Pelican: No valid files in content after clean install

[karlcow]

1. Install Mac OS X 10.9 (get a wipe out of site-packages)
2. sudo pip install pelican (everything is fine)

3. make html

   → make html
   [ ! -d /Users/karl/pelican/output ] || find /Users/karl/pelican/output -mindepth 1 -delete pelican /Users/karl/pelican/content -o /Users/karl/pelican/output -s /Users/karl/pelican/pelicanconf.py
   WARNING: No valid files found in content.
   Done: Processed 0 articles and 0 pages in 0.37 seconds.

The content has not changed. Everything is in place. Previously I was in 3.2 instead of 3.3. The configuration file is still the same. For what is worth, my content is in a dated space. For example.

content/2013/10/25/foo.md

Not sure what happened :)

Did you check the FAQ?

oh. thanks. @justinmayer
solved after reinstalling markdown.
Hmm… Maybe there is a room for a better warning. I can't proposed a patch right now and I guess it should be a separate issue than this one.

Hi, could someone give me help?
My OS is Windows 7, I'm sure that I have installed the markdown and added its path( 'D:Python27\Scripts') into the system path.
However, when I execute 'make html', 'No valid files found in content' still appear.

+1 for better warning. Suggestion: "Make sure you have installed all necessary packages, e.g., markdown. See FAQ for more info."

Such a message would have saved me about 10minutes.

+1 for better warning.

For the record, the fix here is just to install the markdown python package (eg, pip install markdown)
