Re: [Bitpim-devel] bitpim (CVS) and wxPython 2.5.x (CVS) do not get along...

  I must have made a typo when I composed the original email. Sorry for  
the confusion. ;-)

  I installed all the packages/binaries as described on the MacOS X page  
link on the bitpim page. It would not run. I don't know what  
dependency/etc the problem was with, I just know that I am doing  
development work (wxWindows on the Mac) that requires features only in  
the 2.5.x tree, so that is why I'm down this road. I'm not implying  
anything about the other versions, I haven't tested them extensively  
nor did I spend time trying to ferret out the problems.

  One last question, and if you think this is due to 2.5.x changes, I'll  
punt...

  Still errors when doing the pubsub stuff, updated to CVS file versions:

    pubsub.py,v 1.3 2003/12/03 10:55:22 rogerb
    phonebook.py,v 1.33 2003/12/04 04:27:39 rogerb
    phonebookentryeditor.py,v 1.9 2003/12/03 10:54:56

  I receive this error still:   (again, I'm just learning Python, so I'm  
having a hard time grokking some bits)

  An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.

  It seems to hinge on this part:

    File "/Users/n9yty/my_cvs/bitpim/bitpim/phonebook.py", line 312, in  
OnMergeCategories
     cats=msg.data[:]
    TypeError: unhashable type

  From my digging, I have not yet uncovered the most likely cause of  
this type of error.
