solar_dome: gogrepo functioned successfully using python2.7.
Do you mean gogrepo (the Kalanyr fork) works ok for you with python 2.x, but not 3.x?
I thought at this point python3 is recommended or even required for gogrepo, but I guess Kalanyr needs to elaborate. I am using the original gogrepo with Python 3.x.x.
coffeecup: What are the benefits and drawbacks using gogrepo.py over lgogdownloader?
I haven't used lgogdownloader (but I've meant to), but at least the ability to run it also on Windows, as well as Linux, or any OS that supports python, is a benefit for me.
I am running gogrepo both on my Windows and Linux PCs. I recall earlier someone suggesting I could compile lgogdownloader myself for Windows if I want to use it on Windows, but I never got around to do that, also I am unsure if someone is now offering a Windows "port" of it already?
Was the Java port of lgogdownloader still actively supported? Does it run ok in Windows as long as one has Java installed?
EDIT: The little I've followed the lgogdownloader discussions (I have that thread stickied as well), to me it would appear lgogdownloader has more features than gogrepo currently, but I have no idea about the reliability etc., or are they both ok in that sense. But gogrepo currently does pretty much all I want, so I'm fine with gogrepo for now.
EDIT2: Yeah now I remember one drawback with gogrepo: the original author has been silent for quite a long time, I guess the real life took him (a new job and an engagement, IIRC). Luckily some have forked their own projects for gogrepo so I guess it is still actively supported. All I was still waiting from the original author was the change he mentioned earlier about making the "update" process (=getting file details from GOG servers) much faster than what it is currently. Too bad it never materialized, but oh well, it is just extra waiting with getting the file details...
