#5 How to install pyWeb 2.3.1?

[John Shipman]

I couldn't find install instructions at http://pywebtool.sourceforge.net/,
so I faked it. Here's what I did, after moving the tarball to the
site-packages directory of my Python 3.4 virtual environment:

$ tar xvzf pyweb-2.3.1.ta.gz
$ cd pyweb-2.3.1
$ python setup.py install

That seemed to work okay; I have a pyweb-2.3.1-py3.4.egg-info file.

Then I tried the RST test:

$ cd test
$ python3 -m pyweb -wRST test_rst.w

And got this stack trace:

$ python3 -m pyweb -wRST test_rst.w
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/local/stow/python-3.4.2/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 170, in _run_module_as_main

self.logger.info( "Weaver {:s}".format(config.theWeaver) )
TypeError: non-empty format string passed to object.format</module>

Where did I go off the rails?

There's a README. http://pywebtool.sourceforge.net/#the-readme-file

But that's not obvious enough. I'll look at revising the documentation to make it more clear.

https://bugs.python.org/issue7994 has cleaned up the way the {:s} format string works.

Each occurrence of {:s} was fundamentally wrong and needs to be replaced with {!s}. I'll post a new release.
