Can't run on MacOS X

[Camille Roux]

Hi,

I'd like to run the new version of DUO and the program doesn't run. I'm on mac OS 10.5.

Here the script:

camille:duo-0.9 camille$ ./duo.py
'module' object has no attribute 'UserInterface'

camille:duo-0.9 camille$ python -V
Python 2.5.1
camille:duo-0.9 camille$ uname -a
Darwin camille.local 9.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.7.0: Tue Mar 31 22:52:17 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.12.14~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

I can't reproduce this and from what I've understood by chat you did download a copy from the wrong place. Can you please get the trunk from launchpad and update this report ?

Hello,

I'm having the same problem trying to run Duo 0.10 under Debian Squeeze and python 2.5.5.

More, if I run it with '-u' or '-ui' I get different results:

quique@DarkAngel:/usr/local/games/duo$ ./duo.py -u dreadful
__init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

quique@DarkAngel:/usr/local/games/duo$ ./duo.py -ui dreadful
Duo version 0.10

Thanks for any help

Forgot to add, in the log file I get this:

2010-11-25 11:23:57,698 duo : 98 WARNING No translation file found for en_US

I have copied the en_GB as en_US but still the same error in the log file (I've deleted the log file and reapears with the same warning)

Thanks for your report, Enrique.

First please note that correct program options are '-u' and '--ui' (with two dashes), which explains some of your results. Secondly, the gnomish and dreadful interfaces were only written as proof of concept a long time ago and are no more in sync with the core code (see for example #296939 about the gnomish interface).

That being said, I get the following results with the current trunk version:

~/src/duo/trunk> ./duo.py --ui gnomish
import of duo.ui.gnomish failed (cannot import name protocols)

~/src/duo/trunk> ./duo.py --ui dreadful
__init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Considering what I wrote above, this is normal for now. However, if you observe something different on your machine with the code from trunk, I'd be happy to know it.

As for the en_US problem, I have not looked at it until now, but you should open a distinct ticket.

[Enrique Mecklenburg (enrique-mecklenburg)]

Hi David,

sorry for the delay. Yes, I'm using the correct options here. This is what I get running 0.10 for the examples you gave:
/duo-0.10$ ./duo.py --ui gnomish
'module' object has no attribute 'UserInterface'

/duo-0.10$ ./duo.py --ui dreadful
__init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

So it is different for gnomish. Also, using no arguments I get the same as with gnomish option:

duo-0.10$ ./duo.py
'module' object has no attribute 'UserInterface'

Is the trunk version you use available for anyone? I see 0.11 is not yet downloadable.

Regards,
Enrique

Ok, just got the trunk version, and it is working fine under Debian Squeeze. Going to play now!

Thanks,
Enrique

Well, I still cannot reproduce the bug as is. But I can simulate it by replacing "tk" by any non existent module name (eg. "tki") in duo.py:134 (v0.10). So the problem comes from ui.create_ui, and ultimately tools.import_recursively which seems to fail to load tk.ui. I guess there is a problem with the Python PATH, but I'm clueless.

If someone gets this problem, I suggest writing here at least the Python version, the Duo version, the platform name, the $PYTHONPATH value.
