ERROR "corrupted or not an OpenDocument archive"

[nnako]

Hi,

I get an error "corrupted or not an OpenDocument archive" when trying to run the tool on my Windows-7 machine.

This is what I did so far:

• cloned the sources from this website
• entered virtual environment for Python v2.7 on my machine
• added the modules manually using pip (installing with setup.py didn't work for me):
  • mistune v0.8.3
  • pillow v3.4.2
  • pygments v2.2.0
  • lpod-python v1.1.6
  • lxml v3.4.4
• start the application by issuing

python odpdown.py ^
   --break-master=<SlideName1> ^
   --content-master=<SlideName2> ^
   -s friendly ^
   <inputfile> ^
   <templatefile> ^
   <outputfile>

where the contents of the angular-bracketed params <inputfile> and <templatefile> were set to corresponding files found in the demo\ folder of the repo. After receiving the error message (see above), I thought, I made some errors, so I double checked everything and by that tried to solve this by e.g.:

• exporting a real template with the extension ".otp" from LibreOffice Impress
• changing the template's master folder names to plain ASCII (they included chars like "%20", before)
• ...

But no change. The error occurrs in row no. 798 of the odpdown.py file. when calling lpod.document.odf_get_document():

presentation = odf_get_document(odf_in)

I checked odf_in to be the template's file name.

Any suggestions? Might the OpenDocument specification change and thus break this tool?

Thanks.

Well, after three hours debugging I can suggest the fix. Here parser.add_argument('template_odp', type=argparse.FileType('r'), help='Input ODP template file') parser.add_argument('output_odp', type=argparse.FileType('w'), help='Output ODP file') replace r with rb and w with wb, with r it incorrectly reads presentation file, and thus it can't be parsed by zipfile library.
