Hi,Everyone,
I am using ubuntu 10.10 and the python installed by "command:sudo apt-get install python" is python2.6.6
And I am intended to run a software compile by python2.6.6 from 2 egg files.

what is the matter when occurring this type of error ?
Thanks.

well it looks like exactly what the error says, you can't get the length of a boolean value. How long is "True" ??? it makes no sense. presumably the code is supposed to read "if len(map_files) > 0:"
