@Tim reports experiments with the SQLite export creates records of Events where the Event type is a numeric index. He hasn’t found the table being referenced and the add-on wiki page is kinda thin. Any suggestions?

Maybe we need to reference that Discourse thread on the Wiki page! [done]

Let me know if you want me to post anything here about my SQLite ‘experiments’. Happy for you to take the lead on this

You need to tell Python how to find the Gramps files. One way is to use PYTHONPATH before the Python interpreter starts. The other way is to make sure that the root directory of the Gramps files is appended to the sys.path in your code. This should be enough to help you web search for additional …

I thought I’d done that - “appended to the sys.path in your code” - with this [image] I’m going to ask someone who’s helped me before with this sort of thing to remote into my machine, and see if he can fix it. If he can, it’s going to be really helpful - and fun. Another option is for me to lea…
