Planet Venus having issues with Wordpress

[Steve Van Bruwaene]

When I run this test, it sits for a bit, and then quite, giving me the
command line again with no output whatsoever.

When I run it against a wordpress 2.3.3 atom feed, I get:
$ python tests/reconstitute.py http://welcomehome.iteams.ca/feed/atom/
sh: xsltproc: command not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tests/reconstitute.py", line 85, in <module>
    os.removedirs(os.path.dirname(work))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python-2.5/lib/python2.5/os.py", line 179, in
removedirs
    rmdir(name)
OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty:
'/hermes/web01/b1749/pow.itcanada/planet/tests/work'

I get similar results for a blogspot blog.

So it looks like my xsl stuff isn't working, but then I'm not using it in my
setup anyway.  My setup involves standard planet planet config files and
templates, but using venus because it has more bug fixes.  (so htmltmpl
templates.)

Any idea what I can do next?  Is there a way to turn on more debugging info
so I can see where it's crashing?

Thanks!

Steve.
