PIP安装lpod失败，错误1和无效的语法

Question

I have Debian/Cinnamon and I'm trying to install the python lpod-python package so I can open LibreOffice files from Python 3.4. Python 2.7 and Idle 3 are also installed.

When I try

pip3 install lpod-python

it fails. I've read all the other answers to pip install with error code 1 and I'm sure pip and setuptools are correctly installed and up to date, so something else is wrong.

ed@eddebian:~$ pip3 install lpod-python

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-r0wgfnfi/lpod-python

I next tried cloning lpod from git and ran setup.py from the command line. I get the same syntax error but not the error code 1.

I presently have a work-around by converting the .odt files to text but it would boost my productivity considerably if I could read them straight into python. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

That code would only work on Python 2; that library is clearly not compatible with Python 3.

Answer 2

Does your project use Python 3 or Python 2.6? If it uses Python 2.6, just do a

    pip install lpod-python

If it uses Python 3, you cannot use this library as it is not compatible with Python 3, which you can see by the

    print get_release()

being shown as syntax error, since print() is the correct syntax for Python3.
