Dom-III PBEM manager

[WraithLord]

Oh, I think I may have a hunch what's causing your issue.
Please make sure you follow step 3. of my first post.
After which libgmail should be correctly installed, please verify it as follows: open a shell (start->run->cmd in windows, or xterm in linux), run python (IDLE works as well), run import libgmail.
This should work w/o errors, if you hit an error this means libgmail isn't installed correctly. It should be fairly easy to install what with one command that installs it and up until now worked smoothly for me. Tell me if this helps.

I installed libgmail, I even managed to access the gmail account to make sure it worked, but I'm unsure what you mean by "run import libgmail" I don't see any import options, and doing a index search of the help documentation brings up a whole bunch of stuff I don't understand.

[WraithLord]

I mean do the following.

1. start->run->cmd, should open up dos shell.

2. print:
python
and press enter, this should start python, you should see the prompt as >>>.

3. print:
import libgmail.

This should work with no messages. If you do get messages it means that installation of the lib has failed.

[Cheezeninja]

Yea, I get an error message that says there is no module named libgmail. I ran the setup.py file though, is there a specific folder I should put the libgmail files in?

Edit: I got it to not give me an error message by putting the libgmail files in the "libs" folder, but the pbem manager module still gives me the same error message.

[WraithLord]

you should run:
$ python setup.py install

You shouldn't do anything manually with the lib. Install takes care of everything. After that you should be able to get the "import libgmail" to work. If you are there and still get errors when running the PBEM manager please give me the exact error.

@Beorne, first nice to see that you've switched the debug on
The error stems for the fact that the configuration file is an example and not a working configuration file. A value that you should fill is indicated by <> braces, you should replace this including the braces with your values.

Try it yourself, create a new game with, say, two or more players, fill in the blanks in the configuration file and check if this works for you.

And I'm a professonal programmer ... what a pity.
Thank you, I'll try.

I'd liked very much to learn Python, but now for me at work is the time of C#, a very good prog language even if is M$. The dark side is Visual studio, a thin layer of complexity and mess covering all.

[WraithLord]

I recommend learning Python, as it embodies some very nice programming concepts. It is a cool language from the get go.

For now I'm using this great utility to send new turns to players.
But when it sends the turn to [email protected] it raises this error.
What is it?
Thanks.
