PyYIMt Latest CVS

[Vishal]

Hi Norman

When i try to update to the latest PyYIMt Latest CVS version i get the
following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\yahoo-t-0.4\yahoo.py", line 3, in <module>
version = 'CVS ' + '$Revision$'.split()[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

I have also updated the xmpp files. Can you kindly suggest the
workaround? Older cvs version is working fine on the server

Thanks
Vishal

Looks like you got it out of GIT, not CVS. I commented out that
"version = [...]" line at the top of yahoo.py and replaced it with:

version = 'git'

I just downloaded PyYIMt from http://github.com/normanr/yahoo-transport
and when I tried to run it I got the same error. I commented out the
the version line and it started without the error message.
#version = 'CVS ' + '$Revision$'.split()[1]

What I wonder is if this is the git version why does the version say
CVS?

I had to make the same change in my version a while back, but I had
forgotten about it until I saw the commit in my local brach yesterday.

I know Git discourages keyword expansion, and will only perform it if
the file has the `keywords' attribute set. I expect `CVS' is left
over from when this code was originally hosted in CVS.

This is now fixed on github (for yahoo and irc).

It reads .git/refs/heads/master and uses that as the version.  This isn't 100% right (it should read .git/HEAD and follow the ref, but it's good enough for now)
