Kevin,
I apologize for the delay on this one...
Your pointers helped me fix the problem.=20
When I ran:
>>> from PythonCard.components import floatcanvas
I received some additional information indicating that floatcanvas could =
not
import numarray, and thus would not load. Once I made numarray available, =
*POOF* all the=20
symtoms I previously saw went away.
Thanks for the help,
Michael

Hmm, I'm not seeing that problem on either my Windows or Mac box. The =20
PythonCard/components/floatcanvas.py module does its import of the =20
wxPython FloatCanvas class as
from wx.lib.floatcanvas import FloatCanvas as FCanvas
in order to avoid name collision problems. In resource.py it should be =20
attempting to load the component from the PythonCard/components =20
directory and for some reason on your box that is causing an exception. =
=20
Does the floatCanvasTest sample also fail?
This won't be exactly the same, but start Python and at the >>> prompt =20
type
from PythonCard.components import floatcanvas
and see if that also throws an exception. How about if you do that from =
=20
the codeEditor shell? Does it make any difference what directory you =20
start in if you run from the command-line?
You can check your path that Python uses to import modules and packages =
=20
with the following lines in the shell:
import sys
sys.path
Is anyone else working from cvs seeing this problem?!
BTW, there is a problem with the actual wx.lib.floatcanvas module since =
=20
Chris used the method name Move when he shouldn't have. It has been =20
changed to MoveImage along with the call to Move in the code, but that =20
isn't in wxPython 2.5.2.8, so you would have to change it yourself.
If nothing else works, I suggest simply renaming =20
components/floatcanvas.py to floatcanvas.txt or something like that so =20
that the resourceEditor doesn't attempt to import it until we get this =20
problem figured out.
