missing files during install

[jani0417]

Downloading/unpacking odfpy>=0.9,<0.10 (from mwlib>=0.14.1->aardtools)
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement odfpy>=0.9,<0.10 (from mwlib>=0.14.1->aardtools)
Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external odfpy to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for odfpy>=0.9,<0.10 (from mwlib>=0.14.1->aardtools)
Storing debug log for failure in /home/jani/.pip/pip.log

same results with --allow-external odfpy (same error with pyPdf, but --allow-external and --allow-unverified worked with that)

Interesting... odfpy is a dependency of mwlib. Looks like it's just gone. Not in PyPi anymore and link at http://opendocumentfellowship.com/projects/odfpy to their source code repo http://odfpy.forge.osor.eu/ is dead.

I think odfpy is only necessary for the portion of mwlib that writes rendered articles to ODF document, which is not used in aardtools. I was able to install aardtools like this:

git clone https://github.com/pediapress/mwlib.git
cd mwlib
#edit setup.py - remove odfpy requirement
sudo apt-get install re2c
pip install cython
pip install -e .
pip install -e "git+git://github.com/aarddict/tools.git#egg=aardtools"

Going forward, wiki converter will be removed along with mwlib dependency (use mwcouch instead).

thanks!

everything went well, just needed "sudo pip install cython" to fix a permission error.

sudo pip install cython

that's only if you are installing system-wide, not in a virtualenv.
