Pythoñol

Linforcer · 06-12-2005, 06:16 PM

First off I'd like to start out by safing that perhaps this question doesn't belong on "general" Linux boards.

My problem is related to a program called Pythoñol (I had a link... but well not 5 posts yot

)", a program of which the author has shown on the site not to want to give much, if any support, (which, is of course, her good right).

No reports from the mailing list I mailed to, their sourceforge forums deserted, and a personal e-mail was not replied to.

I include the two e-mails I sent them, which is a much faster way to describe my problem.

I run Ubuntu Linux 5.04
with kernel

I have installed packages

python2.4 (as well as python)
python2.4-Gtk2 (as well as python-gtk2)

I'm running Gnome so I'm sure I have gtk+ too, though I can find no packages in my package list actually called that.

INSTALL_ME and PyInstallshield both produce:

./PyInstallShield:214: DeprecationWarning: use gtk.UIManager
itemf=ItemFactory(MenuBar,"<main>",ag)
./PyInstallShield:249: Warning: unsupported arithmetic operation for flags type

After installing older versions of python and sqlite I managed to build the databases.

(Databases for Pythonol successfully built.)

It told me to run PyInstallShield or make install after that, which produced the same error as BUILD_ME and PyIstallShield did in the Install version.

I have now also tried converting the rpm to a deb and installing it. I afterwards had to run it as root to create database files.
After this I got

/usr/share/Pythonol/sqlite/__init__.py:1: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module _sqlite: This Python has API version 1012, module _sqlite has version 1011.

Sure hope someone can help.

I too had many many MANY headaches trying to get this to run. Seems to be a bit over-dependent and quite difficult to build. I gave up, and in months of searching I've found no help from anyone or even mentions of Pythoñol anywhere on the web. Last visit, though, they were moving the web site, so maybe there is some activity going on that no one knows about!?

What I would really like is a STABLE version that installs well across distros (the screen shots are from SuSE 9.1 but I couldn't get it to go with my 9.1) AND/OR a live cd that is in Spanish and has Pythoñol pre-configured to run. Talk about a good resource for students, as well as a way to introduce Linux to future generations!

Good luck.
