I'm good at Python but I'm having trouble getting the code running. If it's not an abuse of the site I might put up a top-level post for people interested in hacking on lesswrong to find each other and help each other out. Are there enough of us for that?
I got stuck trying to install Postgres 8.2 on my Intrepid machine - the advice I could find online mentions snapshot.debian.org but that seems to be broken :-(
I had some difficulties with it as well but I seem to have the code working locally now. I'd be happy to help others get it working as much as I can.
What OS did you get it running under, and how did you get the right version of PostgreSQL installed?
I got it working on my MacBook, using PostgreSQL 8.2. When installing psycopg I had originally installed it for the wrong version of PostgreSQL (8.3), so I had to uninstall it and reinstall it with the right version.
Gentoo Linux, and by using package-specific flags in the Portage package manager to force specific versions for stuff.
I seem to recall there were versioning issues with some Python packages as well, and a bit of modification needed in the example.ini file.
