Hi Majestic,

the syntax errors that occured during building LottaNZB must be a result of the fact you're using Python 2.4. Our team uses Python 2.5 to develop the application and as I'm fairly new to Python programming I don't know exactly which language constructs were newly introduced in Python 2.5. [...] I just took a lock at the python documentation and as it seems, one-line conditional expressions [1] is a new feature in Python 2.5 Wasn't aware of that. Sorry. I guess LottaNZB should support Python 2.4, so I'll make these problematic statements Python 2.4-friendly tonight. You might consider installing Python 2.5 in the meantime and give it another try.

As for the launch failure: If you're a Ubuntu user, make sure the package python-elementtree is installed on your system (type "sudo apt-get install python-elementtree"). If you're a Gentoo user, aVirulence should be able to help you.

[1] http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/pep-308.html

According to [1] the elementtree bug seems to be a Python 2.4 related problem as well. The way we import this module in LottaNZB only applies to Python 2.5. I guess it won't be hard to make it work under Python 2.4 though.

My advise: Install Python 2.5 for the time being if you can't wait until we release a Python 2.4-friendly version of LottaNZB. If I'm not completely wrong it should even be possible to have multiple versions of Python on one machine at the same time.

[1] http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm#installation

Good news: Just added Python 2.4 compatibilty, nevertheless I recommend you to install Python 2.5.

Hi Severin,

I updated the Lotta distibution and compiled it. No error during this. But do get errors when I start to load lottanzb. Am getting the following.

raymond@Rifbox:~/lottanzb$ lottanzb
INFO Starting LottaNZB 0.2-pre using Python 2.4.4.
INFO The LottaNZB configuration could not be found. Starting configuration assistant.
INFO Created the LottaNZB directory /home/raymond/.lottanzb/.
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lottanzb-0.1-py2.4.egg/lottanzb/util.py:8: GtkWarning: gtk_radio_button_set_group: assertion `!g_slist_find (group, radio_button)' failed
  gtk.glade.XML.__init__(self, paths.dataDir("lottanzb.glade"), root)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Does this mean that python2.4 is not fully supported.

Regards,

Majestic

Hi Majestic,

first of all, we don't recommend to use the development version of LottaNZB as it still has some major bugs we need to fix before the next release. But if it's just for testing purposes like in your case, we're always glad to get feedback. ;-)

Launching LottaNZB with Python 2.4.5 works fine on my machine. The warning "GtkWarning: gtk_radio_button_set_group" doesn't affect the execution at all, it also appears with Python 2.5. It's not a Python related problem.

As for the segmentation fault: I keep randomly running into those and I haven't figured out yet why they appear. It must be a PyGTK related problem. Have you tried launching LottaNZB a second time? Maybe the segmentation fault disappears? :-/ You could also try running LottaNZB from the source directory (python lottanzb.py). I'm afraid I can't give you an "real" answer at this point.

I just fixed the radio button GtkWarning... But I guess this doesn't solve your problem. ;-)

Hi Severin,

Thank you for your quick replay. I am using python 2.4.4. The image I use is ubuntu 6.10 edgy.
The system reports that I have the latest version of python available for this image. Upgrading
to 7.04 doesn't work for me as that CPU I use isn’t supported.

For your info, the error shows when I start LottaNZB in terminal from the source dir. I tried restarting
LottaNZB but this will give the same error.

Thx,

Majestic

Hi Majestic,

thanks for the additional information. Segmentation faults aren't so easy to track down as no error information is displayed on the command line. I'm afraid I'm not experienced in things like that at all. One thing you could do is a backtrace, which might lead us to the source of the problem but I guess this doesn't solve the problem itself. aVirulence, who initially started the LottaNZB project, is Dutch and might be able to assist you better than I can. If you think this isn't worth the effort you could try other HellaNZB GUIs for the time being.

Hi Severin,aVirulence,

Thank you for your answer. I would like to help where I can. I am not a expert in this either.
I do have some additional info for you I not sure if this tells anything. I upgraded the system to
Xubuntu 7.04. This is using python 2.5. I installed lottanzb source 0.1 and I am getting the same
Error.

Does this tell you something.

Regards,

Majestic

Majestic: it seems to be a PyGTK problem. Downgrading from 2.12.1 to 2.12.0 resolves the "gtk.glade.XML.__init__(self, paths.dataDir("lottanzb.glade"), root)" error.
