Many thanks and is there any chance that you would be able to offer
something a little less cryptic? Perhaps you'd explain how you arrived at
the conclusion you did and how I might go about fixing it?
This group is where you have directed me to more than once when I have
posted on the wxforum, saying that if I *"... want quality help the best
place to ask is in the place where the thousands of users and the sw devs
hang out, which is in the google group for this particular piece of
software." *So, here I am.
The error output that I posted above appears to the untrained eye to have
lots of errors, but you have only highlighted the last one, so I wonder why
this is and what those other messages mean*.* I have navigated to
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/configobj and executed: sudo nano -l
__init.py and I find this at line 350:
# Back in interpolate(), all we have to do is kick off the
recursive
It appears to exist only once.
So, as it turns out, not really that obvious at all, unless you know
markedly more than I do, which it appears that you do, and which makes me
wonder why you'd not be a little more forthcoming with some assistance.
Not trying to be obtuse here, just a genuine question and i apologise if
what appear to be basic questions irritate you.
Thanks,
Nick.
