Error "split() takes no keyword arguments" on new install about greg

[manolomartinez]

Hello, does this happen when you try to download any entry in any podcast, or just for one particular case? If the latter, could you please post the actual podcast and entry that is misbehaving?

Thanks,
Manolo

Hi, The error happens with all podcasts, including the example PhilosophyBites.

I have a dev and prod machine. I upgraded Dev from Wheezy to Jessie, which also upgraded Python to Python 3.4.2. That seems to have fixed the problem.

I still have the issue on prod, hopefully I can upgrade that next week. If that fixes it I'll update and close this.

Cheers,
Mal

You could try what happens if you remove the sep= from the function call (just "," remaining between ())
https://github.com/manolomartinez/greg/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=.split%28sep
Those need to be adjusted

[manolomartinez]

Sorry, I see now that the error was about split() taking no keyword arguments. What was your python version, before the upgrade? I thought split() understood sep since 3.x, but I might be wrong about that, of course.

EDIT: You did say that your previous python was 3.2.3. Sorry again!

[Narrat]

Changed inbetween the 3.x line
3.2.x is using the old syntax

Edit: With 3.3.0 it changed

[manolomartinez]

Huh, thanks @Narrat. I should say as much in the README, then.

[Narrat]

Well, the call to split could also be changed. .split(",") is working, no need to explicit call on that (dunno if I missed sth)

Hi, I tried changing

160 single_arg = single_arg.translate({32: None})  # eliminates spaces
161     for group in single_arg.split(sep=","):
162         if not("-" in group):
163             list_of_feeds.append(group)
164         else:
165             extremes = group.split(sep="-")

to

    single_arg = single_arg.translate({32: None})  # eliminates spaces
    for group in single_arg.split(","):
        if not("-" in group):
            list_of_feeds.append(group)
        else:
            extremes = group.split("-")

Then I ran "greg check -f PhilosophyBites", which returned a list of episodes, as expected.
But I got the error:

greg $ greg download 1
... something went wrong.Are you sure your last greg check went well?

I tried changing every instance of split(sep="x") to split("x") with the same result.

Cheers.

I will look into it, but if it's still a 3.2 / 3.4 thing, and there are many changes to be made, I think it'll be most sensible to be forthcoming about the python versions that greg will work with.

Thanks Manolo,
I upgraded my prod machine to Jessie and Python 3.4.2 which has fixed this for me. So I'm going to close this issue.

Greg is doing exactly what I wanted it to do, so thanks for putting it together. And thanks to for the active support.

Cheers.

Mal.
