Description
I tried many time to produce the pdf example with "python demo_context.py", under the "examples" folder, but I always get an error.
I thought it was a bug, and I have wait months in order to see it fixed... but today I took a look at the source and I realize that in my debian squeeze is missing the "context" module!
If Relatorio don't find "texexec" executable it produce an "obscure" error message, look at here here:
$ python demo_context.py
generating output_basic.pdf...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "demo_context.py", line 12, in <module>
content = report(o=inv).render().getvalue()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/relatorio-0.5.5-py2.5.egg/relatorio/templates/base.py", line 36, in render

return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()

errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1153, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I propose to check if the "texexec" exists or to catch this error in order to explain the problem ("'texexec' not found" or similar)
Thanks
Alessandro
