Package: python-brlapi Version: 3.10~r3724-1 Severity: important Scenario:
>>> import brlapi >>> b=brlapi.Connection() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/oaubert/<ipython console> in <module>() /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/brlapi.so in brlapi.Connection.__init__() TypeError: raise: exception class must be a subclass of BaseException Explanation: When initializing brlapi with no brltty demon started, the API should raise an Exception. But from python2.5 onwards, each exception class must be a subclass of BaseException (cf http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0352/ ) Correction: The error lies in the Bindings/Python/brlapi.pyx file, where the exception ConnectionError inherits from OperationError, which itself should inherit from BaseException. The following patch should fix this. --- brlapi.pyx.old 2008-06-24 14:17:02.000000000 +0200 +++ brlapi.pyx 2008-05-22 12:31:00.000000000 +0200 @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ cimport c_brlapi include "constants.auto.pyx" -cdef class OperationError(BaseException): +cdef class OperationError: """Error while performing some operation""" cdef c_brlapi.brlapi_error_t error -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python-brlapi depends on: ii libbrlapi0.5 3.10~r3724-1 braille display access via BRLTTY ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii python 2.5.2-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.8.1 automated rebuilding support for P python-brlapi recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
