Hey, oam-fetch thoughts in order of running into them:
* urlgrabber can't be easy_installed anymore; apparently it got pulled from pypi. (We aren't the only ones to get bit by this.) I'm not sure what the right approach is here; urlgrabber output is nice, but I'm not sure it's worth the difficulty in getting it installed (two-fold; lack of being on pypi, and the libcurl dev headers dependency for pycurl support) * I think there's a 'bug' in oam-fetch; it seems like it's impossible to fetch a bbox which starts with a '-', unless I'm missing something. optparse tries to treat the leading - signs as options and complains that 'there is no option -7', etc. I hacked this locally by adding a '-b' option for --bbox, but maybe someone can tell me I'm crazy and this isn't really a problem. * Should probably create (or offer to create) the output directory if the directory the user specified doesn't exist. * If it's run a second time, it should probably check if the files it is downloading exist first before re-fetching them; this is especially true because... * the vrt option not being on by default when downloads are enabled means that right now to generate a VRT you have to redownload everything. Looking at the code, I guess building a vrt isn't that hard, so maybe this is just better answered by documentation, but it might also make sense when downloading into a directory to just generate an 'output.vrt' by default in that directory. -- Chris _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://host134.hostmonster.com/mailman/listinfo/talk_openaerialmap.org
