bmc / fortune Goto Github PK

I am a newer, I just clone this repo to my local disk. I want to learn about the source code of this program.

I just find the init.py under the fortune dir, is this all the source code?

error: Couldn't find a setup script in /tmp/easy_install-6K1u0m/grizzled-python-1.0.3.linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Traceback (most recent call last):

resolved

With both easy_install and running setup.py manually, I receive the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 41, in
info = load_info()
File "setup.py", line 38, in load_info
result['long_description'] = DESCRIPTION
NameError: global name 'DESCRIPTION' is not defined

Adding a default DESCRIPTION value to setup.py fixes it, but I'm pretty sure we shouldn't be hitting the 'except' clause on line 37, so there may also be a better fix possible.

I'm getting the following error:

$ fortune

I'm on Windows (Msysgit). I'm using your fortune's database files.

I installed the program via pip and downloaded your fortune cookies.
Now I can easily run fortune path/to/file and even fortune $FORTUNE_FILE as displayed on the screenshot. However, a good simple fortune fails to find the variable.

This is how I set the variable on my $PROFILE, if it helps:

$FORTUNE_FILE = Get-ChildItem -Path "$env:HOMEPATH\dotfiles\docs\fortunes" | Get-Random | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName

It's great as it is, but maybe could you describe how to properly set up the environment variable on Windows? Thanks!!
