Diamond crashes on launch

[David Ham]

I found some time to start playing around with spud and have a problem with diamond:

m214089@wanglung% ../diamond/bin/diamond -v -s ballistics.rng ballistics.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "../diamond/bin/diamond", line 301, in <module>
   sys.exit(main())
 File "../diamond/bin/diamond", line 98, in main
   import diamond.config as config
 File "/Volumes/Work/m214089/Projects/spud/diamond/bin/../diamond/config.py", line 79, in <module>
   key, value = ("default", keyvalue[0]) if len(keyvalue) == 1 else keyvalue
ValueError: too many values to unpack

python 2.7.3

m214089@wanglung% bzr update
Tree is up to date at revision 524 of branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~spud/spud/trunk

Could you give me some hint, what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Luis

Hmm, that's interesting! The only way I could see that happening is if you have a line in one of your schemata files with two or more '='s in it. Can you paste the contents of any files in ~/.diamond/schemata, /usr/share/diamond/schemata, and /etc/diamond/schemata?

Also, can you try r525?

Hi. the bug fix provided solved the problem for me. However, to get the current version running I needed to add the site-package path of diamond to my PYTHONPATH.

With respect to the installation documentation: it would be nice to get a clear split of the installation of the components of spud .

I'll like the idea and till now the implementation.

Congratulations!

Hi Luis,

If you run the version of diamond inside the spud checkout, it should pick up the source files inside the checkout, rather than a globally installed one -- i.e., I don't think you should need to modify your PYTHONPATH. But if it works for you, I'm very happy :-)

As for the distinction into components: I thought it was fairly clear on the website (http://amcg.ese.ic.ac.uk/index.php?title=Spud) and in the manual, where each component gets its own chapter -- can you be more specific about where the documentation could be clearer?

Thanks!

Patrick
