Attached patch.

Google reports GNU/GPL v2. 
AFAIK, code and license.txt has always been BSD-like. 
I can't say if that would be compatible or not..
so this issues stays here until that is cleared up.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run make 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is something that builds and installs pydelicious.
Instead I get a bunch of errors. 

In fact, I'm not sure a Makefile is needed at all given that most python
modules use setup.py to do what the makefile is trying to do. Thoughts and
discussion are welcomed.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
makefile

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Call any of the functions which are based on dlcs_rss_request()i. e.
get_popular(), get_urlposts(), ...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

An empty list is returned as result. 

Debugging reveals that the links which are used by dlcs_rss_request() are 
broken.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I nede some like:   get_popular(vim+gvim)


Attached my app to get popular tags in shell

Perhaps this link can be added to the Links section of the project homepage?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Code up an app engine module complete with deps
2. Test locally - works ok
3. Deploy to app engine

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Everything seems to work fine on local test, but fails when deployed to
google app engine server. Sure it's something in the app engine
environment, but am new to python. Any pointers as to how to fix this would
be really appreciated. Many thanks.

This might save someone a min or 2.

sudo easy_install feedparser
sudo python setup.py install

any chance of easy_install pydelicious? :)

Python 2.5 now includes the elementTree module, so a fresh install of
python 2.5 should work right out of the box with pydelicious. This is not
currently the case as pydelicous thinks that elementTree only lives in one
place. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download pydelicious 
2. At the python prompt, try to import the module:

 In [1]: import pydelicious
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
This is version 0.5.0, svn rev 5.

Please provide any additional information below.
I've attached a patch which does a simple conditional import.

A large chunk of the pydelicious library - especially the API portion has 
no dependency on feedparser  (from what I can see the feedparser module is 
only used in dlcs_rss_request). However, because  the 'import feedparser' 
statement is within the module scope - the feedparser module is always 
required.

I was wondering if it be possible that we move the import feedparser 
statement to within the dlcs_rss_request function? I do think allowing for 
segments of pydelicious to be used with the minimal of dependencies, will 
make it an even more attractive library. What do you think?

Thanks for this excellent library.

Mohan

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fresh svn checkout from http://pydelicious.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
2. Notice that the elementtree and feedparser python modules are included
in the checkout

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect those libraries to be listed as dependencies, instead.  You
don't really want to track changes to those external libraries, do you?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a new del.icio.us account with a yahoo id.
2. Try to use pydelicious to save a new bookmark.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Bookmark to be added successfully.
Instead: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5.0.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fetch a bookmark with get_popular or other old API functions

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The tags field should have multiple tags. Instead it always has only one tag.

The file attached has the issue solved. For some reason e['categories'] was 
being used instead of e['tags'].

Is this how I'm suppose to submit issues?

Currently pydelicious handles errors like a C library; the functions return
values and the app is supposed to check them for error. Ie, "addPost"
returns True on success and something else on failure. This is unPythonic;
the code should be reworked to throw exceptions indicating failures. This
change will break some existing programs.

Currently this comment sits in the code:

{{{

 timeoutsocket allows feedparser to time out rather than hang forever on
ultra-slow servers. Python 2.3 now has this functionality available in the
standard socket library, so under 2.3 you don't need to install anything. 
But you probably should anyway, because the socket module is buggy and
timeoutsocket is better.

}}

Looking into this, finding mention at
http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/24457-timeoutsocket-py about the
integration on 2.3.

I hope to keep this compatible, even while this issue is quite old (~2001).

Also, it seems it may be a bit hard to get a up-to-date version of the package.
http://www.timo-tasi.org/python/timeoutsocket.py

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do a fresh checkout from http://pydelicious.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
2. Notice that __init__.pyc, elementtree/__init__.pyc, etc., are included
in version control

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I did not expect to have .pyc files included in version control.  Instead,
they were.

I am new to pydelicious. I am using ubuntu14.04. I have just installed it. 

