| Jul 16, 2018 at 1:23 | comment | added | user54541 | Also on the website, I get the same error as Tschallacka and jpmc26. I have no idea what's causing that, but it might be Python 3 again. | |

There are a lot of things that don't work. First of all, in Python 3, there have to be parentheses with print. It was easy enough to edit the source files to add those, but then it said it couldn't find urllib2 and StringIO. I tried to remove those import lines. Then it gave me an error saying BeautifulSoup required to format dataTry `easy_install beautifulsoup` . I tried easy_install beautifulsoup, but that apparently doesn't work with Python 3. So I searched on the web and tried easy_install beautifulsoup4, but that didn't get the error about dataTry to disappear.

Nathan actually hosts it.. he was using the alias "George Edison" for a while and since he changed his username back to Nathan I thought it would be confusing

@GeorgeDuckett You can pass the -t option to specify questions or answers or comments. I'm pretty sure you can only do one at a time though.

@Pureferret It's been a long time since I've done anything in Python. Have you tried using regular beautifulsoup instead of beautifulsoup4? Their home page implies that they might not be cross-compatible.

@mark I've installed BeautifulSoup4 and I keep getting BeautifulSoup required to format dataTry 'easy_install beautifulsoup' when I try to run it on http://scifi.stackexchange.com/. What am I doing wrong?

| Jun 2, 2011 at 10:48 | comment | added | Mark Rushakoff | @George: I've put the updated code on code.launchpad.net/~mark.rushakoff/flackoverstow/0.2 ... I'm having issues with bzr/launchpad. I'd like to add you as an authorized user to the project (can't find the option), or at least maybe get the github equivalent of a pull request from you. Failing that, can I get a diff patch from you for the 2.4 fixes? | |
| Jun 1, 2011 at 22:05 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @Mark: Also, if maintaining the project on Launchpad is too hard, I would be glad to join the project and patch a few things here and there. Before I forget, we created a chat room for no other reason than posting funny things from this app - transcript here. | |
| Jun 1, 2011 at 22:04 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @Mark: Great! Question... would it be possible to somehow support Python 2.4 with this application? With a bit of hacking and tweaking, I was able to get it working in Python 2.4 (you can even try it out on my website using the link I put in your question above). The reason I ask is because it would be awesome if I could keep up to date with your releases simply by copying the files to my website - which unfortunately is stuck using Python 2.4. | |
| Jun 1, 2011 at 16:52 | comment | added | Mark Rushakoff | @Jeff and @George: I've updated the downloads on Google Code so that it uses API version 1.0, and so that you can specify any Stack Exchange site. I'm having trouble with SSH here at work, so I'll update Launchpad from home sometime in the near future. | |

| Jun 1, 2011 at 10:52 | comment | added | Mark Rushakoff | @Jeff: I haven't been online much lately. I'll put some effort into updating the API version, and I don't think I'll host it on Launchpad anymore either. More likely to be Google Code, perhaps over my lunch break today. | |

@Kevin Montrose, @Mark Rushakoff: with api version 0.9 gone, the script is broken; however, it Works just as well with 1.0, you just need to change the version in grabber.py on line 36 (and I can't push that change to Launchpad).

@George: That's documented in the Code heading of the post. The only thing it's doing is converting HTML entities to text... I haven't done a terrible amount of research on it, but I'd be open to a replacement, as long as it can convert whatever entities are thrown at it.

I'm not on my current installation... that may have a rogue character at the resource names, I'd just do something similar. You can't do this at version 2.0, service packs notwithstanding.
