[Pyobjfs-users] Problems running tutorial

[Stephen R. F. <fi...@mo...>]

I was playing around with oops, attempting to follow the tutorial:

  http://pyobjfs.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html

I am using Python 2.2 on a Redhat 7.2 Linux install.  Oops 0.9.1

My first snag in the Medical patient example was Date, which Python
said wasn't defined.  I checked the API and noticed there was no Date
type (or Class, rather) so I took a guess and changed it to Data()

Then I got a complaint about Obj.__init__

>>> patient_db.append(Patient("Dan", "Parisien", (5,5,1980)))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#48>", line 1, in ?
    patient_db.append(Patient("Dan", "Parisien", (5,5,1980)))
  File "<pyshell#46>", line 8, in __init__
    Obj.__init__(**kwargs) # OOPS uses keyword arguments TypeError:
unbound method __init__() must be called with Obj instance as first
argument (got nothing instead)

hmmm... okay, so I took a stab at this perhaps being 

  Obj.__init__(self, **kwargs)

>>> patient_db.append(Patient("Dan", "Parisien", (5,5,1980)))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#51>", line 1, in ?
    patient_db.append(Patient("Dan", "Parisien", (5,5,1980)))

    value.__moveto__(self.__database__, self.__path__+(key,), self)

Some sort of problem with list?  The tests seemed to run okay:

[fig@localhost oops-0.9.1]$ python2 test.py
............
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 12 tests in 26.973s

OK

Do you have any advice?
