[Boa Constr] Porting 0.0.13 to wxPython 2.3.2

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

I was wondering if anyone has had any success porting
Boa 0.0.13 to wxPython 2.3.2 in a GTK environment. 
I'm just beginning to look at this and there seem to
be a wide range of problems to address.  There are a
large number of GTK errors (eg. Gtk-CRITICAL **: file
gtkwidget.c: line 1388 (gtk_widget_destroy): assertion
`GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed.)  which I think are
going to be difficult to rectify without a solid
knowledge of wxPython internals (which I don't have). 
There is also the issue of generated code complying
with wxPython 2.3.2.  The major issue appears to be
elimination of size and pos attributes for
wxStatusBar.  Does anyone know of other blatant
non-compliant code issues?  There are of course also a
plethora of minor bugs.

[Boa Constr] Product Status

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to the
status of this project.  Reading through the message
logs of this list it seems that Riaan is the only
developer.  However, there have been no posts from him
since last September, and the last update to a file on
CVS was in early October.  At that stage it seemed
that 0.1 was imminent.

I'm asking because I'm new to this product and I'm
finding a lot of problems (core dumps, errors from GTK
etc) with the designer under Python2.2/WxPython2.3.2
(GTK environment) and would like to know if there's
any chance of getting them fixed.  Also there's the
issue of the generated code complying only to some old
version of wxPython (2.2?).

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

John Bell

Re: [Boa Constr] PLEASE put boa 0.0.13 to the downloads!

[Blaine L. <bl...@te...>]

I got this off SF in the "Site Docs" area
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=764&group_id=1

Here is the highlights:
Daily tarballs of entire project CVS Repositories are now available for
backup or mirroring purposes.
These tarballs are generated daily, and ar available at :
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/projectname-cvsroot.tar.gz
where projectname is the UNIX name of the project you want to download.

Good luck

RE: [Boa Constr] CVS Release Question

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

Sorry about the short reply, but I'm heading out of town soon. The
documentation is available as a separate download, and is not included in
CVS, because it is pretty big file. You should be able to find the zip file
on the Boa site somewhere, or seach the archives of this list where I've
posted instructions before. If I had more time I'd tell you exactly where to
find it. Hope that helps.

[Boa Constr] CVS Release Question

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

Sorry, but this question is a little off topic as it
has more to do with CVS than Boa.  After downloading
0.0.13 with the standard cvs command I note that the
Docs directory is essentially empty.  Everything is in
the Docs/Attic directory.  How do you go about
downloading this?  For all I know other stuff is also
missing.

Well, that far I've got myself too. But the designer still produces some
errors. Being new to wxWindows, wxPython and Boa all together makes for
a hard start :(
Perhaps I'll try later to capture the errors and post them here ;)

[Boa Constr] What are plans re wxPython2.3.2 Support?

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

I've recently downloaded the 0.0.13 CVS release.  I
understand that Boa currently works wxPython2.2.5 and
produces code compliant with that version.  I've
looked through the mail archive and can't find any
indication of plans to move to a more recent version. 
Is there a timeline for moving to the current
wxPython?

RE: [Boa Constr] Boa & wxPython 2.3.2

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

What version have you ported?  I've just decided to
try out Boa after getting a little tired of the amount
of time it takes to discover all the "undocumented
secrets" of wxPython.  I downloaded 0.0.13 and started
hacking it to port to wxPython2.3.2/Python2.2/Linux.  

Naturally, being new to the product I am a little
cautious about hacking the code where I'm unsure of
the author's intent.  I'd be very interested in seeing
what you've done.

Well, I'm not an official developer (if such a thing exists for this

guarantees it works properly (I know there was a bug in 2.3.1, don't

[Boa Constr] common.defs.gtk

Okay, I've now started to get BOA running on my Redhat 7.2 system.
Right now Views/STCStyleEditor.py is dying while trying to do this:

 commonDefs = eval(cfg.Read(commonDefsFile))
 
It appears its looking for a file called common.defs.gtk.

Where do I get that? Sorry if this is a FAQ.

Re: [Boa Constr] Why are double-spaced lines necessary to make Frame Designer work?

[Blaine L. <bl...@te...>]

Warren,
My understanding is that it is required for parsing the methods.  Some of
the documentation does state that modifications to any _init_* methods are
strongly discouraged.

Personally I have done some changes to _init_* methods but with mixed
results, (ie. I probably didn't save any time in the end).

