Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Search Recipes for Yahoo's BOSS in Python, here is a quick summary:

This entry is a bit of a cookbook for using Yahoo's Python library for accessing the BOSS Mashup Framework. It has full examples for searching the web, images, news , for paginating results, and for limiting searches to specific domains.

hi,Will

i get the same problem！

running any example under WinXP get error like this

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:searchapiboss_mashup_framework_0.1examplesex1.py", line 20, in <mo dule>

yn = db.create(name="yn", data=search("iphone", vertical="news", count=50))

File "C:Python25Libsite-packagesyosbossysearch.py", line 38, in search return rest.load_json(url)

File "C:Python25libsite-packagesyoscrawlrest.py", line 29, in load_json return simplejson.loads(download(url))

File "C:searchapiboss_mashup_framework_0.1examples_init_.py", line 313, in loads

File "buildbdist.win32eggsimplejsondecoder.py", line 321, in decode

File "buildbdist.win32eggsimplejsondecoder.py", line 340, in raw_decode

ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

and i hope this code can make sense to you

from yos.boss import ysearch

from yos.yql import db

data = ysearch.search("Django",count=10)

then get mistake

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>

data = ysearch.search("Django",count=10)

File "C:Python25Libsite-packagesyosbossysearch.py", line 38, in search return rest.load_json(url)

File "C:Python25libsite-packagesyoscrawlrest.py", line 29, in load_json return simplejson.loads(download(url))

File "buildbdist.win32eggsimplejson_init_.py", line 313, in loads

File "buildbdist.win32eggsimplejsondecoder.py", line 321, in decode

obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())

File "buildbdist.win32eggsimplejsondecoder.py", line 340, in raw_decode

raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")

ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

i think my simplejson runs well, i can get BOSS's data by using "urllib.urlopen",and use "simplejson.loads" to load the data

so it maybe encoding problem, but i don't know how to solve it

can you help me?

thx
