Most likely you are doing nothing wrong. I'm truly sorry for your frustration! You have caught Dabo's team at a transition point. In the next few days the next release will be out. So you could just wait for the next release or get the latest version from www.dabodev.com using SVN. Most window users use TortoiseSVN to get the latest code. There is a link on Dabo http://dabodev.com/wiki/TortoiseSVN
Dabo requires python 2.4 but 2.5 would be better. wxPython 2.6 but 2.8 would be better- unicode. When you download wxPython make sure you are matching the version to what ever version of Python you are using. If you decide to download the latest using SVN please review the wiki for added help. But feel free to ask questions here. BTW welcome to Dabo. Anybody, willing to work until 2AM I know will be an asset to Dabo. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
