1. Read about ConfigParser here:

Thank you very for this link.
2. Read the traceback from the bottom up:  (1) The exception is
   raised in ConfigParser.py on line 240 in function/method options.
   (2) This was called from newspipe.py on line 895 in
   function/method LeerConfig.
Should the changes be made in the newspipe/* directory only ? Or should 
I manage the ConfigParser.py ?

3. It's looking for a section named "NewsPipe" in your
   options/config file.  Check your config file.  Is that
   section name misspelled?  Is the section missing?  Does
   the NewsPipe documentation tell you where the config file
   should be and what it's name is?  If not, look in newspipe.py.
According to the Newspipe documentation 
http://newspipe.sourceforge.net/#configuration, only the 'smtp_server' 
and 'opml' lines are absolutely needed in newspipe.py.

Please, see newspipe.py below:
--
[NewsPipe]
log_console=1
smtp_server=smtp.free.fr
opml=test.opml
sleep_time=30
check_online=http://www.google.com
--
Do you think any lines are missing ?
Unless, it could come from the OPML file ?
Hope this helps.
Yes. But, unfortunately, not enough - it's hard to be a newbie. :-/
I thank you very much for your help.

You are misreading something.  On the page you referenced above,
it clearly states in "Installation" that the file in question
is named "newspipe.ini", not "newspipe.py".  You are confusing
the two, since what you show above is not "newspipe.py" or,
if it is, somebody has messed up...
Sorry. The lines above are from *newspipe.ini* not newspipe.py. Thanks 
for pointing the confusion.

newspipe.py should contain Python code, newspipe.ini should
contain configuration info like you show above.
If you *have* a newspipe.ini file that contains the above,
but are still getting the error message you reported earlier,
then the program is not *finding* your newspipe.ini file and
you should probably contact the author(s) for assistance,
since this is not a Python issue.
I'm going to contact him. Thank you very much for your reply.
Cheers.

I contact the author and there is a bug in the version I'm using.
Now it works by running
$ cd /newspipe
$ python ./newspipe.py
Instead of
$ python /newspipe/newspipe.py
Thanks for your help.

Python + Newspipe

[kael]

Hello,
I'm trying to run _Newspipe_ but Python returns an error :
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# python2.3 /home/kael/newspipe/newspipe.py

Unfortunately, I'm new to Linux (RedHat9) and to Python (2.3) and I'm 
not able to understand this error message.

Could someone enlighten me ? O:-)
Thank you very much.
