scoursen / python-calais Goto Github PK

This is not a bug but rather an enhancement request of the installation
process.

Could you please add a setup.py in the repository in order to make the
installation process easier.

This will give you an easy way to register this library on Pypi
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi) plus a very convenient one liner to install
it with pip.

Regards,
--yml

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run: easy_install python-calais-1.4.tar.gz
2. Get error: error: Couldn't find a setup script in
/Volumes/Digg/core/bobtail/deps/python-calais-1.4.tar.gz

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should install.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4 on Mac OS X.

I can't find the social tags in your result. Do you plan to include these
in the near future?
Kind regards,
Jacques Bopp

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. submit a text containing some unicode character

urllib.urlencode does not support it so you need to encode content.

What is the expected output? 
python-calais should be able to send to open calais none ascii character.

Please provide any additional information below.
I have created a branch of the project and implemented this. You can see a
patch of there :
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~yml/python-calais/with_setup/revision/18
or if you prefer you can CO the code.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run calais.py with python 2.4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected output is successful completion, instead is an exception due to
hashlib module not being found

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
revision 5 of python-calais, python 2.4, fedora core 5

Please provide any additional information below.
using an alternative hash function for the content_id method will fix it:

try:
  import hashlib
except:
  return hex(hash(text))

or whatever..

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Activate opencalais on this url:
http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200812/1229105028.html
2. See the Alliance relation which is extracted
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Two companies in the Alliance relation are expected(company1, company2)
Only a single 'company' field is extrated
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

Added two functions 'getURLAnalysis' and 'getAnalysis'.  These allow the
output format ('text/simple', 'text/microformats', 'xml/rdf') to be set.
This is something that I required for a project I'm working on.

This required me to modify the PARAMS_XML variable.  I've added usage
exmaples to the top of the file.

I'm new to programming in Python, so feedback is welcome.

I'm running python 2.6 and python-calais fails with an ImportError to 
simplejson. I don't need simplesjon since python 2.6 has the json module. 
Python calais should check for that.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install pyhton-calais without simplejson

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
pip should be able to pull the need dependency.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest trunk on linux

Please provide any additional information below.
Adding the line below in the setup.py should fix the issue.
"""
install_requires=['simplejson'],
"""
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~populous/python-calais/with_setup/annotate/head%3A/
setup.py

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. >>>import calais
2. >>>calais=Calais(submitter="Test App", api_key="apikeyhere")
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is no error so I can use the calais api.

A NameError is displayed instead as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Calais' is not defined

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I downloaded the most current version from SVN via the checkout command as
listed on this project's Source page.

The OS is Ubuntu 7.10 RDFlib is v 2.3.1 (2.4.0 would not install producing
errors during setup).

Please provide any additional information below.
I am completely stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a
python novice. Thanks.

I'm getting the following error when I import calais:

Traceback (most recent call in last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/home/rubinsta/lib/python/calais.py", line 23
     class Calais():
                  ^ 
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Getting rid of the () after the class declarations will solve the problem.

[deleted issue]

Running analyse_url on a URL containing &pPK= will return an exception from the 
Calais service.

For example: http://www.libdems.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?
title=Government_smothering_dissent_on_Heathrow_says_Kramer__&pPK=acc86d46-11a7-
4688-bd4a-82eea4cf99f3

I believe this is because of a conflict with an external ID field.  I edited my 
analyse_url to the 
following and it is no longer an issue.

    def analyze_url(self, url):
        f = urllib.urlopen(url)
        html = self.preprocess_html(f.read())
        eid = urllib.quote(url)
        return self.analyze(html, content_type="TEXT/HTML", external_id=eid)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running example code as presented in the project-home
API_KEY = "my_key"
calais = Calais(API_KEY, submitter="python-calais demo")

result = calais.analyze("George Bush was the President of the United States of 
America until 2009.  Barack Obama is the new President of the United States 
now.")

result.print_entities()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see;
Person: Barack Obama (0.29)
Country: United States of America (0.43)
Person: George Bush (0.43)
Country: United States (0.29)

Get the below exception/error instead;
raise ValueError(raw_result)
ValueError: <!--Use of the Calais Web Service is governed by the Terms of 
Service located at http://www.opencalais.com. 
By using this service or the results of the service you agree to these terms of

Person: Barack Obama, George Bush

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Running python-calais v.1.4 
Mac OSX

Many thanks,

I made some changes so that other types (html/xml) can be submitted to Calais. 
I haven't tested it 
with xml though, just html. Seems to work fine for me.
Also removed the rdfdoc variable since it's only used in analyze once.
Expect more changes from me with error checking and whatnot.
Cheers.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use "analyze_url" with a parameterized URL, e.g. 
"http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/01/magazine/01wwln-lede-t.html?
_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=print"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to get a "calais.CalaisResponse" returned; instead, get a ValueError 
reporting that 
"paramsXML is invalid"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN Head (which matches the 1.4 download)

Please provide any additional information below.
Attached is a patch which applies xml.sax.saxutils.escape to the values in 
_get_params_XML. I 
haven't looked to see if there are other places where this should be applied.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the demo outlined in the readme

Instead of getting a response, I receive the following:
ValueError: Invalid request format - the request has missing or invalid
parameters

This is with v1.4 of python-calais, running python 2.5 on mac os x 10.5

Make json more dynamic

Have you considered moving this project to github ? This would make 
contributions easier.
