Man, you're fast. I'll open a ticket now. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kovid,

can't reach your site.

Got maybe a new bug here:

Tried to search a book called "Die Straßen". Error was displayed after typing the "ß"-character.

Quote:

'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdf' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "libprs500/gui2/library.pyo", line 689, in text_edited_slot
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdf' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

Will open a ticket as soon as I can reach your site.

Ohmigosh! This is cool software - so much easier to use than Connect. I absolutely love it.
I mean the Libprs500 - haven't even figured out how to install Book Designer program.

kovidgoyal · 10-08-2007, 04:17 PM

Thanks :-)

MissLissa · 10-09-2007, 10:45 PM

This may be a very basic question - but I know that it is a work in progress - so was wondering if there are updates I need to load or if it's automatic.

Thanks!

kovidgoyal · 10-09-2007, 10:48 PM

There are periodic updates, about once a week. You just have to re-download and run the installer.

digiman · 10-10-2007, 01:01 AM

Thanks kovidgoyal. I upgraded the Qt, PyQt, and SIP and it all worked out.

Kovid: I have some time and I want to try to solve the time/date problem on Debian Lenny. I've installed the latest release, but I can't find where easy_install put the installed books.py and library.py files. They're in the .egg file only even after installation?

kovidgoyal · 10-12-2007, 06:32 PM

Yeah they're in the egg file. If you want to work on the source follow the development instructions at

https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/wiki/Development

iacchi · 10-12-2007, 06:34 PM

Since you're online: it reports errors on books.py and library.py, but in the egg I can only find books.pyc and library.pyc, and they're binary!

kovidgoyal · 10-12-2007, 06:36 PM

Yeah the egg only contains compile versions of the py files for size reasons. You have to check out from svn.

iacchi · 10-12-2007, 06:48 PM

I get this error:

Code:

iacopo@hp:~/libprs500$ sudo python setup.py develop
