Γειά χαρά, i don't maintain any more the Mandriva rpm, i do the rpm for Mageia
http://www.mageia-gr.org/rpm/2/noarch/pysmssend-1.48-1mgr2.noarch.rpm
A question, it is ok that this file has the 1.45 version ?
/home/dglent/rpm/BUILDROOT/pysmssend-1.48-1mgr2.x86_64/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pysmssend-1.45-py2.7.egg-info
i have installed it without problems in an opensuse 11.4 and i have no problems sending messages directly from the command line as this:
pysmssend -v -a voipdiscount -u textnumbers -p text -n 123456789 "message"
but when it comes to register to the voipdiscount account from the gui i get the following error:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'foobar' referenced before assignment
as i wrote in the command line above, user name it's only letters and number and generally no special characters contained. Could you help me to understand what i'm doing wrong?
All in all it's a very nice app, gratz ;).
ty in advance
Hiho :D
Thx for your work!
But did you will support the CherrySMS Service it sent sms for 2,5€/Cent and is extreme popular in germany...
Thx and best wishes from hamburg / germany
Hi,
SMS integration into KDE is a really good thing. There are quite a few of these apps on KDE-Apps. Unfortunately most of these only support a few services. Your app seems bigger. May be you could win the other devs for a joint SMS-app, which
- uses the KDE-adressbook / Akonadi as a resource for the mobile no
- allows to integrate new services via the KDENEWSTUFF-API
The later would be very, very useful.
Personally I would be happy to see:
Skype-SMS, http://www.sloono.de/ (SMS-Service for Germany and Switzerland), API is here: http://www.sloono.de/API/ and SMS3000 (a good German service http://sms3000.de/) integrated.
Hi,
because of missing encrypt.pyc inserting the accounts fails from myinserts.py.
pysmssend calls python2.4, which fails and cp encrypt.pyc to/usr/lib doesn't work on 64bit machines.
Greetings
m0nk
I cannot verify that
Encryption was never imported in official releases.just on beta ones but then decided not to implement this function
Are you using the beta version or the official 1.34 released?
Thanks
Hi, version 1.3.4 from the link above. But there are two links to 1.3.4. I tried both, one leading to sf.net, the second directly to a download.

Any chance of supporting yahoo which allows sending of free sms?
http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/1008570.html
Thats a link to a site explaining it and has a form to submit a sms through yahoo.
Oh my god that is so weird
No you dont need to have credits to login. It works fine on me
What distro are you using?
I assume that you are using the install/uninstall scripts
As far as I know python modules are in /usr/lib/python2.X
At least this is the path on Gentoo/Arch/Debian I checked
The uninstall script assumes that modules are installed on the above path and not on /usr/local/etcetc
So please delete the modules from /usr/local/ etc and also delete the /usr/share/pysmssend folder and run install.sh once more. But please make sure that you deleted the modules because the bugfixes concern all the modules
Let me know and thanks for the debugging :)
Hi again,
sorry, but commandline returns the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pysmssend", line 426, in <module>
if len(iter) < 4:#if arguments are less than 4
And login still doesn't work from GUI!?
Do I need credits for being able to login?
I didn't mean the program, but the python modules get installed to /usr/local/lib/python2.5, where they will not be found by interpreter.
So I changed your install script to:
python setup.py install --prefix=/usr

1) I think you should not use " " except the text part. As far as I can see you didnt secified a text . so you sould use
pysmssend -a lowratevoip -u bla -p bla -n 123 "Hello"
Give that a try.
2) You used the installed script? Its copies everything on /usr/share/pysmssend. I think the deb packages copies everything on /usr/local
3) I am working on login error. I didnt have a lowrate account so I create one and I am trying to fix the problem. Thank you very much
I ll write back when the new version is available
Hi,
after installing, pysmssend shows up the following error:
pysmssend -a "lowratevoip" -u "XXXXXXXX" -p "XXXXXXXX" -n "XXXXXXXXXXX"
---->
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pysmssend", line 426, in <module>
if len(iter) < 4:#if arguments are less than 4
TypeError: object of type 'dictionary-itemiterator' has no len()
Btw. Your install script copies files to /usr/local.
That doesn't work here, too
Oh, login to lowrateip fails also in GUI, but works in browser.
Any suggestions?
Greetings

Compatibility fixed for both kde3+kde4 kaddressbook. Needs more testing though

Thank you for packaging it. Yeah the setup.py file has the wrong version number but it should cause no problems.
