Error while executing "paster shell example.ini" in reddit.com
Question: Friends!!! I am frustated since last five days working on implementing
reddit.com on a ubuntu 9.10 machine.

Yes, I know that reddit.com has been tested on ubuntu intrepid. But now i want
to install it on U9.10

I have installed postgresql database, created user copied the files, and
installed all the dependencies.

Everything is installed perfectly as described in the document
<http://code.reddit.com/wiki/RedditStartToFinishIntrepid> until the line:

> $ paster shell example.ini

this line gives me a error and i couldnt figure out where the problem lies.

Kindly guys please help me, take me out of my own frustration.

Thanks in Advance


Answer: Newer version of python-webhelpers doesn't have asset_tag.py, you need to
install an older version (0.6.4) for Pylons 0.9.6:

wget
<http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/W/WebHelpers/WebHelpers-0.6.4.tar.gz>
&& tar -xf WebHelpers-0.6.4.tar.gz && cd WebHelpers-0.6.4 && python setup.py
build && sudo python setup.py install && cd .. && sudo rm -r WebHelpers-0.6.4*
