[05:04] <MatthewDesigner> Hello everyone!
[19:05] <thorwil> alpha or maybe beta testers wanted: https://code.launchpad.net/~t-w-/backtestground/backtestground
[19:09] <vish> bzr branch lp:backtestground
[19:09] <vish> grr!
[19:10] <thorwil> grr?
[19:10] <vish> i copy pasted in wrong window..
[19:10] <thorwil> heh
[19:12] <thorwil> i guess someday i will paste an interesting link, accidentally and people will wonder about wild boar riding midgets in rubber suits
[19:13] <vish> someday.. one can only hope..  ;)
[19:16] <thorwil> vish: i'd like to see how much sense you can make out of that branch on your own, but don't hesitate to ask questions
[19:17] <vish> hmm, i was expecting the INSTALL file to actually be the installer ;p
[19:18] <vish> and was wondering why README dint have install instructions..
[19:18] <thorwil> oh. but it's in docs and INSTALL for info on how to install is convention (if not part of the README)
[19:20] <vish> afaik or have seen, the install file usually installs and the read me has the install info
[19:20] <thorwil> an install.sh in root, maybe
[19:21] <vish> yea..
[19:21] <vish> the .sh is usually hidden or not used, so it just looks too much the same.
[19:21] <vish> * ".sh"
[19:37] <vish> $ python setup.py build
[19:37] <vish> Traceback (most recent call last):
[19:37] <vish>   File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>
[19:37] <vish>     from setuptools import setup
[19:37] <vish> ImportError: No module named setuptools
[19:37] <vish> thorwil: ^  doesnt seem to install
[19:37] <vish> i have both python-imagining and python-argparse
[19:38] <vish> oh !
[19:38] <vish> thorwil: do i also need python-setuptools ?
[19:39] <vish> or is it the  python3-setuptools ?
[19:41] <thorwil> vish: python-setuptools
[19:41] <thorwil> sorry, i just added a note to INSTALL (and a note to README to point to INSTALL)
[19:42] <thorwil> after figuring out a few other things, i will look into making a deb
[20:11] <vish> n$ python bgce.py -o ~/bg.png
[20:11] <vish> usage: bgce.py [-h] [-v] [-o path/filename]
[20:11] <vish>                screenshot_on_white screenshot_on_shadow-color
[20:11] <vish> bgce.py: error: too few arguments
[20:11] <vish> thorwil: ^
[20:11] <vish> thats what i get..
[20:12] <vish> not sure how to run it, btw, why does it need to install? cant we run it just from the folder?
[20:12] <thorwil> vish: if setup.py worked, you should now have "bgce" and "sizes" in /usr/local/bin.
[20:13] <vish> yea, setup worked
[20:13]  * vish checks again..
[20:13] <thorwil> vish: sure the scripts run from where they are
[20:13] <thorwil> but that's not convenient in everyday use
[20:14] <thorwil> vish: use the images in the test_images dir
[20:15] <vish> thorwil: setup http://paste.ubuntu.com/539797/
[20:15] <thorwil> vish: looks alright
[20:16] <vish> but if i run the .py from ~/ it doesnt seem to pickup the executable..
[20:16] <vish> oh wait!
[20:16] <thorwil> vish: bgc tab-key should complete to bgce everywhere now
[20:16] <vish> nope, false alarm..
[20:17] <vish> it does, but it does not /run/
[20:17] <vish> $ bgce
[20:17] <vish> Traceback (most recent call last):

[20:17] <vish> ImportError: No module named bgce
[20:20] <thorwil> vish: same here. now if i only knew what the heck changed ...
[20:20] <vish> phew, well atleast i'm not totally dumb :D
[20:23] <thorwil> vish: in the meantime, the help text formatting is a little odd, as required parameters appear in a second line
[20:24] <thorwil> vish: bgce.py on_white.png on_black.png
[20:24] <thorwil> (with appropriate  paths)
[20:24] <vish> hmm..
[20:24] <thorwil> result will be called context.png
[20:27] <vish> thorwil: dint understand … you want me to edit the bgce.py ?
[20:28] <thorwil> vish: no.
[20:28] <thorwil> cd path/to/bin
[20:29] <thorwil> ./bgce ../test_images/on_white ../test_images/on_black.png
[20:31] <vish> yea, i tried $ python bgce.py ~/on_white.png
[20:31] <vish> usage: bgce.py [-h] [-v] [-o path/filename]
[20:31] <vish>                screenshot_on_white screenshot_on_shadow-color
[20:31] <vish> bgce.py: error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/vishnoo/on_white.png'
[20:31] <vish> argh..
[20:32] <vish> 2am, not a good time for trying something new i guess ;p
[20:32] <thorwil> well, it's easier to have the scripts and images in the same dir
[20:32] <vish> hmm, k.. copying..
[20:37] <vish> finally!
[20:37] <vish> \o/ i got the context.png, but its just a copy..
[20:40] <thorwil> vish: look at all 3 files with eog
[20:41] <vish> thorwil: ok.. *now* i realize what the readme screenshot meant.. :)
[20:41] <thorwil> :)
[20:41] <vish>  the readme "screenshot" meant
[20:42] <vish> thorwil: i was thinking it would take a screenshot..
[20:45] <thorwil> vish: right, i have to rephrase that
[20:45] <thorwil> vish: thanks!
[20:46] <vish> np..
[20:46] <thorwil> vish: the "sizes" tool is clear enough?
[20:46] <vish> thorwil: yea, that's confusing too , when you say "Take.." it seems like it will take
[20:49] <thorwil> i see, the short form of "take as argument" is no good
[20:49] <thorwil> will use "expects as input", instead
[21:06] <thorwil> good night!
