Where are the previous PyCon videos? I tried to
find the link from PyCon site, but didn't find yet.
What is the status on report designer? I tried
to run ide/ReportDesigner.py after installing
PIL and ReportLab, and got some errors:
C:\Program Files\Dabo Runtime\ide>python
ReportDesigner.py sampleReport.rfxml
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ReportDesigner.py", line 7, in ?
import DesignerPropSheet
File "C:\Program Files\Dabo
Runtime\ide\DesignerPropSheet.py", line 5, in ?
from DesignerComponents import LayoutPanel
File "C:\Program Files\Dabo
Runtime\ide\DesignerComponents.py", line 6, in ?
from dabo.lib.dUtils import padl
ImportError: No module named dUtils
Maybe I installed something wrong, or used wrong
command line syntax. I'm running Python 2.4 at
C:\Python24 and dabo 0.4.1.
