Return-in

[arashf]

Upon trying to return-in my PS1, I get the following error:

athena% returnin6170 ps1
/mit/python/bin/python2.3: can't open file '/mit/6.170/etc/python/Returnin.pyo'
athena%

ideas?

Returnin has not yet been enabled:

"Returnin will be enabled an 9pm, March 8 for problem set 1." - (http://web.mit.edu/6.170/www/psets/ps1/ps1.html#Returnin)

I tried shortly after 9pm, and got this:
(~/6.170/psets/ps1) athena% returnin6170                                       
Returnin for problem set 1 will be enabled shortly.  Please try again later.    

Then I tried a few minutes ago, and got this:
(~/6.170/psets/ps1) athena% returnin6170                                       
Traceback (most recent call last):                                             
  File "./Returnin.py", line 44, in ?                                           
NameError: name 'programName' is not defined                                    

Is this my fault?  Does this count against our 3 tries?

[edit]
Sometimes when I run it, I get the following line prepended to the second error above (the one with NameError):
attach: /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/python attached to /mit/python for filesystem
Doubt that in and of itself is an error, but just thought it might be useful for debugging.  Also, I am on an SSH connection - I haven't tried on a physical machine.

Returnin should work better now.  The server was in some sort of disarray in the last couple of hours.  Your incomplete attempts will not count against you (a complete returnin submission involves creating a tarball, whose location we indicate in the console output).

Then I tried a few minutes ago, and got this:
(~/6.170/psets/ps1) athena% returnin6170                                       
Traceback (most recent call last):                                             
  File "./Returnin.py", line 44, in ?                                           
NameError: name 'programName' is not defined                                    

You probably did not use the right arguments (i.e. 'ps1').  We've fixed it to give a better error message.

Sometimes when I run it, I get the following line prepended to the second error above (the one with NameError):
attach: /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/python attached to /mit/python for filesystem

See if it works now.  Thanks.

Yup, "returnin6170 ps1" did the trick.  Thanks - I await the e-mail.

[edit] received the e-mail. everything worked - thanks. [/edit]