[deleted issue]

Not strictly a problem but an issue to be resolved.

pydelicious.py uses spaces for indentation (mostly, but a quick look just
now shows its a mix... goodness...)

my own preference leans towards tabs, now used in tests/* and tools/*

*Votes for tabs or spaces please?* Or does the project owner which to have
veto right? :)

I vote for using tabs throughout all of the code.


mvrgr, Berend

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. pydelicious svn checkout or git-svn clone
2. virtualenv python 2.6, install pip
3. pip install -e /path/to/pydelicious (or easy_install)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I went for an svn checkout (git svn clone actually), because the download
links on PyPI for pydelicious did not work as of 2009-10-14.

pip -e (or easy_install) installs correctly, i.e. feedburner is pulled in
as dependency. When you attempt to import pydelicious, you get an error:

>>> import pydelicious
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pydelicious

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

pydelicious svn r53

Please provide any additional information below.

If you rename the directory src/ to pydelicious/ and also in setup.py
replace instances of "src" with "pydelicious", the problem goes away.

Thank you
Alberto

if one does a pydelicious.get("a", "b", count=3), for example, pydelicious 
throws an error, because it 
tries to get the list-subset from the enclosing dictionary:

if count != 0: posts = posts[0:count]

since posts is no list but a dict, this obviously doesn't work. the fix is as 
follows:
if count != 0: posts["posts"] = posts["posts"][0:count]

Hello,

In ver 0.5.2-rc1 (in contrast to version 0.5) the encoding is determined
via a call to locale.getpreferredencoding() unless its explicitly specified
in the DeliciousAPI constructor.

This however can results in an error because sometimes an empty string is
returned as the result. (I get this on my Mac OS X 10.5 machine using the
Apple provided python.) In pydelicious 0.5 the codec was defaulted to
'iso-8859-1' if not provided, hence I had no such issues. Maybe some sane
default or explicit error detection up front is required? Might save some
developer some debugging time :).

Just my 2 cents. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. import pydelicious
2. pydelicious.get_popular(tag='programming')
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A list of dictionary. But I see the next error message

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install feedparser
2. install pydelicious

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I want to see a dictionary of python tag.

In addition to the XML API that pydelicious supports, delicious also has a
JSON API for doing certain things:
http://del.icio.us/help/json/

Some of the functions are overlaps with what's in the XML, but some (like
url) are unique to JSON. None of the JSON functions seem to require
authentication, so it's pretty trivial to hack it up. The main value-add
would be choosing a JSON library so that delicious developers don't have to
think about that.

Before putting a lot of work into this it'd be nice to learn what the
development plans are for the delicious API.

It took me ages to figure out what was going on, but apparently when a bad 
username/password combination is given to pydelicious it will return a 
PyDeliciousThrottled exception, which is quite a bit misleading.

del.icio.us latest updates cause the following API path not to return any
XML data anymore:

 https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all

Perhaps this has something to do with the size of my posts list. 
*Can anyone confirm this?*

E.g.:

>>> pydelicious.get_all(user, passwd)
(raises expat exception since there is no XML data available)

-or-

>>> pydelicious.DeliciousAPI(user, passwd).posts_all(_raw=True).read()
'<!-- fe02.api.del.ac4.yahoo.net uncompressed/chunked Fri Aug  8 06:50:45
PDT 2008 -->\n'

Solution
It seems that from now on the the URL query parameter 'hashes' should be
used for this API function. This will return a posts list with md5sums for
URL's and some other hash for the metadata. I.e.

<posts><post meta="56e71db30dc5cd617db01d440c967808"
url="200305b637e4ce457dcc9af78359436b"/></posts>

With this data the post(s) can be retrieved using
posts/get?hashes=<md5sum>[+<md5sum>]

A new option to retrieve the meta hash is also provided.
I'm not clear on how the meta hash is made. Presumably it is the md5sum of
some notation of the post attributes. I'll contact del.icio.us about this.

I will adapt the DeliciousAPI class for the new options while I'm writing a
script that can synchronize bookmarks with a local MySQL database.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. $ python pydelicioustest.py
Username (hit return to skip api test):[username]
Passwd (hit return to skip api test):[password]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected test success. instead saw

Greg, L.S.,

Since i cannot reach the project owner directly i will propose here to take
over project maintenance.

Greg, I read somewhere that two years ago you did not want to take the code
but where forced to because the project initiator did not respond to email.
I have found the project here at Google code and have since given it my
share of love and care I hate to see that happen to this home.

I do not need nor want drastic changes, but do want to keep up an active
role here. There are enough good ideas and functionality still to be added. 

In the near future I intent to go futher on integrating the del.icio.us
feeds and extend dlcs (within or without this project). Among others, one
of the first this i want is to try to settle on one or more free-software
licenses for the codebase.

