[PyCS-devel] additions today

[Phillip P. <pp...@my...>]

Hi guys,

I've been hacking on PyCS comments today ... I'm trying to put in a
nice way to bulk import comments from elsewhere.  I have a scraper
that will pull comments from radiocomments2.userland.com, and save
them as a Python module.  I've added an 'add_comments' function to
pycsadm.py and pycsAdmin.py, that will put these into the comments
database.

There's an odd issue with importing comments.  After importing a whole
heap of comments, I get a 502 ProtocolError and then the Python
process running pycsadm.py crashes with a core dump.  This may just be
one of those weird "Python doesn't work on FreeBSD" things, but I'll
see what I can do about this.  For the moment be warned that imports
of more than 30 or so posts worth of comments may fail.

I've also changed the comment display so that it'll use the user
stylesheet if one is given, and also put in some modifications
suggested by Robb Beal.  The comments are now numbered, and use more
CSS instead of tables.  Mac folks might want to take a look to make
sure I haven't broken them ... I can only test in IE unfortunately :(

Cheers,
Phil :)
