Corrupted profile pictures (Windows)

[sakya]

The contact_getProfilePicture call downloads a corrupted jpeg (I tried with almost every contact I have in whatsapp). I'm using the module on Windows with python 2.6.4

this is impossible

Why it's impossible? Here's an image downloaded with contact_getProfilePicture that at least can be viewed (the others cannot be even opened) http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/gbei5.jpg

because whole Wazapp project working on Yowsup and pictures are always correct. This can be only problem on your side, nothing related to Yowsup.

Did you try the module on Windows? Maybe it's os related. What problem should I have "on my side"? I just call the method and wait for the callback, and the file that is downloaded is that.

[CODeRUS]

even if it OS or Py version related its cant be related to Yowsup anyway. in every way you can debug it and investigate where problem. is you developer or not?

Ok, thanks for your help. I thought a bug tracking system was to submit bugs.

To save the image the file must be opened for binary output "wb". This fix the problem.

def createTmpFile(self, identifier ,data):
    tmpDir = "/tmp"

    filename = "%s/wazapp_%i_%s" % (tmpDir, randrange(0,100000) , hashlib.md5(identifier).hexdigest())

    tmpfile = open(filename, "wb")
    tmpfile.write(data)
    tmpfile.close()

    return filename

I'd also suggest to use tempfile.gettempdir() to get the temporary dir instead of the hard coded /tmp. It should return /tmp on linux (probably also on Harmattan) and the current user temporary dir on windows.
