memacs_lastfm fails, other modules work

[ajft]

Karl, I've been using memacs for a few years, and a month ago included memacs_lastfm to get my music listings. It was working for a few weeks, but following a system upgrade from ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 the lastfm module has stopped working. All the other memacs modules that I use still work, but memacs_lastfm crashes with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ajft/src/memacs/memacs/lib/memacs.py", line 187, in handle_main
self._main()
File "/home/ajft/src/memacs/memacs/lastfm.py", line 76, in _main
network = pylast.get_lastfm_network(**options)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_lastfm_network'

Makefile:131: recipe for target 'lastfm.org_archive' failed

Is this a problem with memacs_lastfm, or have i managed to break my own installation of python modules (something I know nothing about, but seem to have any number of system-wide ubuntu packages, pip packages, etc)

Hi ajft,

This looks like the pylast lib has changed in an incompatible way.

However, I don't use lastfm. The module was written by @glumanda99 who might be able to help here.

Thanks for reporting!

I'm not sure if what I did has just fixed it as a side effect, or if something else changed while I was poking about, but.

Hunting around I found that there was a version of memacs-0.4 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7, in addition to the current version elsewhere. After I deleted the old version the script now runs.

thanks for your time, and many thanks for hte work on memacs

Thanks for the report and glad, that it's working now.

Greetings from Graz!
