pyhton3 db_updater.py error: Import syslog fails on Windows about cve-search HOT 16 CLOSED

I'm not sure if syslog is in our requirements file. Try installing the module with pip3

from cve-search.

@PidgeyL
Thanks for the reply.

pip install syslog

and

pip3 install syslog

no work.

C:\Users\Administrator>pip install syslog Collecting syslog Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement syslog (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for syslog

I think syslog is unique Linux. And I have Windows. But I think.
It's strange, because it can install "pip install -r requirements.txt" without problems.

from cve-search.

syslog is not uniquely Linux, but there might be some other way to install it. I know Linux (at least ubuntu 14.04) generally has it installed, as it's often used, and Linux uses a lot of python. Windows does not use python by default, so probably, therefore it's not available from the start.

A quick search does not bring up much (for Windows). @adulau maybe we should use the logging module instead, which should be available on both Windows and Linux

from cve-search.

Indeed the logging module should be more portable.

from cve-search.

Thanks @PidgeyL @PidgeyL
It is posible change the module syslog for logging module?
logging has the advantage that logging is platform independent, so it works on both Windows and Linux
It is easy or very complicated?

from cve-search.

I am directly working on the admin interface. If @adulau hasn't finished it by the time I'm ready, I'll do it

from cve-search.

I'll have a look.

from cve-search.

I just merged a potential fix. Could you pull and try on your Windows machine? and let me know.

from cve-search.

@adulau Thanks. Now other new error.

from cve-search.

Thanks for the feedback. I see that's now the path builder that was only designed for Unix-like operating system. I'll have a look to make it more portable.

from cve-search.

@adulau @PidgeyL Thanks to you.
Sorry for the inconvenience ... If one day come to Argentina, I invite the famous meat "Asado" :P

@adulau @PidgeyL
Hi! Any news?

from cve-search.

@adulau @sugusrojo
Running into the same issue on windows.I always need to modify the line like this so it will work:
subprocess.Popen(source['updater']).wait()

is there any fix for this issue yet?

from cve-search.

Does this issue still occur?
If not, or no response, I'll close this issue

from cve-search.

i have the problem. so yes, it still happens.
i am also looking for the solution

from cve-search.

Stale issue message
