gadget key, elem gadget loop but to no avail -- I got no errors, but it wouldn't modify the values for me. You can also see what I've tried on the previous revisions of the code. If I set a default value for the global variables I can't change it, and if I don't set anything it says that the global name is not defined. Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: import json error with python-written robot
Cheers. I got it working before I saw the solutions ye posted. I went to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson/2.0.9 and downloaded simplejson and uploaded it with the robot I'm using. I might try to use Holger's solution, though. Thanks. Now, my robot works does basically what it should do, but I'd like to make it confugurable and I think the best way to do that would be to allow whover's using the robot to select options from a dropdown menu (from a blip that the robot posts when it is added to a wave). I've seen this from a few different robots, but I'm not sure how it was done. I've seen it on a few robots (aunt-rosie, for example, but that's written in Java) so I figure it might be possible with python. I searched, as i said. But couldn't see much that looked useful.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: import json error with python-written robot
OK. I figured it out. I did a version check on python on wave and got: 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 7 2009, 17:42:26) [GCC 4.1.0] And if I remember right json came in with 2.6.
