Hi,

I've tried to run the latest experimental versions but I get a huge amount of GTK-Critical errors.
Finally I decided to try to run the stable version 5.8.11 and I'm having the following errors:

[me@linuxbox bittorrent-CVS-shadowsclient]# ./btdownloadgui.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./btdownloadgui.py", line 1989, in ?
run(argv[1:])
File "./btdownloadgui.py", line 1950, in run
app = btWxApp(0, params)
File "./btdownloadgui.py", line 1929, in __init__
self.configfile = configReader()
File "./BitTorrent/ConfigReader.py", line 51, in __init__
self.configFileDefaults['gui_checkingcolor'] = self.ColorToHex(wx.wxSystemSettings_GetColour(wxSYS_COLOUR_3DSHADOW))
NameError: global name 'wx' is not defined

This is part of my configuration:
Fedora Core 1 - kernel 2.4.22-1.2115
GTK+-2.4.0 -> compiled, installed and tested
python-2.2.3-7 -> from rpm
pygtk2-libglade-2.0.0-1 -> from rpm
wxPythonGTK-py2.2-2.5.1.5-1 -> from rpm

I'd really like to run the client on my Linux box instead of my Windows machine.

Thanks in advance

That is quite odd. "wx" comes with "wxPython" and is imported when the code does:

on line 4 of "ConfigReader.py"

What happens if you open a shell and type:


then when it shows ">>>" type:


Does it show any errors?

Hi,

thnx for the prompt reply.

No it does not show any errors, so I guess the wxPython libraries are ok.
I also looked at the code, though I'm a c/c++ programmer not python, and I think the problem lies elsewhere.

I copied the source of a small app I found in the screenshots section of the wxPython website and it ran perfectly, so I don't think the problem is wxPython.

The only thing I think might be giving problems in my setup is that I didn't remove the original GTK+ rpm that came with Fedora before I compiled/install GTK+-2.4.0

This is all the relevant GTK/Python stuff I have from the stock Fedora:
[root@fwl root]# rpm -qa |grep -i gtk
pygtk2-2.0.0-1
mtr-gtk-0.52-3
gtk2-2.2.4-5.1
gtk+-1.2.10-28.1
gtk-engines-0.12-1
pygtk2-libglade-2.0.0-1
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-2
gtk2-engines-2.2.0-3

[root@fwl root]# rpm -qa |grep -i py
python-optik-1.4.1-1
pygtk2-2.0.0-1
python-devel-2.2.3-7
gnome-python2-2.0.0-2
python-2.2.3-7
pygtk2-libglade-2.0.0-1
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-2

This is what I added:
wxPythonGTK-py2.2-2.5.1.5-1
GTK+-2.4.0

This is due to a change in the wxPython layout, and has been fixed in the latest release. If you wish to fix it yourself, delete the "wx." in the affected lines.

Great, that fixed it.

Now I'm having the same GTK-Critical errors that I get on the experimental.

Oh well, I'll keep using the bittorrent curses client till I can figure this out (or somebody else does).

thnx

Just so you don't think you are the only one, I get the exact same error spit too. Also like you, I immediately jumped on the curses version which seems to work. If you learn anything, please post. I will too, if I get a chance.

Running box-stock redhat 9, wxPython 2.5.1.

Well, it's finally working (kinda)

My HD crashed completely, I knew it was coming since it's an old 20GB disk and this morning I bought a new one. I reinstalled Fedora Core 1 making sure all the Glib/GTK/Python stuff was installed. Installed wxPython and dl Experimental 0.1.4 and it worked.

Weird thing is I still get all the errors but it still works!

Last week I dl kernel 2.6 and wanted to use the GTK tool to configure the kerne,l and for that I installed the latest GTK/Glib etc. and I think that was the problem (a mess with the GTK/Glib versions installed).

Now that I have a fresh GTK/Glib installation it works. I haven't even done and update to the system with the RHN so I don't know if after that it will still work.

Hope this helps those with the same problem.
