Question

I managed to install Python OEmbed, an extension to markdown in my system.

When I use it on my system everything works fine,

import markdown
md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=['oembed'])
md.convert('!(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqnh_YJBvOI)')

And I get the following answer:

u'<iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zqnh_YJBvOI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>'

Then I tryed to just import the library, copying the folder from

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

To my application folder.

Markdown works fine, but if I tryed to load the extension:

md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=['oembed'])
html = md.convert(body)

I receive the following error.

ImportError: Failed loading extension 'oembed' from 'markdown.extensions.oembed' or 'mdx_oembed'

It seems that the extension in intalled somewhere else, but I don’t know where.

I’ve been going in circles for hours, without understanding how to properly use this extension in my app.

Any help?

Thanks

Answer 1

After thinking on a different problem for some time, I realized that I had to copy both the folders

mdx-oembed
oembed 

to the main folder of my app

That solved my problems