Please let me know your thoughts. Dropping me a line by email would be most
appreciated.


With warm regards, Berend

Due to the nature of the v1 version of the del.icio.us API (which uses https), 
you also need to set the https proxy, not only the http proxy when accessing 
the API.
My patch is attached; it will use the HTTP_PROXY environment variable and also 
set it for the https configuration.

Upon import:

/site-packages/pydelicious-0.5.2_rc2-py2.6.egg/pydelicious/__init__.py:27:
DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead


This is using Python 2.6.2 on Ubuntu 9.04.

By default pydelicious issues two http requests per API call. The first
call fails with the server sending back "401 Unauthorized", then urllib2
sends the request a second time with the authentication credentials. The
extra calls are inefficient. They also seem to trigger some rate limiting
in the delicious API servers that caused my program to break.

Below is a patch to just send all requests to Delicious with the
credentials in the Authorization: header even before Delicious gets around
to asking for it. I've verified this results in the first request working,
and my previously-throttled scripts are now working better.

As a bonus there's a second patch changing the error handling a bit.
Instead of returning 'False' on all errors, now it tries to return an error
string. pydelicious should be reworked to throw exceptions, but I'm too
lazy to do that now.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
pydelicious-0.5.2-rc1.zip

Please provide any additional information below.

in my system , which connects to the internet via a proxy , this code works


proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': 
'http://168.219.61.250:8080/'})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
response = urllib2.urlopen('http://python.org/')
html = response.read()
print html

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to install package using standard install
2. install by hand and then call get_popular
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
working code versus error messages

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
5 main branch on linux

Please provide any additional information below.
The dlcs_rss_request method is commented out when other code depends on it.
The installer has an intentional error raise with a debug switch on it.

Not trying to be a smartass, but you might want to consider putting some
branches in the svn for development work. Or, at the very least, if there
are previous versions of the code that work, put them here.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a unicode string (e.g. for description)
2. Convert the unicode object to str with django's smart_str utility
3. Call posts_add

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: successful posting to delicious.

Instead: UnicodeDecodeError as pydelicious tries to encode the, already UTF-8 
string into UTF-8

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.5.0 on Apple Snow Leopard

Please provide any additional information below.

Recreating with just the django shell command line:

>>> title = u'Carniv\xe0le'
>>> print title.encode('utf-8')
Carnivàle
>>> print smart_str(title)
Carnivàle
>>> print smart_str(title).encode('utf-8') # how pydelicious currently tries to 
handle the data
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6: ordinal 
not in range(128)

Fix:

Attached, but I just added a new class variable: "encoded" which defaults to 
False. If calling users sets to "True" then the encoding step is skipped. It'd 
probably be more ideal to somehow check the encoding state of the data.

diffed:
def __init__(self, user, passwd, codec='iso-8859-1', 
api_request=dlcs_api_request, xml_parser=dlcs_parse_xml, encoded=False):
…
self.encoded = encoded
…
if not self.encoded:
    for key in params:
        params[key] = params[key].encode(self.codec)

I guess this is as good a place as any to discuss:

some major rewriting of the API class. Encoding seems to work here (UTF-8).
I've been using/editing it for a while now so I'm not sure what exactly has
changed compared to the old DeliciousAPI class. What did change is that all
api functions now parse the result XML to a dicts-n-lists (JSON like
structure) or (optionally) just return the file-handle (wrapped in
urllib.addinfourl) to parse the response yourself. The 'convenience'
methods on the module (apiNew(), etc) should still work alike, but the
return value may be changed.

Didn't touch RSS and JSON api stuff (yet?), in fact I commented some RSS
code out since it didn't seem to be working? Also changed source code to
ASCII, etc. etc. Still work to be done.

Is there any interest here in my work? I've also written a simple
command-line utility to work with the bookmark collection from terminal;
rename tags, bundle, find posts, print as JSON, etc. I use it a lot. Handy
for import/export, batches, etc.

I'll attach the diff (pydelicious.py only) between de SVN checkout and my
local code. Not sure how I can check this in but if there's any interest
I'm sure this can be figured out.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. clean Amazon instance with Python 2.6.6
2. sudo easy_install pydelicious
3. dlcs -u <username>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6, Python 2.6.6, CentOS 5.x

Please provide any additional information below.

There should be a downloadable version of pydelicious. A simple .tar.gz
pacakge will do.
