I am trying to use this cool script that some MIT guy wrote and it just
does not work, I get a stream of errors when I try to run it. It is
supposed to visit a URL and snag all of the pictures on the site. Here is
the script:
http://web.mit.edu/pgbovine/www/imag...e-harvester.py
Here is my output when I try to run it on my Fedora 6 machine:
[ohmster@ohmster bench]$ image-harvester.py
http://public.fotki.com/DaGennelman/
/home/ohmster/scripts/image-harvester.py: line 59: from: command not found
[ohmster@ohmster bench]$
The script is to be folowed up with another one to weed out the small
thumbnails and banner images, here is the base URL:
http://web.mit.edu/pgbovine/www/image-harvester/
Line 59 in image-harvester.py reads as follows:
59: from sgmllib import SGMLParser
60: import urllib
70: from urlparse import urlparse, urljoin
71: import re
72: import os
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this script and why it will not run?
It does not like the command "from", is there such a command in python?
Does this mean that python has the "import" command but not the "from"
command or do we not know this yet as it hangs right away when it hits the
very first word of the script, "from"? Maybe this is not a Linux script or
something? I wonder why it needs the x-server anyway, I tried running it
from an ssh term window and it had a fit about no x-server so now I am
doing this in a gnome term window. This looked so cool too. :(
Please be patient with me, I do not know python at all, I just want for
this script to work and if I see enough working examples of python, I may
just take up study on it, but for right now, I do not know the language.
Total newbie.
Thanks.
