#2 Doesn't run under Linux
When I download PyAlbum (rel 0.5.3) and unzip it, I first
notice that there is not a hint of documentation. No
README, no INSTALL. Oh, well.
When I try to run it, it crashes:
$> python PyAlbum.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PyAlbum.py", line 29, in ?
from AlbumMain import Application
File "AlbumMain.py", line 380
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I assume it's a Windows-to-Unix tab-vs-spaces issue and
re-unzip it with "-a". This time it complains at a different
point:
$> python2.2 PyAlbum.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PyAlbum.py", line 29, in ?
from AlbumMain import Application
File "AlbumMain.py", line 24, in ?
from AlbumOptions import GalOptionHandler
File "AlbumOptions.py", line 25, in ?
from optparse import Option, OptionValueError,
OptionParser, OptionGroup, _match_abbrev,
BadOptionError
ImportError: No module named optparse
At this time I erase PyAlbum from my hard drive.

Hi nobody :-)
Sorry, I should have added a README stating that all
documentation including installation can be found on the
Project Home Page.
Line 380 contains an extra carriage return. No idea how that
could happen (CVS?, IDE?)...
A requirement fo PyAlbum is Python 2.3.x, which contains the
optpare module. There is a test for the python version at the
logical beginning of AlbumMain.py, but I see, I have to put it
at the physical beginning of that module.
