Spell error on Mac OS X

[EF Fay]

Hello,

I am running 0.43 on Mac OS 10.6.2 with Macports.
I'm at Python 2.6 for all Macport packages

I have GTKSpell installed and am using the en_US dictionary. When I got to use spell checking with zim -D workbook, I get the following output:

fordfay:zim-data fay$ DEBUG: Action: toggle_spellcheck
DEBUG: Action: toggle_spellcheck
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/zim/plugins/spell.py", line 90, in do_toggle_spellcheck
    self.spell = gtkspell.Spell(textview, lang)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Spell'

Am I doing something dumb?

Thanks,

Ford

Looks like you don't have the python-gtkspell bindings. A quick check of the macports website doesn't give me a result for something like "pygtkspell", so not sure if it exists. If you find out please let me know so I can add it to the installation docs.

You can test if gtkspell python bindings are installed correctly with the command:

  $ python -c 'import gtkspell; print "OK"'

Will close this bug since it is not an real error in zim. There is a related item that zim should deal better with warning users of dependencies not being met - see bug #505743.

I've gotten this to work with macports, but not homebrew---not sure what the package should be there.
