Queries on contribtuing and a few errors

[Kumar Prasun]

Hey everybody,
I'm a beginner to open source projects but am interested in contributing for quepy. I've made a small pull request to fix a few typos in the tutorial doc (PR #38).


While going through the installation example ( and a slight confusion regarding quepy.py and quepy), I encountered the following error while trying to run -

$ quepy startapp dbpedia

  ...
 
  File "/home/testsubjector/code/github_python/quepy/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/quepy-0.2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/quepy", line 261, in <module>
   
  File "/home/testsubjector/code/github_python/quepy/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/quepy-0.2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/quepy", line 115, in startapp
   
IOError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/home/testsubjector/code/github_python/quepy/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/quepy-0.2-py2.7.egg/quepy/settings.py'

I worked around the problem by extracting setting.py manually, but I want to know the origin of the problem.


Also, while trying to run the example (the Tom Cruise one), I got the following error

Resource u'taggers/averaged_perceptron_tagger/averaged_perceptron_tagger.pickle' not found.  Please use the NLTK Downloader to obtain the resource:  >>> nltk.download()

Replacing  the resource maxent_treebank_pos_tagger in the nltk folder with averaged_perceptron_tagger fixed the issue. Apparently this has do with perceptron tagger becoming the default POS tagger from NLTK ver3.2 ( https://github.com/nltk/nltk/pull/1143 ).  I think this change should also be reflected in the quepy code.

So I've made another commit to my PR,
changing

quepy.py startapp dbpedia

to

quepy startapp dbpedia

I would like to have some feedback and a bit of guide, on how to proceed to any other changes in the project.

Regards,
Kumar Prasun
