pin, pout, per? Pysol error won't launch

~zoey~ · 05-04-2009, 11:53 PM

I am running ubunutu jaunty.

I installed Pysol from source and I can't launch it except via the command line. This is what I get with python /home/margo/Documents/Computer/Downloads/pysol/pysol.py-- it launches and runs, but I get this in the command line;

Downloads/pysol/pysol.py
/home/margo/Documents/Computer/Downloads/pysol/pysollib/init.py:156: DeprecationWarning: os.popen3 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
pin, pout, perr = os.popen3(settings.FCS_COMMAND+' --help')

I googled and found the suggestion that I add pysol='python /home/margo/Documents/Computer/Downloads/pysol/pysol.py' to ~ .bashrc and I did that, but it didn't help.

I am in over my head again and would appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks, zoey

Why not just do ........

sudo apt-get install pysol

This 'pysol' will work perfect.

Generally : Use from the 26,000 ubuntu packages as first choice.
'apt-cache search <name>' to find package names, and installable
packages.

Well, I just may have to do that. I like the other version better because it allows the saving of favorite games and the removal of the splash screen. I like trying to solve linux problems, but I may not get this one solved.

If it is just a matter of a launcher, it's no problem.

Some ( all ? ) python.py scripts can be started, when
made executable : 'chmod +x', and be called by a
launcher.

But the safe way, I prefer, is to place an executable
script in /usr/local/bin/ , e.g. pysol.sh :

Code:

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/...<path-to-pysol-script.py>

python pysol.py

And then start 'pysol.sh' with a launcher.
