I'm fairly new to Python and just dabbling in Dabo. Trying to use the AppWiz and am having a similar problem as Joshua Levy detailed recently.
Using Win XP, Python 2.4. I create the webtest app in the AppWizard. I then navigate to the folder, double click on "webtest.py". A form briefly opens, then disappears without a trace. Same problem if I load and run it in the latest Dabo Runtime.exe. If I run it from Stani's Python Editor, the form also flashes open and closed but leaves a whole series of error messages in the traceback. First message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\CodeDabo\webtest\webtest.py", line 56, in ? frm(app.MainForm).show() ... ... ... Last message: File "C:\Python24\lib\gettext.py", line 217, in ugettext return unicode(message) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x83 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) Script terminated. To further test the AppWizard I created an app using a local database "menagerie" from the MySQL tutorial. The AppWiz connects to the menagerie database, I then select the only table in the db: pet. Then app is then created. Double clicking on menagerie.py I get the same problem of the app flashing open, then closing without a trace. When run in Stani's, I get again many error messages also, probably too tedious to go into in detail. I am wondering if I have path problems or maybe it is Windows specific but this is way too complicated for me to debug. Out of curiosity, have you run these apps on XP without problems? Would love to get this Dabo thing working like it does on the screencasts. It really looks impressive. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
