Hi Ian
I have a yml file that contains a map as below :
    university:
      $io: input
      $type: selection
      $display: "What university do you attend?"
      "Peking University": 'Peking University'
      'Tsinghua University': 'Tsinghua University'

I read the map as an ordered dictionary and try to create a listbox that
contains the university selection choices as checkboxes to be displayed on
console.
My map is read at tmpMap for the code below :


                    listofKeysIntmpMap = tmpMap.keys()
                    idx = 1

                    font_buttons = []
                    radioGroup = []
                    for j in range(3,len(tmpMap)) :
                        userChoicesText =
urwid.Text(tmpMap.get(listofKeysIntmpMap[j])) #this text gets updated so
the forloop works

                        idx+=1
                        rb = urwid.AttrMap(urwid.RadioButton(radioGroup,
userChoicesText, state=False), 'Bg')
                        font_buttons.append( rb )


                    #create a pile of the checkboxes
                    pileOfSel = urwid.Pile([urwid.Text("Selections :")] +
font_buttons, focus_item=1)

                    box =
urwid.BoxAdapter(urwid.ListBox(urwid.SimpleListWalker(pileOfSel)),
height=idx)

However running above code gives a *urwid.util.TagMarkupException* error.
as below :
  File "./yamlUrwidUI.py", line 246, in createBlock
    rb = urwid.RadioButton(radioGroup, userChoicesText, state=False)
  File "/wimp.py", line 366, in __init__
    user_data)
  File "/wimp.py", line 153, in __init__
    self.set_label(label)
  File "/wimp.py", line 178, in set_label
    self._label.set_text(label)
  File "/widget.py", line 880, in set_text
    self._text, self._attrib = decompose_tagmarkup(markup)
  File "/util.py", line 371, in decompose_tagmarkup
    tl, al = _tagmarkup_recurse(tm, None)
  File "/util.py", line 412, in _tagmarkup_recurse
    raise TagMarkupException, "Invalid markup element: %r" % tm
urwid.util.TagMarkupException: Invalid markup element: <Text flow widget
b'Peking University'>

I am using the latest Urwid version (VERSION = (1, 1, 1)).
Could you tell what's going wrong here ? Is it something to do with the yml
file I am reading
or is it because of the way I am using the call to RadioButton widget ?
On a different note I will propose that you move the urwid mailing list
questions to stackoverflow.com as
that will help a lot of users.
