Hi, I'm unable to reproduce this bug. BKChem is running fine here and, to be sure, I've asked some friends to install it too. Are you using the latest version of python-oasa (0.13.1-1)? Some other guys have told me that after an update they're having troubles running some python applications (yumex is an example). Please, try to run yumex and see if you have an error. Hi, I am using python-oasa-0.13.1-1.fc10.noarch, yumex starts pretty well, rpm -Va does not show any errors. The system on my computer is quite fresh (I installed it just a week ago on a empty disk, and then installed all upgrades). Is it possible that this is a hardware problem, sometimes I have funny issues with my laptop (freezing etc)? LANG=pl.UTF-8 bkchem reproduces this issue on F-11/10.
Also LANG={fr_FR,de_DE}.UTF-8 reproduces this.
Once changing to python-pmw . (In reply to comment #0) > Bkchem starts without any problem if downloaded from the homepage and run from > the local folder. This is because perhaps bkchem downloaded from its project homepage uses its internal python-pmw but Fedora's bkchem uses system-wide python-pmw. Created attachment 343742 [details]
workaround for this issue
Hi, Tim:
The attached patch resolves this issue.
What I am wondering for now is that as I don't know
what type entrycget(item, textKey) (or so) in tkinter
(perhaps) are expected to return, so I am not sure
which component should be modified to resolve this issue,
python-pmw or bkchem.
This is really strange. I'll try one clean install of all the components to figure out if the problem is in python-pmw or in bkchem. I got the answer from Beda Kosata, the author of BKChem. I think this might clear something. #v+ The problem here is that Pmw is buggy (it does not handle unicode in menus properly). I distribute my own fixed version of Pmw with BKChem because the Pmw project was dead at the time I discovered it and noone seemed to be interested in my patch. (Now Pmw seems to be revived, but I am not sure if they are going to fix it either). #v- So it looks like Pmw problem.

So, I'll contact Beda and see if we can use his patch - at least - in Fedora's Pmw. It explains, also, why BKChem is working well in my machines: since we don't have an translated version to portuguese, we're using En-US. OK, I can apply Mamoru's patch for now. I took a quick look at bkchem and it seems it combines several pmw classes/files into one big Pmw.py file, so its a bit tricky for me to find/extract all the differences to the main Pmw package - perhaps Beda has patches to upstream, that would be ideal! python-pmw-1.3.2-6.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-pmw-1.3.2-6.fc10 python-pmw-1.3.2-8.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-pmw-1.3.2-8.fc11 Does this update in python-pmw fixed this bug? I have just checked, and bkchem starts normally, except that piddle modules can not be loaded. It prints the following information: could not load module pdf_piddle could not load module ps_piddle and then there is no piddle export. When you start bkchem downloaded from the program webpage the piddle export works fine. Except this bkchem starts normally. Piddle was excluded from our RPM because of some Legal issues. BKChem do not really need it and Beda told me that in the future Piddle will be excluded from the upstream version of BKChem too. So, if it's all working OK I'll close this bug. This bug is, now, closed and the issue was not caused by bkchem but by python-pmw. After an update in python-pmw this problem was solved. Please don't close this as "NOTABUG" as - this is really a bug - and the componet is already changed to python-pmw This bug should be closed when the fixed python-pmw is pushed to stable (currently it is in testing) (In reply to comment #16) > > This bug should be closed when the fixed python-pmw is pushed > to stable (currently it is in testing) Yeah, if you've tested it and it works OK, give it a karma point! :) (In reply to comment #17) > Yeah, if you've tested it and it works OK, give it a karma point! :) Already :) python-pmw-1.3.2-8.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. python-pmw-1.3.2-6.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. OK to close? Yes. ;) |
