Problems with installation

[marttt]

Hi, I'm on Debian and Python 2.7. After doing sudo python setup.py install and trying to run greg, I got this error:

File "/usr/local/bin/greg", line 19, in <module>
from greg.gregparser import main 
ImportError: No module named greg.gregparser

I tried running greg.py from the /greg/greg folder, but that gave another error:

File "greg.py", line 185
    print (feed, end=" ")
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Also, I had to add # coding=utf-8 to both setup.py and then to /usr/local/bin/greg. Without this, I got the following error:

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file setup.py on line 8, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Here's my entire log:

Thanks for any help!

Based on the readme, it appears to be a perfect tool for me, though. So another thanks for your effort! :)

I understand now that this is a Python 3 issue. All end = " " statements need to be replaced with a ,. Also, urllib causes problems. I tried replacing it with urllib2, got no errors in the end, but unfortunately greg didn't run (nothing happened after running it). Could you please make it Python 2.7 compatible? Thanks very much!

Hi, marttt,

I'll look into making it compatible with Python 2. It shouldn't be terribly difficult. Stay tuned :)

[marttt]

Great, thanks very much!

[manolomartinez]

I'm sorry, as it's probably apparent, I haven't quite found the time to make greg Py2-compatible. I'll close it as wontfix, for now. If my schedule frees a bit, I might reopen it in the future.

[marttt]

Ok, thanks for letting know; this makes perfect sense. I've Python 3 installed by now, too. And there probably aren't too many Python 2 "purists" left these days.

Hi! It might be a good idea to include compatibility information in the README, since only on pypi are categories visible next to the readme.

[manolomartinez]

Hi, would you mind opening a new issue for this?

Anyway. that's what I hoped the "written in Python 3" was doing. Not so?

[winny-]

Oh wow, how did I miss that? Never mind, that's pretty much what I was asking for. :+1:
