eqtexsvg.py line 72: c.tag should be converted to string first

[Patrick Wang]

Environment: RHEL 6, Inkscape is installed w/ Gentoo Prefix (also is python-2.7.5)

When using Extensions->Render->LaTeX Formular, I got

'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'rsplit'

at line 72 in eqtexsvg.py

A workaround is to make such a modification, from:

c_tag = c.tag.rsplit('}',1)[-1]

to:

c_tag = str(c.tag).rsplit('}',1)[-1]

which makes the extension work normally.

I guess it is, prospectively, safer not to convert c.tag into a string using str(), but to guarantee that itself is a string...

could you attach the svg file you were using when this happened?

@apenner

Like this.

Also, I guess, in line 139 we can have pstoedit to specify the output format itself, since some may use the pre-compiled SVG plugin for pstoedit--instead of GNU libplot--on some platforms under certain conditions...

What LaTeX formula caused this error?

[Jonathan Hofinger (jhofinger)]

Closing, rsplit doesn't occur in the Render LaTeX extension anymore.
