IndexError: list assignment index out of range

[Peter]

On ArchLinux, after launch:

 File "/usr/bin/openastro.py", line 6069, in <module>
    mainWindow()
  File "/usr/bin/openastro.py", line 2807, in __init__
    self.tempfilename = openAstro.makeSVG()
  File "/usr/bin/openastro.py", line 1305, in makeSVG
    module_data = ephemeris.ephData(self.year,self.month,self.day,self.hour,self.geolon,self.geolat,self.altitude,self.planets,self.zodiac,db.astrocfg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/openastromod/swiss.py", line 91, in __init__
    self.planets_sign[i]=x
IndexError: list assignment index out of range

What version of archlinux are you using?

Was there any error messages when installing the package?

Arch uses a "rolling release" system, with new packages provided daily. Its
package management permits users to keep systems up-to-date.

No, I do not see any errors during installation.

I am also Arch user and got the same bug. After some research in source code I have discovered that it is a problem with pySqlite: starting from version 2.4.1 it demands input in Unicode instead of Python bytestrings. I found a quick workaround:

sqlite3.dbapi2.register_adapter(str, lambda s:s.decode('utf-8'))

This should be invoked before opening the database, for example in openAstroSqlite.open() in openAstro.py.

On Ubuntu Karmic I get exactly the same symptoms. No error message at install time.

Hi,
I sorry, but I don't speak very well English.I get too the same problem :

File "/usr/bin/openastro.py", line 6070, in <module>
    mainWindow()
  File "/usr/bin/openastro.py", line 2807, in __init__
    self.tempfilename = openAstro.makeSVG()
  File "/usr/bin/openastro.py", line 1305, in makeSVG
    module_data = ephemeris.ephData(self.year,self.month,self.day,self.hour,self.geolon,self.geolat,self.altitude,self.planets,self.zodiac,db.astrocfg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/swiss.py", line 91, in __init__
    self.planets_sign[i]=x
IndexError: list assignment index out of range.

I don't make myself... HELP!
Thanks very much, Stéphane.

Same error in Lucid Lynx

Thank you to get off this bug.

I think it is a translation problem.

I did what Kanor told us to do here
http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=410923&p=2
and now Openastro can launch itself

-----------------------------------

You have to change some code in the file /usr/bin/openastro.py

Console :

sudo gedit /usr/bin/openastro.py

Look for these lines :

try:
  TRANSLATION["default"] = gettext.translation("openastro",TDomain)
except IOError:
  TRANSLATION["default"] = gettext.translation("openastro",TDomain,languages=['en'])
  print "OpenAstro.org has not yet been translated in your language!"

And change them for these lines :

#try:
# TRANSLATION["default"] = gettext.translation("openastro",TDomain)
#except IOError:
TRANSLATION["default"] = gettext.translation("openastro",TDomain,languages=['en'])
# print "OpenAstro.org has not yet been translated in your language!"

It is a encoding problem

next time you lauch OpenAstro, do it this way in console:

openastro.py --dbcheck

Cheers for the tip. I did everything described, and now I get yet another different bug:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/openastro.py", line 6068, in <module>
    db = openAstroSqlite()
  File "/usr/local/bin/openastro.py", line 678, in __init__
    self.cursor.execute(sql,values)
sqlite3.ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.

... ;P

Same...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 and openastro.org 1.1.23. I followed the instruction that Hieronymus wrote on 2010-08-14. Now it works for me, even from the start menu.
 Thanks.

[doom3d (doom3d)]

 I cannot save entries to database where the name or location contains non-english characters like "éáűőúöüó".
It works propely with Paks city, and doesn't work with Szekszárd city, Mr. Kovács, or Hajdú-Bihar county etc.
 I don't know if it is related to the original bug, or to the bugfix described above, or independent.

[emygdio (rodrigo-emygdio)]

Hi,

   I had the same problem, and I made the changes in source code, and error is the same.

Thanks

[Pelle van der Scheer (pellesimon)]

Can anyone still reproduce this?

[Pelle van der Scheer (pellesimon)]

I'm marking this as resolved. If anyone still has this problem, please comment.
