Python 2.5 is not supported (Error running a2po) about android2po HOT 7 CLOSED

Python 2.5 is currently not supported. I have to see whether that is something that's possible without too much work.

from android2po.

Thanks for the info. I'm now trying to run it under 2.4 by editing the /usr/bin/a2po to call python2.4 instead of python as both are installed on my box.

Now I'm getting the below. I'm a java dev, but python is something I've no idea about, so apologies if these are obvious issues!

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

from android2po.

Well, I meant of course that Python 2.5 and below are not supported. Syntax elements are used that have been added later on (note that Python 3.x is a separate beast, and something like 2.5 and later, for most Python programs, means >= 2.5 and < 3)

It sounds like you might be running on some kind of older LTS release that doesn't have 2.6 or 2.7, in which case you might try to compile your own. Maybe have a look at https://github.com/utahta/pythonbrew which should make this even easier than it is normally.

Also, make sure to install android2po separately for each Python version; simply editing the shebang of /usr/bin/a2po is probably not going to work.

If you don't have an easy_install for a particular Python version to use, you can always download a package and then do:

 $ /my/python/binary setup.py install

manually, do install for that particular runtime.

Thanks for your help on this. I've now got 2.7 working and the app seems to work as it's created the .po files.
One final question probably unrelated to android2po.
I get the .po files and I know the location my Pootle install has it's "po" directory, but I'm not sure where the files go.

e.g. my project directory is "test" and pootle is running from
/vol/translate/Pootle-2.1.6/

so I have a /vol/translate/Pootle-2.1.6/po/test directory with a collection of directories under that for each language (e.g. fr, de etc)
If tried putting the generated .po files into /vol/translate/Pootle-2.1.6/po/test or for example the french po files into /vol/translate/Pootle-2.1.6/po/test/fr but they don't seem to show up.
Apologies for all the questions and thanks for your support.

I only remember having a lot of trouble setting up Pootle as well. My installation is as follows:

/opt/pootle/data/po/projectName/fr/android.po

I remember always having to create the languages in Pootle manually, and then use a "scan for files" button somewhere to make Pootle realize there were .po files in the filesystem.

Thanks for that. With your help I've managed to get everything working. Great tools by the way, very useful!
