Thanks Phil!
what bugs me most is that Frescobaldi on linux works perfectly, on
macos (same pyhon and lib versions) it crashes on startup:
<PyQt4.QtCore.QPyNullVariant object at 0x10f581980>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "frescobaldi", line 3, in <module>
import frescobaldi_app.main
File "/Users/xhero/devel/frescobaldi-git/frescobaldi_app/main.py",
line 41, in <module>
import po.setup # Setup language
File "/Users/xhero/devel/frescobaldi-git/frescobaldi_app/po/setup.py",
line 74, in <module>
setup()
File "/Users/xhero/devel/frescobaldi-git/frescobaldi_app/po/setup.py",
line 64, in setup
mo = find(language)
File "/Users/xhero/devel/frescobaldi-git/frescobaldi_app/po/__init__.py",
line 41, in find
filename = os.path.join(podir, language + ".mo")
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'QPyNullVariant' and 'str'
The offending code is in setup.py, when it reads the language:
language = QSettings().value("language", "")
print language
if not language:
try:
language = locale.getdefaultlocale()[0]
except ValueError:
pass
if not language:
language = "C"
return language
in linux, language prints None, on osx it prints QPyNullVariant. it
will then evaluate False in "if not language" and then crash when it
arrives in __init__.py.
This used to work with qt 4.7 on osx. Just upgrading to 4.8 breaks everything.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rodolfo
