Hi. Just finished going through the text editor tutorial that comes with Boa Constructor and am very impressed with wxPython. I do have a question about accessing the Help files though. When I click on any of the Help icons, I get a Python error message. The details are as follows: 10:18:08 PM: Traceback (most recent call last): 10:18:08 PM: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Editor.py", line 1178, in OnHelp Help.showHelp('Editor.html') 10:18:08 PM: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Help.py", line 267, in showHelp getHelpController().Display(filename) 10:18:08 PM: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Help.py", line 323, in Display self.frameX = wxHelpFrameEx(self) 10:18:08 PM: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Help.py", line 425, in __init__ self.indexPanel.GetChildren()[:3] 10:18:08 PM: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 8302, in __getitem__ return _core_.WindowList___getitem__(*args, **kwargs) 10:18:08 PM: TypeError: in method 'WindowList___getitem__', expected argument 2 of type 'size_t' The help pages came up regardless, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing due to the error. Any suggestions? ~Grant. |

I just tried them on my testing copy of Boa running under Python 2.6.2 and they work for me. Are you using 2.6.2 or is in an earlier version of 2.6? What OS are you running this on? I tried on Windows Vista. If you just start with Python and/or wxPython you might at the moment be better of with Python 2.5.4 as 2.6 is still relatively new and lots of libraries etc do not yet work with 2.6 or work only using some work around.
