python markdown which version has a mark method

When experimenting with the brython project, running "scripts/make_dist" always gets an error: 

File "../scripts/make_dist.py", line 14, in <module>
 import make_doc  # lint:ok
File "/home/.../brython-3.1.1/scripts/make_doc.py", line 42, in <module>
 html, scripts = markdown.mark(src)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mark'

The problem is caused by the file github.com/brython-dev/brython/scripts/make_doc.py.

While looking deeper, the "Lib/browser/markdown.py" or "Lib/markdown2.py" under its "www/src/" do contain a function "mark()" in each of them. Though those files are tailored for running inside a browser, cannot be used on a host/unix environment.

Which "markdown" version contains such a "mark()" function? Where are those brython markdown/markdown2 files derived from? How do you run "make_dist.py"?

Solution

  • It's hard to be sure, but you might have a module "markdown" in your Python distribution. In this case, import markdown would import this module, not the one provided by Brython.

    Just add print(markdown) after the line import markdown to check which module is imported.

    I will change make_doc.py to make sure the correct module is imported.
