Japan Times recipe broken?

[markvdvelde]

The Japan Times recipe was update some days ago. In the "old" recipe I could replace the main feed with the sub feeds for News & Business and for Features. (I'm not interested in all the Sport stories). Now Calibre says: 'tuple' object is not callable. I have no idea what that means. My mistake or a bug?

Does the updated recipe run without your changes?

Yes, it does. But as soon as I replace the feed, it won't even save the recipe.

That error indicates you have a syntax error in your updated recipe.

In cases like these, it would be helpful to post the modification you've made.

If i modify the recipe like this:

    feeds             = [(u'News & Business', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/japantimes_news'),
                         (u'Features', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/japantimes_features')]

no error is shown.

But furthermore, the addresses of these feeds have a slightly different format. You have to modify print_version like this

    def print_version(self, url):
        return url.replace('/rss/','/print/')

Great, that worked! I must have made some mistake, although I regularly change or delete some sub-feeds.
Thanks a lot
