Problem with fetching WSJ - 3.5.0

stualden · 08-02-2017, 07:27 PM

I've been successfully fetching the WSJ (paid version) each morning. But when I upgraded to 3.5.0 (Windows 64-bit), the fetch always fails. The key message in the log appears to be

ImportError: No module named html5parser

I tried a repair install, but got no change. What else should I try? Anybody else having similar trouble?

Thanks,

--Stu

See the recipes forum; it's caused by a typo in calibre and is fixed in the next release of calibre.

Thank you. I just installed 3.6.0, and the error is now

ValueError: Failed to login (auth URL failed), check username and password

However, the wsj.com site is up, I haven't changed my username and password, and the download schedule parameters all appear to be intact. A new bug? Thanks.

I dont think so, that part of the code should not be affected by calibre version at all. Hard to say though as I dont have a wsj subscription.

Yeah, I've used calibre for maybe 3/4 years, but just recently started subscribing to WSJ. It work 3 or 4 days then wouldn't work:

calibre, version 3.5.0 (win32, embedded-python: True)
Conversion error: Failed: Fetch news from The Wall Street Journal

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it>

From my mediocre computer knowledge, it looks like the WSJ is blocking it?
I got the error on multiple versions of calibre.

It can be any computer along the network path between your computer and the WSJ servers, including your computer itself (which can happen if an antivirus/firewall software decides calibre is a virus).
