This appears to be a bug with py2exe and/or the subprocess module. Do you have administrative access to install python 2.5 and pygtk on Windows by chance? Running from source like this could help us determine if the issue is py2exe related or not. Thanks!

Chris

Yes i have admin rights. I will install them and inform u of the result.

I installed python 2.5, pygtk 2.16 and latest gtk+ runtime, but keryx still fails to start.

I installed python 2.6 too as pygtk said it requires python 2.6. Still no success.

Hmmm...Did it give you any different errors? I am surprised of this. Run it from terminal and see if the output there is any different and post the traceback for us to take a look at. Hopefully we can get this figured out for you.

Dear Chris

This is what I get when launching keryx:

Thanks for the output. I would try deleting the logs folder and running Keryx again. Hopefully that will help as there is something wrong with the formatting of the file according to that error it seems.

Need to see if the error is fixed after deleting the logs folder.

I cleared the logs folder and tried running keryx again. This is what I got:

Sorry for the duplicate messages

By the way I don't know if this has anything to do with the error but I am behind an ISA server firewall.

What is your default language on that computer? It appears that it's a problem with using a string to open the filename since it is in a different locale.

English. I'm not sure what you mean by "string to open the filename"?

Alright hmm...Which version of python do you have installed?

And just to double check you are now running it from Keryx.py correct?

No I executed keryx.exe from the win32 folder. How can I run it from Keryx.py?

Ah okay. That is probably why you aren't getting different outputs. Since you have Python and GTK installed, now you can open up the linux directory and double click on Keryx.py and run that instead. This will run it straight from the source code instead.

We have a little write up here about it: http://keryxproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Running_Keryx_from_source

Hopefully that helps and will give you different output.

OK. Keryx is on my office PC (where I have broadband). On Saturday
I'll test this and report the output.

OK here's the output:
F:\keryx\keryx\linux>F:\Python25\python.exe keryx
  File "keryx", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc0' in file keryx on line 2, but
 declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Actually try it against keryx.py in the source directory and see what happens then. The keryx file in the linux directory is actually an executable and wouldn't work being run with the python interpreter.

Sorry for all the trouble. Hopefully we can get this figured out for you soon!

No problem. I'd be glad if I could help you make the app better.

Here's the output of running keryx.py from source directory:

F:\keryx\keryx\source>"f:\Python25\python.exe" keryx.py

If you can, install the package python-wxversion on there and run keryx.py again. It's an important package for Keryx so you'll need that to run it. Forgot to mention it. Hopefully that will work for you.

Where can I get it for Windows?

OK I installed wxpython and this is the output:

OK, could you run keryx.py in the 'source' directory?

A temporary fix should be either deleting line 46 of source/lib/log.py or commenting out the line. It may or may not work because I'm unsure what Keryx will do with this weird character. You can try that and let us know if solves the problem or not and we can go from there.

I will be gone for a week so hopefully mac9416 can help you while I'm gone.

Yes it worked! Thank you!

Yes it worked! Thank you!

Awesome! Good to hear!

But I'm now affected by this bug:

Doh. What is your output of running Python (by itself) and doing the following commands:

import platform
platform.dist()

You should get something like this:

chris@apoch:~$ python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.dist()
('Ubuntu', '10.04', 'lucid')

Also, which version of Ubuntu are you trying to create the project on?

I'm on Windows XP now. My target system is 10.04 (lucid)

Oops! I didn't know this: "you’ll have to create your project on the Debian machine. "

Ah yep common problem. i haven't had time to make a pre-made Lucid project that you could download but should have it done shortly after I get back next week. Hope everything works for you from here on out!

Thank you.
