prepare.py takes directory as argument, returns error about dataset-registry HOT 3 CLOSED

I think prepare.py expects a file. Why do you try to pass a directory into it? Where did you get this command?

from dataset-registry.

On running
python prepare.py
The output is:

Arguments error. Usage:
	python prepare.py data

This is directly from the code in prepare.py, here:

if len(sys.argv) != 2:
    sys.stderr.write('Arguments error. Usage:\n')
    sys.stderr.write('\tpython prepare.py data\n')
    sys.exit(1)

Running it as
python prepare.py data.xml
does not work, as data.xml does not exist to begin with, as referenced in #5

from dataset-registry.

Yep, may be we can improve the Usage section - like data -> data-file. But it expects a file, not a directory.

As I mentioned in #5 this is by definition, since data.xml is DVC-tracked. dvc get failed because of the wrong copy-paste.

Closing this, since it does not look like an error. We can create a separate ticket to improve prepare.py a bit.
