Hi everyone - Ailie here! Great to meet you all today :)

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to get Bagit.Python running - I've never tried running a Python script before/well never got one to work!

I've installed Python and Homebrew - I don't know why I can't get the Pip command to work?

Any ideas? :)

[llawlis]

I found this article which was helpful: https://patchbay.tech/blog/2017/12/15/using-bagit-in-2018/

[llawlis]

I tried changing the Shell to Bash vs. Zsh as well but have no idea if that worked or not!

Happy for any advice!

[AilieOHagan]

Hi @llawlis I haven't tried this with BagIt yet, but I've only been able to get pip to work for me when I use it in my normal operating systems terminal (I just used the Command Prompt). Not sure if that helps at all - and you might have already gotten it working by now! This sounds like it could be a nice one for us to try out together in the Study Group :)

Hi @llawlis - I found a handy script you can use if you want to check whether a module is installed or not. Maybe try:

[llawlis]

Thanks @AilieOHagan!!! I will try that and let you know how it goes!

Hi everyone - just sharing a DigiPres Sandbox developed by DPC's Andy Jackson. Could be a useful space for us to test out code before we let it loose on our work stations! The link to Andy's DigiPres Workbench is: https://github.com/digipres/workbench

[laradfs]

Thanks for sharing, Ailie. It's not really clear to me how to use this. If you have and found it helpful, maybe you can demonstrate at our next meeting.

Hi all, per our meeting today, I was going to try to upload the code I have been working on to our space here in Github. However, when I try to do so, it says uploads are disabled. Am I missing something?

Hi Lara, you need to request write access for the code repository of group 14 here:

[ccllaa]

I am not going to make it today. I just returned from my holidays, and need to catch up with everything. Have a good meeting!

[ccllaa]

Hi everybody from Cohort 14!
Again, I cannot make it. The weeks before Xmas are so busy! It was a pleasure to have met you! Even though I spent less time then I wanted for the Python course, I profited from it. I wish you a nice Xmas holiday!
