- Python 3.5 or newer
- Podcastparser 0.6.0 or newer
- mygpoclient 1.7 or newer
- Python D-Bus bindings
As an alternative to python-dbus on Mac OS X and Windows, you can use the dummy (no-op) D-Bus module provided in "tools/fake-dbus-module/".
For quick testing, you can use the script tools/localdepends.py to install local copies of podcastparser and mygpoclient into "src/" from PyPI. With this, you get a self-contained gPodder CLI codebase.

To run tests, use...
make unittest
To set a specific python binary set PYTHON:
PYTHON=python3 make unittest
Tests in gPodder are written in two different ways:
If you want to add doctests, simply write the doctest and make sure that the module appears in "doctest_modules" in src/gpodder/unittests.py. For example, the doctests in src/gpodder/util.py are added as 'util' (the "gpodder" prefix must not be specified there).
If you want to add unit tests for a specific module (ex: gpodder.model), you should add the tests as gpodder.test.model, or in other words:
The file: src/gpodder/model.py
is tested by: src/gpodder/test/model.py
After you've added the test, make sure that the module appears in "test_modules" in src/gpodder/unittests.py - for the example above, the unittests in src/gpodder/test/model.py are added as 'model'. For unit tests, coverage reporting happens for the tested module (that's why the test module name should mirror the module to be tested).
To run gPodder from source, use..
bin/gpodder # for the Gtk+ UI
bin/gpo # for the command-line interface
To install gPodder system-wide, use make install. By default, this
will install all UIs and all translations. The following environment
variables are processed by setup.py:
LINGUAS space-separated list of languages to install
GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS space-separated list of UIs to install
GPODDER_MANPATH_NO_SHARE if set, install manpages to $PREFIX/man/man1
See setup.py for a list of recognized UIs.
Example: Install the CLI and Gtk UI with German and Dutch translations:
export LINGUAS="de nl"
export GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS="cli gtk"
make install
The "make install" target also supports DESTDIR and PREFIX for installing into an alternative root (default /) and prefix (default /usr):
make install DESTDIR=tmp/ PREFIX=/usr/local/
Debian and Ubuntu use dist-packages
instead of site-packages for third party installs, so you'll want something like:
sudo python3 setup.py install --root / --prefix /usr/local --optimize=1 --install-lib=/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages
In fact, first try running python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)" to check what is the exact path.
It depends on your version of python.
The run-time environment variable GPODDER_HOME is used to set the location for storing the database and downloaded files.
This can be used for multiple configurations or to store the download directory directly on a MP3 player or USB disk:
export GPODDER_HOME=/media/usbdisk/gpodder-data/
- default GPODDER_HOME="$HOME/Library/Application Support/gPodder"
- default GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/gPodder/download"
These settings may be modified by editing the following file of the .app :
/Applications/gPodder.app/Contents/MacOSX/_launcher
Add and edit the following lines to alter the launch environment on OS X :
export GPODDER_HOME="$HOME/Library/Application Support/gPodder"
export GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/gPodder/download"
The run-time environment variable GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR is used to set the location for storing the downloads only (independent of the data directory GPODDER_HOME):
export GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/media/BigDisk/Podcasts/
In this case, the database and settings will be stored in the default location, with the downloads stored in /media/BigDisk/Podcasts/.
Another example would be to set both environment variables:
export GPODDER_HOME=~/.config/gpodder/
export GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR=~/Podcasts/
This will store the database and settings files in ~/.config/gpodder/ and the downloads in ~/Podcasts/. If GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR is not set, $GPODDER_HOME/Downloads/ will be used if it is set.
By default, gPodder writes log files to $GPODDER_HOME/Logs/ and removes them after a certain amount of times. To avoid this behavior, you can set the environment variable GPODDER_WRITE_LOGS to "no", e.g:
export GPODDER_WRITE_LOGS=no
Extensions are normally loaded from gPodder's "extensions/" folder (in share/gpodder/extensions/) and from $GPODDER_HOME/Extensions/ - you can override this by setting an environment variable:
export GPODDER_EXTENSIONS="/path/to/extension1.py extension2.py"
In addition to that, if you want to disable loading of all extensions, you can do this by setting the following environment variable to a non- empty value:
export GPODDER_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=yes
If you want to report a bug, please try to disable all extensions and check if the bug still appears to see if an extension causes the bug.
