no more automatically generated readings and meanings

[unsermanninchina]

since some while still using kubuntu 11.10 kde 4.8.1 or 4.8.2 automatically generated sounds, readings and meanings doesn't work anymore, regardless using German or English. Google doesn't translate, too. It just stays empty.

BStill working is this: you add manually pinyin with numbers it's still changing it into coloured pinyin tone version. Manually adding the pinyin into the sound field it's finding the soundfiles as well.

But, that's half of the fun :-(

I have this issue too in Debian Sid.
Anki version is 1.2.9, toolkit version is 0.6.6

So do I on Ubuntu 12.04, with Anki 1.2.9 and Pinyin Toolkit 0.6.6.

Here is what Anki tells me; I am of course connected as "fabien":

An error occurred in a plugin. Please contact the plugin author.
Please do not file a bug report with Anki.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/anki/ankiqt/ui/main.py", line 2680, in loadPlugins

File "/home/fabien/.anki/plugins/pinyin/../pinyin/vendor/cjklib/cjklib/build/init.py", line 62, in
from sqlalchemy.exceptions import OperationalError
ImportError: No module named exceptions

Anybody could help with that? :)

The cjklib is outdated (And there is no new one). There are wrong python requests.
Check in ~/.anki/plugins/pinyin/vendor/cjklib/cjklib/buuild/builder.py
for "sqlalchemy.exceptions" and change it into "sqlalchemy.exc"
That should do it for pinyin tootlkit.

Out of topic, but maybe people use cjklib for other software too:
I have the same problem with other software using cjklib (here Eclectus)
In the case of Eclectus the wrong files are here:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cjklib/build/cli.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cjklib/build/builder.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cjklib/build/init.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eclectusqt/update.py

This actually doesn't solve the problem mentioned in this issue. But pinyintoolkit is starting with this changes.

[vershinin]

Solution was to install new anki version (1.2.11)

[unsermanninchina]

Same here, installing 1.2.11 and pinyin-toolkit runs again like before.
