I have run into a problem running a Python script that is part of the
TerraGear suite for building scenery for FlightGear. I am using Mac
OS X 10.4, running Python (version 3.0.1) in a Unix terminal.
The purpose of the script is to walk a directory tree, unzipping
files, and passing the contents to an executable C programme. The
problem occurs here:
gzin = GzipFile(fname, 'rb')
data = gzin.readline()
min_x,min_y = map(atoi,data.split()[:2])
The input file, when uncompressed, is an ASCII file with a line with
two numbers, then a line of four numbers, then many long lines of
numbers. I can see what the last is trying to do: split the string
into two words, convert them to integers, and assign them to min_x
and min_y.
At the third line, I get the message "expected an object with the
buffer interface". Which object is it referring to? Have some
functions been changed to pass buffer objects instead of strings? How
can I fix the source code to make it run?
Any help appreciated
