issues with less

[zachcp]

Hello hyde developers,

I just downloaded the Hyde/docs as a test site (good looking - so a good place to start!). I also download the lessc binary and place it in the hyde-docs root directory. When I run 'hyde -v gen ' I get an error that I an not sure how to troubleshoot and I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this:

12:40:44 hyde.engine.LessCSSPlugin Calling executable [/home/test/Projects/05_Web_Dev/hyde-docs/lessc] with arguments [u'/var/folders/wk/wkcy6OjjFEWw6J9lUJcZCE+++TM/-Tmp-/tmp2FdD0m', u'/var/folders/wk/wkcy6OjjFEWw6J9lUJcZCE+++TM/-Tmp-/tmpBhZeZJ'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/hyde", line 9, in load_entry_point('hyde==0.8.5a15', 'console_scripts', 'hyde')() File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/main.py", line 10, in main Engine().run() File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/engine.py", line 39, in run super(Engine, self).run(args) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/commando.py", line 198, in run args.run(self, args) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/engine.py", line 118, in gen gen.generate_all(incremental=incremental) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/generator.py", line 205, in generate_all self.generate_node(self.site.content, incremental) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/generator.py", line 303, in generate_node self.generate_resource(resource, incremental) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/generator.py", line 339, in generate_resource resource, text) or text File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/plugin.py", line 47, in call_plugins res = function(*args) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/ext/plugins/less.py", line 110, in text_resource_complete self.call_app(args) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/hyde-0.8.5a15-py2.6.egg/hyde/plugin.py", line 392, in call_app subprocess.check_output(args) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'check_output'

I will try to get around this by using the css files as-is and removing the lessc but it would be nice to know how to use less with hyde for the long term.

thanks zach cp

@zachcp - hyde requires python 2.7.x.

Alternatively, If you merge this in your fork or local repo you can get it to work with 2.6: https://github.com/hyde/hyde/pull/151
