I overcame commenting. I managed to read my own file and print it. Now
I am trying to use method getNumberofVariables() but unsuccesfully.
First way
SavReader(savFileName).getNumberofVariables()
gives me this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Dropbox\Exc_MarkoL_Zenel\Python\crosstabs\src\src\rw.py",
line 660, in <module>
SavReader(savFileName).getNumberofVariables()
TypeError: getNumberofVariables() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)
Second way
getNumberofVariables(savFileName, fh, spssio)
gives me this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Dropbox\Exc_MarkoL_Zenel\Python\crosstabs\src\src\rw.py",
line 660, in <module>
getNumberofVariables(savFileName, fh, spssio)
NameError: name 'getNumberofVariables' is not defined
Why there needs to be fh and spssio?
I would like to be able to know how to use all the methods to run and
test them and see, if any of them can give me labels from the file
instead of just pure numbers, before I start asking questions if there
is any method that can read labels. I am really sorry but I tried to
find answers to that in the tutorial.
I would like to read labels with such characters like čšž and not just
read pure numbers.

I have been using Python for a few months now and I am a
mathematician, so I have done some programming. It is true however
that I am not trained programmer. So please excuse dumb questions. But
I have fixed the code so far that I can read and print.
