Yahoo BOSS Python Library, ExpatError
- by Wraith
I tried to install the Yahoo BOSS mashup framework, but am having trouble running the examples provided. Examples 1, 2, 5, and 6 work, but 3 & 4 give Expat errors. Here is the output from ex3.py:
gpython examples/ex3.py
examples/ex3.py:33: Warning: 'as' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "examples/ex3.py", line 27, in <module>

self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: syntax error: line 1, column 0
It looks like both examples are failing when trying to query Digg.com. Here is the query that is constructed in ex3.py's code:
diggf = lambda r: {"title": r["title"]["value"], "diggs": int(r["diggCount"]["value"])}
digg = db.select(name="dg", udf=diggf, url="http://digg.com/rss_search?search=google+android&area=dig&type=both§ion=news")
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
