Initial setup issues [MacOS, Python2, Python3]

[jidn]

You are likely correct about it being a path issue, though I don't know why. It may be my unfamiliarity with macs. It did appear to install for python2 and work correctly, but it was not immediately available to you.

Is it the shell, or path, I do not know. Try the following command to see where your python interpreter believes it's site-packages are located.

$ python -m site

I usually work in Python3. However, with virtual environments, we can have the best of all worlds without messing with the system. I am running Arch Linux so there may be some slight variations. I found this when looking for "python virtual environment mac" on Google.

I started by creating a virtual environment in my /tmp directory. It will get removed when I reboot if I don't delete the directory first.

/tmp $ virtualenv --python=python2 testing
Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python2
New python executable in /tmp/testing/bin/python2
Also creating executable in /tmp/testing/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.

I then activate the virtual environment and install lds-org

/tmp $ source testing/bin/activate
(testing) /tmp $ pip install lds-org

Let's check where python is getting its information

(testing) /tmp $ python -m site
sys.path = [
    '/tmp',
    '/tmp/testing/lib/python27.zip',
    '/tmp/testing/lib/python2.7',
    '/tmp/testing/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2',
    '/tmp/testing/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',
    '/tmp/testing/lib/python2.7/lib-old',
    '/tmp/testing/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',
    '/usr/lib64/python2.7',
    '/usr/lib/python2.7',
    '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2',
    '/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk',
    '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',
    '/tmp/testing/lib/python2.7/site-packages',
]
USER_BASE: '/home/clinton/.local' (exists)
USER_SITE: '/home/clinton/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' (exists)
ENABLE_USER_SITE: False

Everything looks good so now I attempt to get my information

(testing) /tmp $ python -m lds_org -e current-user-id
LDS.org username:XXX	
LDS.org password:
<!-- <Response [200]> -->
<!-- https://www.lds.org/mobiledirectory/services/ludrs/1.1/mem/mobile/current-user-id -->
xxxxxxx735

Try the python -m site and see if lds_org is installed in your site-packages directory. Additionally, python virtual environment makes it easy to create and toss away a python setups. I highly recommend it!

[alundiak]

python -m site is analogue result as I shown before using $ python print (sys.path):

sys.path = [

python3 -m site

DIFF I see, that site for python3 is installed in diff. lib: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages and not in

Regarding virtualenv, I know about it, but I try to avoid, unless it's really really needed.
I'm well knowledgable about Unix environments, and maintain different folders of diff dist of Python is ok for me, unless I need 10 versions of python :) Then I will use virtualenv. But IMHO, the fact of existence of virtualenv, shows not-ideal state of Python itself. I think Language must provide and support ONLY one stable version. But I also know, that 2 vs. 3 is significant diff. So virtual env is very good in solving issues these days.

[alundiak]

@jidn Looks like I solved issue.

brew link python3
brew link python3 --overwrite --dry-run python3
brew link python3 --overwrite python3

And after that both these commands give similar output

python3 -m lds_org
#or
python -m lds_org

So with my Setup is ok. But ...

[alundiak]

Back to my question 1 - is it ok to have that output from LDS? I mean list of

[action-and-interview-list] https://www.lds.org/mls/mbr/services/report/action-interview-list/unit/{unit}/?lang=eng
[action-and-interview-list-full] https://www.lds.org/mls/mbr/services/report/action-interview-list/full/unit/{unit}/?lang=eng
...

??

And question 2:

When I type wrong username or password, it still shows the same result:

python -m lds_org 
LDS.org username:alundiak_bad
LDS.org password: # I entered not valid password here

[action-and-interview-list] https://www.lds.org/mls/mbr/services/report/action-interview-list/unit/{unit}/?lang=eng

Yes, it is OK to get that output. Unless you specify an endpoint, the default is to show a list of all standard endpoints.

The command line arguments for the module are:

(testing) /tmp $ python /tmp/testing/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lds_org.py --help
usage: lds_org.py [-h] [-e ENDPOINT] [-m MEMBER] [-u UNIT] [-j] [--log LOG]
                  [args [args ...]]

positional arguments:
  args         Arguments for endpoint URLs

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -e ENDPOINT  Endpoint to pretty print
  -m MEMBER    Member number
  -u UNIT      Unit number other than authorized users
  -j           output as JSON
  --log LOG    Filename for log, - for stdout

However, it shouldn't ask for a password and username. Looks like I need to put in a signin=False in the initialization. If there are endpoints, it will then attempt a sign in. I will fix this. Thank you for pointing this out.
