Homemade Stock Ticker tutorial
-
I am interested in trying to work with Python on the Onion, so I tried to walk through the "homemade stock ticker" tutorial in the projects section. I followed the instructions thoroughly but in the end could not reproduce the results of the project. Upon running a single instance of the code I received the following error:
root@Omega-2166:/# ./stock.sh AAPL
Clearing display

Initializing display
Writing '' to displayIt appears to me that there is some incompatibility with the JSON lib that the tutorial calls for importing. I loaded Python per the tutorial, but it looks like some additional step is necessary. Has anyone worked with this tutorial and gotten a different result?

@Michael-Matyas Try running:
opkg update opkg install python-codecsIf you get further errors, you might have installed
python-lightinstead of the fullpythonpackage.
To install the full python package:opkg update opkg install python

I'm getting a similar error on this same program and these commands both said that python is up to date?
