#193 crashes while starting up after a fresh install

[Tomasz]

I downloaded and installed wxGlade for the very first time ever. At the end of the installation process, there were two options: one to read the Readme file and the other to launch exGlade. I click OK and wxGlade came with the following error. Submitting a bug as being asked to.

Here is the log file.

Hi Thomasz,

it's probably a bug in the integration / usage of the installed faulthandler python package.

Temporary workarounds are:
1) deinstall the faulthandler package
2) disable using faulthandler within wxGlade by comment out the lines shown below (ca 314-319) in wxglade.py:

    try:
        import faulthandler
        faulthandler.enable()
        logging.info(_('Python fault handler found and activated'))
    except ImportError:
        logging.debug(_('Python fault handler not found'))

Regards,
Carsten

Hi Tomasz,

the bug is fixed in the development branch with 1979:f44a570dbb95 and in the stable branch with revision 1981:bc618cd960ca. The change will be also part of the next official release.

You can download and use the fixed version from the stable branch directly: https://bitbucket.org/agriggio/wxglade/get/WXG-BRANCH-VERSION_0_7_2.tar.gz .

The installation from such a downloaded source is described in section "Installation" of the wxGlade manual at http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/manual/installing.html .

Thank you for reporting this bug.
Carsten

The above download link gives:

Repository agriggio/wxglade not found

[Dietmar Schwertberger]

Which link? The "Mercurial Repository" link seems to work for me.
You can download "default" e.g. from here:
https://bitbucket.org/wxglade/wxglade/downloads/?tab=branches

The link with "agriggio/wxglade" in it:

I have just downloaded & installed v0.7.2 - which is currently the latest version.

I get exactly the same error - see attached.

Log file attached.

System is Win7-Pro, 64-bit.

If I follow workaround (2) from https://sourceforge.net/p/wxglade/bugs/193/#fd7d - disable using the fault handler - then WxGlade does start OK ...

[Dietmar Schwertberger]

Hello Andy,

please use the version from the repository.
(default branch)

The default branch is available from e.g. https://bitbucket.org/wxglade/wxglade/downloads/?tab=branches
