Installing on WebFaction #31

Closed feesh closed 7 years ago

feesh commented 7 years ago

Hi there!

I'm trying to get this hosted on WebFaction so I can share the archive viewer with my team, but am running into the following problem. Is there a way I can fork the viewer to not use the local Python 2.6, if that's the problem?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/apiq/bin/slack-export-viewer", line 7, in <module>
    from slackviewer.main import main
  File "/home/apiq/lib/python2.6/slackviewer/main.py", line 8, in <module>
    from slackviewer.archive import \

Python 2.6 is indeed problematic because it does not support dict comprehensions. I'm assuming you're using CentOS 7. Do you have Python 2.7 installed as well? What method did you use to install slack-export-viewer?

Python 2.7 is installed also, but I can't seem to get it to use that explicitly.

... actually you're totally right, looking back at the install steps I took, I used 2.6 to install pip. Re-doing it with 2.7 it works. Thank you! :)
