Build error during setup

[inhumantsar]

I'm getting a build error during setup. Currently running a clean install of Python 3.1.2 under Mac OS X 10.6.5. I get the same results using sudo.

I hadn't tested against Python3 yet, but it looks like this error is simply because I left in an erroneous print statement.

The fix should be simple, but while I'm at it I'll verify proper overall functionality on Python3 and issue a new release. Will probably take a day or two.

Hi,
Thanks for this nice piece of code,
I think this print can cause some issues if used in wsgi as well in 2.5 up. The build worked fine for me in 2.5 though.

If you open the code, can you add a wp_password to the wordpresspost definition dict, i tested on local version and it posts correctly, and finally in the doc, unless I'm mistaking for the media uploads, it you can add in the doc: post using a call to xmlrpclib.Binary(fileread) I think it could help starters like me.
Thanks
Jaysee

@Jayseebee,

Would you mind filing a new issue with your patch and an explanation of why you want/need a wp_password member? I don't want to pollute this issue with an unrelated discussion. Thanks.

It looks like Python3 compatibility is going to require some work, and likely a separate branch of the code. I'm afraid I don't have time at the moment to do this myself, as I still use Python 2.x exclusively.

If anyone is interested in maintaining a fork for Python 3, I'd happily accept pull requests.

Looks like I misread "This library was developed against and tested on WordPress 3.0." while skimming the mainpage. Thought that read Python 3.0 :P I might try my hand at making a Py3k fork later but for the time being, I'll just switch back to 2.x. Thanks!
