I think the pyload package is broken (and some other python questions)

[scaramanga]

Hi Joao,

I wanted to take pyload for a spin, but it seems like the package installation is failing.
The package content itself seems to install without a problem. That was the confusing part, since it added the daemon configuration page. However, there was no daemon.
It seems that github moved the source file location, so the postinst script doesn't complete successfully.

While I was looking at this, I noticed that the python installation didn't include pip.
It was easy enough (trivial, in fact) to [url=https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html]do that manually[/url], but was wondering why wasn't it included to begin with, or maybe as an additional package.

As always, thank you for all your hard work.

It must have been some glitch, I installed it just now:

Then it displays an error, "You have to configure pyLoad first", but that is expected, and it succeeds at the end.

After configuring and starting it I was able to access its web interface. As with all python-based packages there is a big initial delay after starting before it could be used.

I have not used it to download anything...

Please try again

There are so many Python packages and extensions... only what comes on the base python tarball is made available.

You are right, a 'mkdir -p /Alt-F/opt' is missing in the install script.

Users who already have any of couchpotato, couchpotato2, nzbgetweb, sabnzbd or sickbeard installed will not notice the issue.

Fixed and uploaded to sourceforge, please test it.

Thanks

[scaramanga]

Oh yeah, I saw that /opt referenced in the script.
After updating the package list the installation went through. Thank you!

Btw, regarding /opt: Seems like an odd place to install this package to. Why is that? Some optware/entware convention?

I put in /opt all "programs" that are downloaded at install time, not built and tested by me.

These are generally python/html/js scripts.
