Acire 0.4 Won't start (Key error)

[Ewan Davies]

I run Lucid, and have Acire 0.4 installed (I've also tried revision 50 from bzr) and when I run Acire it won't start. Running from a terminal gives the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/acire", line 535, in <module>
    window = NewAcireWindow()
  File "/usr/bin/acire", line 519, in NewAcireWindow
    window.finish_initializing(builder)
  File "/usr/bin/acire", line 172, in finish_initializing
    self.update_categories_combo()
  File "/usr/bin/acire", line 180, in update_categories_combo
    splitlist = self.snippetsdata[snippet]["cats"].split(',')
KeyError: 'cats'

My version of python is 2.6.5.

Strange. Do you have a recent copy of of python-snippets installed?

Could you follow the instructions at http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/03/22/quick-acire-and-python-snippets-guide/ and tell me if you still have the same problem?

I have a copy of python-snippets checked out from bzr in ~/Documents/python-snippets. The /usr/share/python-snippets folder was a link to the one in ~/Documents. This arrangement worked with the previous version of acire, but now yields this bug.

Having removed the link and installed the python-snippets package, there is no longer a problem. My guess is that one of the non-snippet files in the bzr checkout was causing a problem when it was 'parsed'. Thanks for the help :)

Thanks, Ewan!
