Hi, I am one of the two developers working on the xml-to-javascript converter (qxtransformer) John has mentioned and we are thrilled that our project has found a use in the PythonCard community.
However, we have a problem getting PythonCard to work on our Macs (Mac OS 10.5 Leopard). We should probably be asking this on the PythonCard help list, but since the list seems to be somewhat deserted (very few posts) and John is active here and people seem to be using PythonCard, maybe someone has an idea. It might be very simple and stupid - I have never worked with python before. I am using - PythonCard 0.8.2 release on Leopard, which is copied by setup.py to / Library/Python/2.5/site-packages - John's layoutEditor package, (http://qxtransformer.googlegroups.com/ web/layoutEditor.zip) PythonCard email list says that Leopard and PythonCard 0.8.2 seem to like each other generally: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=EE5213D5-A005-4ED0-9512-111B6D4F06A7%40bu.edu&forum_name=pythoncard-users and I can get the examples working. However, when I start John's modified layoutEditor.py, I get an empty window and the following error is thrown: no resource file for /Users/bibliograph/Programme/PythonCard/tools/ layoutEditor/multipropertyEditor Traceback (most recent call last): File "/BinaryCache/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-11~57/Root/System/Library/ Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/wx-2.8-mac- unicode/wx/_core.py", line 14095, in <lambda> File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PythonCard/tools/ layoutEditor/layoutEditor.py", line 153, in on_initialize self.propertyEditorWindow = model.childWindow(self, PropertyEditor) File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PythonCard/model.py", line 213, in childWindow rsrc = resource.ResourceFile(filename).getResource() File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PythonCard/resource.py", line 45, in __init__ self.dictionary = util.readAndEvalFile(rsrcFileName) File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PythonCard/util.py", line 39, in readAndEvalFile f = open(filename) TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found there is a file PythonCard/tools/layoutEditor/modules/ multipropertyEditor.rsrc.py When I resize the window, I get the following errors Tue Apr 29 10:48:08 noname Python[40440] <Error>: CGContextConcatCTM: invalid context Tue Apr 29 10:48:08 noname Python[40440] <Error>: CGContextSaveGState: invalid context Tue Apr 29 10:48:08 noname Python[40440] <Error>: doClip: invalid context Tue Apr 29 10:48:08 noname Python[40440] <Error>: CGContextSaveGState: invalid context Tue Apr 29 10:48:08 noname Python[40440] <Error>: CGContextSetBlendMode: invalid context Tue Apr 29 10:48:08 noname Python[40440] <Error>: CGContextSetShouldAntialias: invalid context Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PythonCard/model.py", line 884, in _dispatch handler(background, aWxEvent) File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PythonCard/tools/ layoutEditor/layoutEditor.py", line 560, in on_size self.createDC() File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PythonCard/tools/ layoutEditor/layoutEditor.py", line 556, in createDC dc.SetLogicalFunction(wx.INVERT) File "/BinaryCache/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-11~57/Root/System/Library/ Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/wx-2.8-mac- unicode/wx/_gdi.py", line 4079, in SetLogicalFunction wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "status == noErr" failed at ../src/mac/carbon/graphics.cpp(1324) in EnsureIsValid(): Cannot nest wxDCs on the same window Thanks for any pointers, Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
