Installing from .tar.gz

For now, installing pyrfeed from .tar.gz need few command lines for installations. If you don't like command line, just wait for another release.

Requierements to use pyrfeed :

python 2.5 (python 2.4 will perhaps be supported in the futur)
wxPython 2.8 (aui support is needed)

Actions :

Download the .tar.gz file
Uncompress it in the folder/directory you like
start a command line interpreter (cmd under windows, bash/tcsh/whateversh under unices, idontevenknow under macos)
Go to that folder/directory with command line (use "cd")

Note : For now, every pyrfeed command must be launched from the directory where pyrfeed.py is.

Tell pyrfeed your google login/passwd (of course, replace yourlogin and yourpasswd with your login and your password):

pyrfeed.py --login=yourlogin --passwd=yourpasswd --save

You're behing a web proxy ? Just tell pyrfeed...

pyrfeed.py --proxy_host=yourproxyhost --proxyport=yourproxyport --save

Now pyrfeed is ready to launch ! That's that simple.

To launch pyrfeed, just go to the folder/directory where pyrfeed.py is, and start it.

Note : pyrfeed is by default configure to start in GoogleCache mode, and with wxauiInterface. You can change userinterface and logical layer with command line option, or within pyrfeed.

In the intervening years wx windows has changed their API for talking to to ActiveX controls. I guess the events used to be embedded into the wx.lib.iewin class but now they are elsewhere...

Anyway... what needs to happen is that pyrfeed needs to move to wx's new activeX convention... but in the meantime there's a quick hack fix. In trunk/pyrfeed/src/pyrfeed/gui/wx/controls/html_window.py all the instances of iewin need to be changed to iewin_old. If you're compiling from source something like: perl -pe -i "s#iewin#iewin_old#g" src/pyrfeed/gui/wx/controls/html_window.py

Should do the trick. Hope that helps somebody.

I actually no nothing about this software... I've never run it or used it, but came across this thread while trying to solve this problem in a piece of code I wrote about 4 years ago.

benjamin, thanks for the note on iewin_old, that did help me past the EVT_BeforeNavigate2? error.

However, I now am getting: Traceback (most recent call last):

maybe the parser isn't up to date? :(

I have the same error as daveydav. ExpatError?: mismatched tag .... It comes when I try to synchronize (get rss feeds) from google reader

Python 2.7 32bit wxPython 2.8 32bit Windows 7 64bit

Can someone help here? At least show the direction what can be done, please.
