Hi!
I am using enlightenment on a current debian laptop where I already have thrown
out all the gnome-3 stuff. Yesterday I had to prepare for using the broadband
connector, so I was wondering how to configure it.
Now the thing is: econnman just does not work. I just updated from efl
1.15.2/elementary 1.19.2 to efl 1.16.0/elementary 1.19.3, but it stays broken.
The first error message I got:
$ econnman-bin
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/econnman-bin", line 45, in <module>
import elementary as elm
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/elementary/__init__.py", line
2, in <module>
from efl.elementary.actionslider import *
File "efl/elementary/actionslider.pyx", line 219, in init
efl.elementary.actionslider (efl/elementary/actionslider.c:4000)
File "efl.eo.pyx", line 102, in efl.eo._object_mapping_register
(efl/eo/efl.eo.c:1445)
ValueError: Object type name 'Elm_Actionslider' already registered.
... was a trap, since there were some old python packages in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages that never got removed when the
structure changed some time ago.
After some probing around, I found that the imports for efl.* in econnman-bin
are closed in a try block, with the catchall-except block starting with an
"import elementary" statement, which by chance still existed and imported old
crap.
So I just changed the 'except:' to 'except ImportError:' to see what type of
exception really happens:
$ econnman-bin
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/econnman-bin", line 25, in <module>

File "efl/elementary/window.pyx", line 1, in init efl.elementary.window

efl.ecore.__init__._event_mapping_register (efl/ecore/__init__.c:13128)
ValueError: event type '55' already registered.
I have cleaned up the python dist-packages directory, reconfigured and
recompiled efl, elementary and then removed the build dir from python-efl
sources, rebuild and reinstalled that, but still the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/econnman-bin", line 25, in <module>
from efl.elementary.window import Window, ELM_WIN_BASIC, \
File "efl/elementary/window.pyx", line 1, in init efl.elementary.window

File "efl.ecore_events.pxi", line 23, in efl.ecore._event_mapping_register
(efl/ecore/efl.ecore.c:13214)
ValueError: event type '55' already registered.
After quite some searching I found the file in
python-efl-1.15.0/efl/ecore/efl.ecore_events.pxi but the real problem seems to
be in the (generated?) file efl/elementary/window.c, which has a timestamp from
may 4th 2015 and comes with the tar archive (checked with a fresh copy).
Sooooo.... Shouldn't there be an update of python-efl for efl 1.16.0? Anybody
working on that and/or econnman?
Also, python developers, please narrow down except statements like this one in
econnman-bin.in to ONLY catch those exceptions the except block is planned for,
they can be quite the waste of time when looking what is going wrong.
My workaround for now will be manual configuration of the network setup like in
the olden days ;-)
