Comments? > First: the line "1" it's talking about is the first line of the config file, not of configobj.py. Second: as written, there's no GUI here, so we _expect_ it to briefly show a black window, then close - but when it's done, there should be a file called "Initial.sen" in the current directory, which will look like this (this is the output on my machine): """ mask_file_name = None gray_scale = True post_event_stack = False post_event_format = Tiff 2 show_real_time = False hourly_rate = 0 slowdown = 1 start_time = 00:00:00 stop_time = 00:00:00 """ (I've added the triple quotes for visual clarity - they don't appear in the actual file.) I suspect that what's happening is that you already have a file called Initial.sen, and its contents don't match the configspec. So the ParseError is an expected result - we either need to tweak the configspec to match your previous file, or add exception handling, or (simplest) if you don't have any real installed base, just start from scratch. Do me two favors: - send your existing Initial.sen so I can look at modifying the configspec or adding exception handling - delete or rename it, then try the program again. -- www.fsrtechnologies.com
