Hi,
I have Mark Summerfield's book on Rapid gui development with Python and Qt
and followed the link in Appendix A and found "dip".
I have Python 2.6.2. The web-site states it works with 2.6, 2.7 and 3.x, I
realise it is 0.1 and is bound to have problems, but...
First problem after installation was that the "shebang" doesn't work with
cygwin bash and Windows XP i.e. when you just run dip-builder it returns a
complaint of "no such file" for /c/Python26/Scripts/dip-builder - Python
doesn't understand bash paths.
Next problem (after explicitly running dip-builder in the Scripts directory)
was the final line:
wres12386#1(/c/Python26/Scripts)$ python dip-builder
File "dip-builder", line 93
sys.exit(app.exec())
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[exited with 1]
A quick look at the Qt documentation for QApplication shows it should be
app.exec_()
So that script can't work with ANY version of Python :-)
Fixed that, then it complained with:
wres12386#1(/c/Python26/Scripts)$ python dip-builder
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dip-builder", line 28, in <module>
from dip.plugins import PluginManager
File "c:\Python26\lib\site-packages\dip\plugins\__init__.py", line 21, in
<module>
from .i_extension_point import IExtensionPoint
File "c:\Python26\lib\site-packages\dip\plugins\i_extension_point.py",
line 16, in <module>
from dip.model import Interface, List, Str
File "c:\Python26\lib\site-packages\dip\model\__init__.py", line 45, in
<module>
from .adapt import adapt
File "c:\Python26\lib\site-packages\dip\model\adapt.py", line 21
def adapt(*adapted, to):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[exited with 1]
Not sure what this error is - haven't investigated it, thought it might be
advisable to re-check the versions of Python it is supposed to work with. I
realise I don't have the latest 2.6.x, but I thought before I go to a lot of
trouble downloading other versions of Python (I do not want to go to 3.x - I
need to stay with 2.x), I thought I would ask the question:
Exactly what version of Python has anybody ACTUALLY got the dip distribution
working with? :-)
In the meantime, I think I'll just go back to reading the book...
Thanks
Peter
