Hmm, maybe contact Daft as Brush? He worked with Python when he made Goo editors...

This is the problem?

There's a fix for this, but for which operating system do you need it?

It had completely slipped my mind that Debian Squeeze was an actual OS. :3

Anyway, seems you need Python-XML installed. Here's a search:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-xml

No problem. Just keeping you in line here.

See, python-xml isn't listed as available for Squeeze, I think it's outdated or something.

From further searching I can tell you, yes, it's outdated. There's no version available for Squeeze anywhere. You may have to change your API.

python-lxml

from lxml import etree
instead of
from xml import xpath
And some changes to code needed

I can try to look at the code

or you can install python-xml from oldstable Package: python-xml (0.8.4-10.1+lenny1)
which needs python 2.5

you must add a line for oldstable in /etc/apt/souces.list
copy the one with stable and change to oldstable
(if you do not know this allerady)

which makes the problem to hide until Debian 7.0

OK, just so you guys know I know NOTHING of all this stuff. But I did a bit of Googling and this looks like it could be helpful. This also seems related to the issue.

Sorry I can't help more, hope this does at all.

Sweet! Send those links to David.

Get something here with IronPython 2.7.1:

>>> import xml
>>> from xml import xpath
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import xpath from xml
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'xml']

IronPython can import .NET types directly, I don't know if it works on your device.

By the way, why couldn't I visit this website few hours ago?

Drupal was saying something about the site being disconnected from its database? IDK.

IDK either. All davidc said on the chat about it was "that was odd".

It was pretty weird, but it was probably just a minor server failure or the like. In any case I'm glad it's back up

EDIT: Oh, and I emailed David. Hoping for a reply before too long.

He told me that his MySQL was misbehaving...

So does all this have anything to do with the leaderboards being annoying?

Please don't double post, momo - but instead edit your previous post.

I think this thread has been asleep long enough for me to double post. This is something quite important if you hadn't noticed. And wiki, if something is wrong with me double posting a mod will tell me, thank you very much.

Yes, wiki, you're not a mod, so please don't act like one. 8 days is a reasonable timespan to wait before bumping a thread.

I don't think the MySQL problem has anything to do with the leaderboard issues, as the leaderboard parsing problem is because of XML errors, not SQL errors. I have seen davidc pushing changes to GooTool's svn recently, though, so he might possibly be working on the leaderboard problems as well. No guarantees.

That would be cool. Not that I have anything special to upload!

Actually, I'm pretty sure editing a post bumps it too (on this forum). Although double-posting is still OK after such a long time.

I've been recoding the leaderboards in PHP today. It's mostly done now, just needs some anti-DoS protection, and generation of the main leaderboard images, so it'll be live 'soon'.

In related news, with these changes I just made the 500th commit to goofans' SVN repository! \o/

hey davidc, haven't seen you in a while!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i am glad the leaderboards are almost up. It has been a long time. thanks for stoping by!

Haha! Sounds great! That was a big part of the site before.

That looks good!

Like you dunno why I'm doing this... By the way better would be if you DIDN'T double post - it would make more sence and people would better understand you. You could have wrote like:

But lets not discuss this... Either from now on I'm not double posting - no matter what reason (It's still the same - words )

GREAT!!!

You used up more space by attempting to correct me.

I just edited momo1526's post above (added a space at the end) to see if it would bump the topic. It didn't. Double-posting is the only way to do so. End of argument.

Well, maybe it doesn't bump the thread, but I'm almost positive that it adds the "1 new message" to the Tracker and forums. Which is kind of like bumping.
In any case, let's say that double-posting is fine for the purpose of thread bumping.

About the leaderboards news... AWESOME! Hope to see them back up soon!
