Hi Nils. I think I fixed the issue causing the traceback with r6563. Can you please update and try again with text.usetex enabled?
My guess is that you don't have dvipng installed, which was causing the detection check to throw a traceback rather than return a value signifying undetected. So, enabling usetex should again trigger the check, but hopefully this time it will fail gracefully rather than crashing. -Andrew Nils Wagner wrote: > On Thu, 11 Dec 2008 09:13:02 +0100 > "Nils Wagner" <nwag...@iam.uni-stuttgart.de> wrote: >> On Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:11:12 -0600 >> "John Hunter" <jdh2...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 4:26 PM, John Hunter >>> <jdh2...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>>> Is it planned to adapt the example wrt xlwt ? >>>>> >>>>> http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt >>>>> >>>> >>>> True it is no longer maintained, but it does work.
