[Pythoncard-users] Problems with CVS samples

[Andy T. <an...@ha...>]

After I had a look at my sample from the latest CVS I started to look at 
some of the others as well. I am getting some errors running textRouter. 
Since I'm not sure what is causing these errors I am just firing them to 
  the list for information. I've got the latest CVS of PythonCard 
running on Python 2.1 on Windows 98 with wxPython 2.3.1.

When I start the sample the console window shows;

"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "c:\work\python\PythonCardPrototype\wxPython_binding.py", line 
566, in dispatchOpenBackground
     self.dispatch.eventOccurred( event.OpenBackgroundEvent( 
self.scriptable ) )
   File "c:\work\python\PythonCardPrototype\dispatch.py", line 71, in

When I tried to access File|Preferences, I got;

line 356, in doExit
     if self.generalPrefs["autoSaveConfig"] == 'Yes':

"""

I'm also getting a strange layout in the window (screenshots available 
on request), but I think that is because this sample uses sizers which 
are not rendering very nicely on Windows98.

Andy

You may want to try wxPython-2.3.2b7-Py21-hybrid.exe, which is 2.3.2 beta
7. You can get it here:

wxURLDataObject is a wxPython 2.3.2 class for handling drag and drop of URLs
from browsers. The problem is most likely that the initialization gets
screwed up and so everything else breaks. I'm pretty sure Simon meant to add
a 2.3.2 check in his code and do a sys.exit() if not found or disable the
drag n drop, but I was rushing the update this morning, so it was
overlooked. If you ugprade to 2.3.2b7 the problem will go away, otherwise
just don't run that sample :) I'll wait until Simon has a chance to fix this
before I do a 0.5.2 release. Almost everyone in the USA will be stuffing
their faces with turkey tomorrow and shopping on Friday, so there is no
hurry.

OK, this is because the wxURLDataObject thing is new in 2.3.2b7 I think.

Kevin told me I should put a check in for it, but, I left it and 
left it :) opps.

The other two errors are caused because it doesn't finish loading after
this first error.  I'll get in a check in there and it should solve the
problems.

sorry about this.
