Cannot get plugin to work in gedit - Version 3.14.3 (Fedora21 Testing)

[anhsirksai]

I tried to setup reST plugin on Fedora21.
python version available: Python 3.4.1

Steps followed :

clone source and switch to gedit-3.14 branch

https://github.com/bittner/gedit-reST-plugin.git

Install dependencies :

pygments:
pip install pygments

docutils: (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/README.html#installation)
git clone git://repo.or.cz/docutils.git
cd docutils/docutils ; python3 setup.py install

odtwriter : could not find the source for this.

copy reST.plugin and reST/ into the path for edit plugins in fedora21:

/usr/lib64/gedit/plugins

start gedit from terminal and load the plugin. I get the following error on terminal :

[saikrishna@localhost plugins]$ gedit
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/gedit/plugins/reST/init.py", line 22, in
from .restructuredtext import RestructuredtextHtmlPanel

from docutils.core import publish_parts

class ApplicationError(StandardError):
NameError: name 'StandardError' is not defined

(gedit:12392): libpeas-WARNING **: Error loading plugin 'reST'

Please suggest.

This seems to be an issue with docutils.

I see you're using docutils off the repository (development version). Can you try installing the package that your Linux distribution provides? (see http://pkgs.org/download/python-docutils, for example)
The version of docutils on the Debian system I'm using for issue #6 is docutils==0.12, Python version there is 3.4.2. That combination is working for the plugin.

Then, try generating HTML from a reST file from command line. Does it work?

Hi Bittner,

I have set it up successfully on my debian wheezy machine successfully. I am no longer going to test it on fedora any time soon. May be you may want to abandon this issue since I could not confirm you on further status! The other choice that made me abandon fixing this issue is https://github.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc. setting up markdown-toc is just running a script with and I am really happy the way it is working.

Thanks,

Thanks for letting me know, @anhsirksai.

Sorry, I don't understand what the github-markdown-toc project has to do with reStructuredText and the Gedit plugin.

I have added about that just to notify about a feature request(if possible)
for gedit-reST-plugin. the github-markdown-toc plugin has a shell script
which when run, will install the plugin and I felt it is easy to use
without much of a hassle.

I haven't done a comparative study on functioning of both these plugins
yet. So I have nothing to comment on working of either plugin.

Thank you,
--sai krishna.
