I know this aint a Python board but I figured you guys should

Just use wget, curl and a bit of regexp.

Thanks a lot, will try.

But it would still be nice to know what's wrong with the code tho.

>>57946887
>but the only thing I am getting are errors.

The errors you have shown are non-existing. Just try again. The errors are seemingly not real, I have not seen any.

>>57947134
I tried serveral times with different URLS and different directories. Every single time it tells me that basename () only takes 1 argument (2 given).

>>57947167
well... Put the whole pastebin link here and I will look at it. "(it's a pastebin url) /ABxnkqA7" is not a real functioning adress

>>57947167
Show the proper error you idiot, what line, what are you trying to run?

>>57947188
I can't cause 4chan won't let me post it. If you put the "/ABxnkqA7" part after the basic pastebin Url, it should work.

>>57947200
The whole script is in the pastebin url. My error is basically this:

[*] Downloading: fulltext.pdf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ALL_PDF_2.py", line 35, in <module>
f = open(download_path + "\\" + os.path.basename(tag['href'], "wb"))
TypeError: basename() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

I executed the script with: python ALL_PDF_2.py and put the URL and the directory in through the raw input contained in the script.

>python
lmfao

Is this something new? Have seen tons of pastebins here.

>>57947272
Looks like you have the wrong version of Python. Are you using python 3? Because this is Python 2 code. (Easiest way to see this is by looking in the print statements, they do not have parantheses)

the os.path.basename() might take 2 arguments in python 2. In any case you have the wrong version.

Install python 2 and if you have both python 3 and python 2 installed then run python 2 with

$py -2 -m ALL_PDF_2.py

(I don't think -m is strictly necessary because it does not have any relative imports, but often good practice)

>>57947378
I am using only python 2,7 so this can't really be the problem. Maybe the script is from an older version of python 2? Could that be it? If so, how would I get an older version of python without fucking up the most recent one?

And somehow it only wouldn't let me post the pastebin link in the thread itself, a post containing the url seems fine.

install gentoo

>Can anyone help with this? I am kinda new to programming..
no youre not

if you cant read line 35
> f = open(download_path + "\\" + os.path.basename(tag['href'], "wb"))

and the doc page for python 2 on open() and os.path()
and realize its a paranthesis that is out of place..

whats that "wb" hummm?
you should have just asked this to whoever gave you the link, so they could fix the code

>>57947523
So why the hell did it work for other people?

>>57947523
>gentoo

I am using windows 8 btw.
