What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. get SVN trunk of periscope on a QNAP TS559 (intel cpu) with python 2.7
2. cp BeautifulSoup-3.2.0/BeautifulSoup.py .periscope/plugins/
3. run periscope from cli: python periscope.py -l nl /Qmultimedia/series/

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

no output, no error. periscope.py immediately quits?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest svn on Qnap TS559 running NSLU2 (Optware)

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi,

periscope.py is the module source code.

The CLI python program is located in the /bin folder as shown here:
http://code.google.com/p/periscope/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fbin

you should execute python bin/periscope -l nl /Qmultimedia/series/

Otherwise, periscope has been tested with Python 2.6 and BeautifulSoup 3.1 (as 
provided by Ubuntu). I would be interested to know if it works with 
BeautifulSoup 3.2

Sorry about that, I was following a dutch howto at 
http://mar2zz.tweakblogs.net/blog/5934/open-source-periscope.html which 
mentions to run the module on its own. 

When I create an additional python script which uses the periscope.py module, 
it does work.

Ok, I've just read the howto and there are some things that aren't required. 
I'll contact the original poster to simplify the procedure.

The extra script is not needed, it basically does the same thing as the one in 
bin/periscope

And you don't have to give your language preference everytime, you can 
configure it in your .config file located usually under 
/home/<your_username>/.config/periscope
as explained here:
http://code.google.com/p/periscope/wiki/NautilusSupport

I'll close this bug
