askbot-setup missing file

hello

I have used askbot-setup to install askbot, but there were no files like setting.py, just a folder named 'askbot'. How to solve this problem? Thanks.

Possibly there is a bug. Could you describe the steps you did in detail? askbot-setup creates the settings.py file. There is a template for the settings.py in the directory askbot/setup_templates - the template is not usable directly - you need to replace the {{}} variable placeholders with the actual values.

askbot-setup now became more interactive and there are many branches in the code - maybe one of them is broken, but if you hit enter on all answers except the directory name it should work. I do want to fix this asap - will really appreciate if you describe the steps better. Also - we will work on finishing the Chinese translation within two weeks - I would like to hire someone for this task. Know anyone?

I just followed the steps, and entered all answers, but it still did not work. No setting.py file :<

Did you take code from github or pypi?

Fixed in the repository. This bug never made it to pypi, so we don't need to rush a new release for this one.
