-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 <snip> I now have something like twenty hours invested in this process without even having made it through the opening tutorial. In fact my last several hours of effort have actually moved me backwards because I used to be able to at least run one of the template projects with my files-not-bundle install of Boa Constructor. Now the bundle won't run a project, and the previous Boa install won't run.
I apologize for grousing, but surely everyone doesn't go through this much difficulty? I like the idea of Python and wxWidgets, but with the progress I'm making I'm tempted to move on. I know I'm setting myself up for smart retorts, but I'm being honest -- so far the install experience has been a disaster. If Python (and specifically wxPython) are to grow, people have to be able to at least get through the install relatively un-bloodied. </snip> Geoff, I sympathize with your frustration. After spending a little more time troubleshooting this, I've discovered some things: 1. The crashes appear to be limited to my app bundle. Not sure why. I ran Boa from the command line and ran a test application fine from within Boa. 2. The workaround, if you're using my app bundle, is to create the code in Boa, then test it from the Terminal. "pythonw2.4 /path/to/fooapp.py" is the correct command, because that will run the app from Python 2.4.1. 3. If you would prefer to run the app from inside Boa, then launch Boa from the command line. The correct way to do this is "pythonw2.4 /path/to/boa.py." I successfully ran the sample app inside Boa this way. 4. I'm not sure what's wrong with your previous Boa install. Try using the "pythonw2.4 /path/to/boa.py" approach. I guess it boils down to whether you want to double-click the shiny icon to launch Boa and then test the apps from the command-line (my preference) or run Boa from the command-line and test/debug from within Boa. This is actually a less serious bug than some of the other bugs with my Python packages, which tend to crash randomly, especially when saving files. Please test these workarounds. If you get good results, I'll post documentation to my website about it. I'm copying this to the Boa Constructor list. Riaan, any idea what might cause Boa to crash when running code when it's wrapped up in an app bundle (similar to py2exe) and not crash when it's run from the command-line? - -- Cheers, Kevin Walzer, PhD WordTech Software--Open Source Applications and Packages for OS X http://www.wordtech-software.com http://www.kevin-walzer.com http://www.smallbizmac.com. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCuXU6JmdQs+6YVcoRAmYdAJ91s9ju68zle2ne1XLaFlgcjb3KLACfSwb3 ydSyHXlgBKh4n7zW+13b9do= =PUBN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
