This week I got introduced to bespin, an online collaborative editor which is still in extreme testing phaze (given that most people couldn't sync and when they did.. well.. talk about random editing).Its quite a cool program though, I have to say I'm loving all this new Web 2.0 graphical stuff, I mean ubiquity and bespin are designed amazingly.
So anyway the tasks we are meant to do are create a bug fix for bespin, and frankly I have to say I have never had as much trouble following a step by step guide before. In uni yes, the proxy forbid us to download anything and hence we spent over an hour (without really get anywhere, thankfully our colleague managed a pretty good workaround) trying to just install the program. And now that I'm home and trying to set everything up I get some even more problems! Currently mentioning missing paths and such, quite a mess if you ask me!
Looking very forward to start working on the JavaScript processing file. For those of you who don't know (who are most likely noone since this blog is only on my courses tracker (A)) its a JavaScript file that allows pretty advanced graphics to be created within the canvas field of the html webpage, hence obliterating the need for third parties such as flash or Microsoft beautiful imitation, silver light.
Anyway if anyone got this error while installing bespin in the "paver dojo create_db" with this error :
File "pavement.py", line 267, in create_db from
bespin import config, database, db_versions
ImportError: No module named bespin then please throw a bone, I just woke up so if I found out I done something wrong then just ignore this ever happened...
Ps. I don't dislike Microsoft. I just think that if one company is meant to represent the world of cutting edge computer technology they should do a better job then creating an OS whose visual effects require more power then a fully fledged decently written 3d game. I also assume they are cutting edge because.. they have enough money to buy a country and turn it into a computer engineering empire, and enough labour to repopulate the world in a decade if something went wrong with the rest of us (faint but still somehow believable assumption (A)).
That was just my morning pre coffee commentary skills kicking in, at 1:40pm :D.
Update:
I tried that a few times and then tried it again today, same mistake several times.
Heres the tracing of the terminal, a bit from the top is cut off but its the bootstrap.py which exited successfully.

Interesting read Ahmed. From your error, it seems that you don't have the required folders. Can you please try running the bootstrap again?
