In the Chnagelog for Ver. 0.4 it says "Set minimal Python version to 2.6, but 3.2-3.3 also works well." But in the setup.py they have mentioned against 'Programming Language::' Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3. I'll try in different machine and let you know. I just did the following from the directory 'astm-0.5.0' ( as untarred from the tarball from the website) $ chmod 777 setup.py $ ./setup.py You need to provide a bit more detailed info on what you are > doing and what specific issues you want help with. > Let me explain. The biochemistry analyzer Cobas C311 can be made to configure in a full-duplex mode in which it accepts the 'Patient_ID' and reads the tests to be done and performs them and again it sends the results to the Host machine. For the time being, we need the second part. Only data acquisition from the analyzer. The program will just acquire the data from the analyser and store it in a CSV file.(to be incorporated to an existing Oracle database) The Python ASTM looks promising with its objectives: 1. Provide decoder ASTM data to Python objects and encode them back to valid ASTM messages. 2. Provide ability to *create your own ASTM client and server applications *followed by common specification routines. 3. *Provide ready-to-use “drivers” for various ASTM-driven analysers*, middlewares and other software or hardware solutions. But I need some solid example to start off with. And if it is *'ready to use'* then what is the syntax. I don't seem to find any usage examples. For example, what is to be done for starting data acquisition. Then comes manipulation. Even if I manage to get some bits of meaningful information transferred from the machine, it makes sense. Though there are some examples in the 'OmniLab' section, I can't figure out what to do with them. *Albert* Maybe it's setuptools that is too old? Or perhaps pip? > sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade python-setuptools python-pip > > I believe it's safer to install Python packages via apt-get if you are > using the Linux internal Python, rather than using pip. > I have not installed through pip. I just gave the setup script 777 permission and run it with ./setup.py . How do I do it with apt-get? I don't think it's in repository. Pls let me know. On 13 November 2015 at 09:55, Br.
