Python Programming Language :: wxpython demo error on debian etch


	wxpython demo error on debian etch If there is a wxPython on Debian user in the house? I am using the version of the demo that came with the apt-get download of wxPython. I thought I'd followed the instructions for installing and unpacking the wxPython demo program. It appears to run after a fashion, but I also get this at the commandline. Any help much appreciated. (python:5865): Gtk-CRITICAL *: gtk_window_realize_icon: assertion `info->icon_pixmap == NULL' failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/ _misc.py", line 1286, in Notify self.notify() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/ _core.py", line 13637, in Notify self.result = self.callable(self.args, self.kwargs) File "/home/rick/bin/wxPython/Main.py", line 1713, in ShowMain if self.fc.IsRunning(): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/ _core.py", line 13481, in __getattr__ raise PyDeadObjectError(self.attrStr % self._name) wx._core.PyDeadObjectError: The C++ part of the MySplashScreen object has been deleted, attribute access no longer allowed.

I'm guessing it's either a bug that's been fixed or something that's deprecated. The wxPython website details how to get the latest version of wxPython (2.8.4) here: http://wxpython.org/download.php I'm not an expert with the wxPython errors. I would recommend that you also ask at the wxPython user's group: http://wxpython.org/maillist.php Hope that helps a little!

I'll make do with this version of wxPython or go back to puzzling over Tkinter.

We run Debian at work and I've upgraded the Python to 2.4 and the wxPython to its newest version. This has not affected the server's stability in any way. This link explains the process the Debian team takes to implement new versions of packages (like wxPython): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian Basically, they test it for months before finally putting it in to the "stable" category. However, since they have to do this for lots of packages, one by one the packages get marked stable. So you could have something like wxPython marked stable in March and 6 months later, the rest of the packages are done so they're marked stable. And then after additional testing, they release the new version. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing.

Debian stable is way behind the times, so you may find something appropriate in testing. Alternatively, the instructions below should work. apt-get install alien apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev freeglut3-dev python2.3-dev wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-2.8.3.0-1.src... rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'pyver 2.3' wxPython2.8-2.8.3.0-1.src.rpm cd rpmdir alien packagenames.rpm dpkg -i whatever alien called them - Hide quoted text - > This link explains the process the Debian team takes to implement new > versions of packages (like wxPython):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian > Basically, they test it for months before finally putting it in to the > "stable" category.

If you run into any problems, it would be a good idea to post them to the wxPython user's group. They know a LOT more about that sort of stuff if things go wrong. Mike
