Install problem - SuSE9.1

[robert_sf]

i am having a problem getting drPython to work on a SuSE9.1 box.
can anyone provide some suggestions on what i should be doing to get it to run?
thanx - robert

Installed:
SuSE9.1
python-wxGTK 2.4.2.4-138
wxGTK 2.4.2.4-138
wxGTK-gl 2.4.2.4-138
python 2.3.3-85

In Python:
>>>help()
>modules
lists: wx (package) and wxPython (package) as available to Python.

Trying to run: drpython.py (after modifying: " #!/usr/bin/python " from " #!/usr/bin/env python ") brings up the following err. msgs.:

drPython 3.4.1 unzipped in /home/user directory and being run from there. is this ok?

Welcome to the club :)

you need to install wxPython 2.5, then everything
will be ok.
Bind for example is new in 2.5.

hi Franz-
thanx for the welcome. :-)

installed wxPython 2.5 along with gtk+ from a redhat rpm using YAST. tried to start drPython 3.4.1, it comes up with some new messages :-) can you help? thanx

Hello Robert,

sorry, I have no answer (I run drPython only on Windows Xp)
the wxPython Demo is working?

what I've found in google:
You'll probably need to remove the shared modules that were built with
the different UCS setting, then "make" again.

I've expanded my config options from --with-pydebug to include
--enable-unicode=ucs4

maybe this ?

[robert_sf]

hello Franz-

You may have hit on it. wxPython, the demo, used to run before upgrading it to 2.5, now not. So, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with drPython. I will explore your suggestion. In the mean time, it's back to IDLE:-). I'm a newbie in this world of Python, having been captured by the "elegance" of the language and M.Lutz's presentation of it in his book "Learning Python".

thanx-robert

Ahoy,

   Did you install the GTK2 or GTK version?  2.5.1.x or 2.5.2.x?

   Plus, you need to uninstall the older versions of wxPython, or stuff can misbehave.

   Try uninstalling wxPython,
and download from the wxPython website the latest
for your version of python.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks Franz, thanks Don.

I removed the wxPython that SuSE installed and opted for the wxpythonGTK-Python2.3 RedHat rpm from the wxpython site. RPM installed clean and lo and behold drPython came to life.

Have not pursued it past that point yet.
