OpenAstro won't start up

[Michael Brown]

Starting 1.1.57 on command line, I get quite a few deprecation warnings and then an error:

 File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/openastromod/swiss.py", line 89, in __init__
    if ret_flag[0] >= deg_low:
TypeError: '>=' not supported between instances of 'tuple' and 'float'

Was working OK, but that was a number of installation updates ago.

I'm pasting whole console output from failed start (same problem as above). I'm using Artix runit, but it also affects Parabola OS and Arch. Openastro installed from AUR. Console output:

Hi..... Same problem here . Manjaro.

[Michael Brown (mikegb92121)]

Disclaimer: I am a far cry from a Python programmer or knowledgable about OpenAstro software.

I was able to at least open the application by adding the var xx to line 85 in swiss.py

ret_flag, xx = swe.calc_ut(self.jul_day_UT,i,iflag)

Perhaps one of these has changed? The signature of calc_ut return from swisseph or the behavior of >= when given a tuple and float.

Not sure if that is in any way the correct fix, see disclaimer above.

P.S. I am also on Manjaro, since I didn't put in original bug report.

Hi again ... after the latest update all works fine again !