Okay, I've browsed through the source of boa-0.0.13, and I've noticed that

I have noticed that if I delete the empty lines shown here from my Frame

designer stops working:

class wxFrame1(wxFrame):
    def _init_coll_menuBar1_Menus(self, parent):

        parent.Append(menu = self.menu2, title = 'FileMenu')

    def _init_utils(self):

When you click on Preferences > Source > HTML (or try to edit a Zope DTML

Editing the file stc-styles.rc.cfg and removing that entry seems to have

Actually, none of the "Explorers" - ZopeExplorer, SSHExplorer, FTPExplorer,
DAVExplorer, are firing up when I click on them in the main Explorer window.
Could it be there's a config file/setting somewhere that hasn't been set?

The boa docs are a separate download. Look on the boa site or search the
message archives. I know I've posted a message about where to get the file.

You are probably better off asking the Zope folks or looking in the boa help
file (boa\Docs\boa\apphelp\Zope.html). I haven't anything with Boa and Zope
... yet. <wink>

RE: [Boa Constr] Newbie help please!

[Jon E. <jo...@pc...>]

Thanks for the help Patrick,

The traceback was -
____________________________________________________________________________
____

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "boa.py", line 455, in ?
    main()
  File "boa.py", line 438, in main
    app = BoaApp()
  File "boa.py", line 294, in __init__
    wxApp.__init__(self, false)
  File "c:\python21\wxPython\wx.py", line 1573, in __init__
    _wxStart(self.OnInit)
  File "boa.py", line 313, in OnInit
    inspector = Inspector.InspectorFrame(self.main)
  File "C:\Boacvs\boa\Inspector.py", line 107, in __init__
    self._init_ctrls(parent)
  File "C:\Boacvs\boa\Inspector.py", line 85, in _init_ctrls
    self.statusBar = wxStatusBar(id = wxID_INSPECTORFRAMESTATUSBAR, name =
'stat
usBar', parent = self, pos = wxPoint(0, 430), size = wxSize(282, 20), style
= wx
ST_SIZEGRIP)
  File "c:\python21\wxPython\stattool.py", line 55, in __init__
    self.this = apply(stattoolc.new_wxStatusBar,_args,_kwargs)
TypeError: size is an invalid keyword argument for this function
____________________________________________________________________________
________

So I removed "size = wzSize(282, 20)" from _init_ctrls in Inspector.py

I then got a similar Traceback saying "pos is an invalid argument..."

So I removed "pos = wxPoint(0, 430)"

Then I got "No drives defined, attempt autodetect?" - when I said "Yes" it
crashed with a Traceback so long, my DOS Window scrolled past it and I
couldn't get it back! So I tried again and said "No". This time I got an
error in ErrorStackFrm.py -line 45 - the Size and Pos arguments again.
Removed them.

This time it opened! :-)

But there was an error "can't open file 'C:\BOACVS\BOA\Docs/tips.txt' (error
3: the system cannot find the path specified)" ...not a big deal, but it
would be nice to fix it if that's possible?

Note : I found out the "No drives defined" error was cos I'd accidentally
downloaded everything as read-only from CVS! Oooops! Once i fixed that, it
was able to auto-detect the drives

Sorry for the long message, hoping it might help others in a similar
situation!

I now seem to have a working Boa... unless I missed something? But when I
click on Zope in the Transports, nothing happens. Is there a
config/preference I have to set somewhere to specify my Zope location,
username, password?

Cheers, Jon

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I posted another message about this, but you might not have seen it. In a
nutshell, a status bar method signature (ie, what parameters are expected)
changed in the wxPython beta. The boa code has not been updated yet. Again,
it is easy to fix. There are two spots in the boa code that call this status
bar method. The Python error message will give you the line number and file
name. Start boa from a dos window to see the complete error message. (C:\>
python boa.py) Simply remove the extra parameters from the method calls.

Hope that helps. (Wish I had documented this when I did it for myself.) Feel
free to write back if it didn't work or if you have further problems.

[Boa Constr] Newbie help please!

[Jon E. <jo...@pc...>]

Hi all,

I'm new to Boa - was pointed to it by various enthusiasts on the Zope
mailing lists, as a great editor for Zope, and a nice way to help me learn
"proper" Python.

However, I'm having troubles getting it installed!

I got the latest version of Boa from CVS. Scanned the mailing-list and saw a
post from Patrick K O'Brien -
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/2090/2001/11/0/7187507/ - saying that I
needed wxPython-2.3.2b7-Py21-hybrid.exe, which I've installed.

I then got the "You need wxPython 2.3.0" error on startup, which I got rid
of by deleting the relevant "if..." statement in Boa.py.

But now when I startup Boa, it seems to get as far as "Importing Inspector",
then gives "Error on startup - size is an invalid keyword argument for this
function" and then shuts down when I click OK ...and I'm stumped! :-)

Could anyone please give some (fairly simple) instructions on how to fix
this?

I'm running on Win2000 pro

Thanks in advance,

Cheers, Jon
