Re: [Boa Constr] Bicyclerepairman needs a repair!

[F.A. P. <f_...@ly...>]

Hi Tim, Werner,


I did the repeat test and got the same results.
So here is what I did.


Removed from site packages:
Folder: bike
Files: All starting will Bicycle... and bike...

Download from sourceforge the version 0.9 of BicycleRepairMan

 From the folder where you expanded the download.
Edit File: \ide-intergation\BicycleRepairMan_Idle.py
---This is what has the wrong indentation and garbage:

    def confirm_buffer_is_saved(self, editwin):
        if not editwin.get_saved():
            name = (editwin.short_title()or
            editwin.long_title()or
            "Untitled")
            reply = tkMessageBox.askokcancel("Bicycle Repair Man",
                "The buffer for %s is not saved.\n\n"%name+
                "Save it and continue?",
                master = self.editwin.text)
          &nbs p; self.editwin.text.focus_set()
            if reply:
                editwin.io.save(None)
            else:
                return 0
        return 1

I used Python IDLE to do this while Boa/Editor complained about my 
unicode install.

 From the above you also have to remove this:  &nbs p;
I aligned self.editwin.focus_set() with reply.
Now the above section looks like this:


     def confirm_buffer_is_saved(self, editwin):
         if not editwin.get_saved():
             name = (editwin.short_title()or
             editwin.long_title()or
             "Untitled")
             reply = tkMessageBox.askokcancel("Bicycle Repair Man",
                 "The buffer for %s is not saved.\n\n"%name+
                 "Save it and continue?",
                 master = self.editwin.text)
             self.editwin.text.focus_set()
             if reply:
                 editwin.io.save(None)
             else:
                 return 0
         return 1


save the editted file.

 From the folder remove the file:
bike/query/getPackageDependencies.py
You may look at it first, I found it not very repairable.

Return to Boa
 From the expanded downlaod folder load the file
setup.py
Run: File/setup install

Restart Boa.

Now it should work.
It did for me, but... on BRM Definition it sometimes it crashed Python 
or it found a syntax error or the wrong definition
It found dlg.GetPath() with only GetPath selected, but crashedon
parents.getParentsList() with only getParentsList selected.
It did find parents.getParentsList select in total.
Sorry, I forgot to note the occasion the syntax error.
It found something totally unrelated with Family.select() with only
select selected.
Do I have exclusive rights on these errors? Could the removal of 
getDependencies.py explain all of the above?

File/setup install does copy a lot from downloaded files and folders 
into a new created folder, in the same folder the setup.py resides, 
named build.
Once this folder is present it stops doing that, so changing downloaded 
files once this folder is present has no effect. To do that just delete 
it, it is save to do that while it is not part of the download.

The same holds for the destination of the files in 
Python25\lib\site-packages. Once there they are not 'replaced'
Python25 is where I installed Python,wxPython and Boa.

I thought setup clean would remove this build folder, it seems to do 
something while I heard the disk rattle a while.

I hope this helps.

I posted on bicyclerepair-general list at SF and mailed to the project 
admin.

what can we do more?
