Calibre gives this error when trying to fetch news: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/news.py", line 1462, in parse_feeds get_article_url=self.get_article_url)) File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/__init__.py", line 320, in feed_from_xml from feedparser import parse ImportError: cannot import name parse However, this module is installed: [claudio@localhost ~]$ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Jul 24 2012, 10:05:38) [GCC 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from feedparser import parse >>> [claudio@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep feedparser python-feedparser-5.1.2-2.fc17.noarch python3-feedparser-5.1.2-2.fc17.noarch [claudio@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep calibre calibre-0.9.1-1.fc17.x86_64
Strange. I'll see if I can duplicate here...
I've noticed that the "fetch news" feature works for some sources, like The Guardian. But I don't know whether that's because for this it doesn't use the feedparser. An example of one that fails is "Chile -> El Mostrador." Hope this helps.
FWIW .. at least in my system the latest calibre RPM is faulty. # ls -l /usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/feedparser.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 6 19:45 /usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/feedparser.py Note the "0" One of many workarounds: # yumdownloader --source calibre # rpm -ivh calibre-0.9.1-1.fc17.src.rpm # rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/calibre.spec Installed required devel rpms and repeat previous stop # cp ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/calibre/src/calibre/web/feeds/feedparser.py.unbundle-feedparser /usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/feedparser.py Try again to fetch news .. above worked for me
Yes, that seems to be the problem. feedparser.py is an empty file.
Then again, I think calibre is trying to use the system-installed feedparser (which is installed for me). For whatever reason is not finding it (python path issues?).
Sorry for the delay here... I was off traveling. ;( If folks seeing this could try: install the fedora calibre package rm -f /usr/lib*/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/feedparser.* then run it and see if you can duplicate the crash. I'm wondering if the 0 length file is causing it problems...
Removing the feedparser packaged with calibre, as in comment #6, resolved this for me.

I'm still having problems related, I think, to this issue. I have calibre-0.9.5-2.fc17 installed. When I try to fetch news my system does not crash. That's the good news. The bad news is that when I open the fetched news to read it, I only see (almost) empty pages saying something like "Failed feed: Nieuws No module named feedparser" I have python-feedparser-5.1.2-2.fc17 installed however, but calibre can't find it?
(In reply to comment #11) > No module named feedparser" > > I have python-feedparser-5.1.2-2.fc17 installed however, but calibre can't > find it? As a temporary fix I did sudo cp /usr/lib/python27/site-packages/feedparser.py* /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/ and this works. So it indeed seems calibre is not finding feedparser
Martin: If you 'rm -f /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/feedparser*' you get the 'no module' error? Are you sure you restarted calibre after upgrading?
I don't think it will make much difference to do 'rm -f /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/feedparser*'. These files are already removed in calibre-0.9.5-2.fc15.rpm But yes, still "no module named named feedparser".
ok, can you try this scratch build and see if it works correctly for you? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4701207
(In reply to comment #15) > ok, can you try this scratch build and see if it works correctly for you? > > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4701207 This one seems to be working fine. Feeds are fetched as expected. Thank you.
