Well, in that case the SPE package that's contained in the Universe respository is broken. Besides, it was wxPython 2.5.3 that was insalled on my Breezy box, after I upgraded from Hoary, and not 2.6. > So you have only clearly shown that you didn't read the > instructions.

Then all people need is to add one line to their sources.list, and they can use apt-get. > - apt-get wxPython 2.6 (in case you don't have) That would be "apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6". wxpython2.6 is mentioned, but python-wxgtk2.6 is actually installable. At least, it would be if it didn't conflict with the version of wxPython I have currently installed. I had to uninstall 2.5.3 first, because a simple upgrade didn't work. > - get > http://download.berlios.de/python/SPE-0.8.1.d-wx2.6.1.0-no_setup.zip > and unpack it Finally, an URL. > Still not working? It runs now, but some things aren't working. When I open a file and click on the "browse" tab, I see the current directory. If I then double-click on a Python file, I'd expect SPE to open it, but nothing happens. Hmmm... and now SPE has crashed. No errors on the terminal, but the GUI simply doesn't repaint anymore. Sorry mate, it looks like a promising project, but it just doesn't do it for me. Way too much hassle for something that crashes on the first try. Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
