Hi Dan,
This is the story telling in my failed attempt of using toIcal.py.
Maybe I make a mistake at the start, but this is to share my way of
going through errors following my nose.
I was trying to use toIcal.py
from http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/toIcal.py
And I got this error message
% python toIcal.py rdf-calendar.rdf > lastcall.ics
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "toical.py", line 51, in <module>
from myStore import Namespace, load, setStore # http://
www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/
ImportError: No module named myStore
I have done on my computer
w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap [16:32:11]% cvs update -dP .
and try to use the program from the pim directory itself. Same problem.
hmmm I see…
w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap [16:32:11]% find . -name "*myStore*"
./myStore.html
./myStore.py
./myStore.pyc
Which means there are dependencies on modules which are on
directories above. Not good, because swap is not something installed
in Python libraries.
I added in toIcal.py
import sys
sys.path.append('/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap')
and then ran the program again
% python toIcal.py rdf-calendar.rdf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "toIcal.py", line 56, in <module>
from fromIcal import iCalendarDefs # http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/
ImportError: No module named fromIcal
I went to the page RDF Calendar Workspace
http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/
And I see in the page this program
http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/fromIcal.py
I decide to copy it in local.
% curl -o fromIcal.py http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/fromIcal.py
and try again
% python toIcal.py rdf-calendar.rdf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "toIcal.py", line 56, in <module>
from fromIcal import iCalendarDefs # http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/
File "/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/Team/karl/ongoing/lastcall/
fromIcal.py", line 67, in <module>
import XMLWriter
ImportError: No module named XMLWriter
eeek another missing module. :)
hmmmm XMLWriter is another module in the cal directory
%curl -o XMLwriter.py http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/XMLWriter.py
and try again.
% python toIcal.py rdf-calendar.rdf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "toIcal.py", line 56, in <module>
from fromIcal import iCalendarDefs # http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/
File "/Users/karl/test/fromIcal.py", line 68, in <module>
from icslex import unbreak, parseLine, unesc, recurlex
ImportError: No module named icslex
hmmmm ok I think I have to download the full directory. This is easy
for me, but not necessary for people outside of W3C. There is no tar.gz
% cvs co WWW/2002/12/cal/
cvs.bin checkout: Updating WWW/2002/12/cal
...
I add the sys.path to the initial program: toIcal.py
import sys
sys.path.append('/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap')
sys.path.append('/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/2002/12/cal')
And try again
% python toIcal.py rdf-calendar.rdf
loading...file:/Users/karl/test/rdf-calendar.rdf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "toIcal.py", line 428, in <module>
else: main(sys.argv)
File "toIcal.py", line 404, in main
sts = load(addr)
File "/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap/myStore.py", line
159, in load
return _checkStore().load(uri, openFormula=openFormula,
contentType=contentType,
File "/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap/myStore.py", line
94, in _checkStore
import llyn # default
File "/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap/llyn.py", line 80,
in <module>
from formula import Formula, StoredStatement
File "/Users/karl/Sites/w3.org/WWW/2000/10/swap/formula.py", line 26
from __future__ import generators
SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of
the file
I gave up. Do you have any ideas to improve it?
I was thinking about writing in the comments of the program a link to
a Web page with all the required dependencies.
