Hacks Beta Testers: Kindle Visual Guide [KindlePID] - Page 11

It looks like Python3.0 may be a problem. I had a syntax error message pop up.

Edit: From the Python 3.0 download page

Quote:

Python 3.0 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a new version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed. Also, the standard library has been reorganized in a few prominent places.

Did you press enter after typing the "y" on the last line there? There is no further prompt under it?

If you would like I could webex into your machine to see what is going on.

Daff... in the screen shot she shows, there is no response to the script name... which is telling me she isn't running it. There should be some type of response and then the DOS prompt again.

I thought the response was the error message in the right lower corner saying that ***kindlepid.py is not a valid win32 application.

After some Google searching, it could be a corrupted kindlepid file. Deleting and re-downloading igorsks files may help.

Try typing:

cd \python26 [press enter]
python --version [press enter]
python kindlepid.py[press enter]

Show me a print screen of those commands and their results.

Can you change into the directory that has the kindlepid file in it, and run the

python kindlepid.py

command again.

Do you know what the cd command does?

Do you know what the prompt indicates?

It looks like that was done in post #158. It's the last command in the DOS box. There is an error message below the command.

Right, the error message was that the script file couldn't be found. When you pass the file name into python that script is expected to be in the current directory unless you specify a path. I think she said she had in it the scripts folder. So, that message was totally expected.

Either she needs to run that command from c:\python26\scripts as the current dir or she needs to run the command specifying the path to the file like:

python \python26\scripts\kindlepid.py
