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()

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
