RE: [Boa Constr] Newbie help please!

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
