scribes Warning: g_signal_newv: assertion 'is_valid_signal_name failed

Hello everybody,

scribes has stopped working

I tried downgrading to previous version I have - no effect

I tried re-installing via aur - no effect

In both cases I get the same output

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/__init__.py:115: Warning: g_signal_newv: assertion 'is_valid_signal_name (signal_name)' failed
  type_register(cls, namespace.get('__gtype_name__'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/scribes", line 11, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SCRIBES/Main.py", line 8, in main

    type_register(cls, namespace.get('__gtype_name__'))
RuntimeError: could not create signal for combobox-encoding-data?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thank you!

Well, the code seems to be very old (2011) and unmaintained. They use bazaar as version control system, which is also old and (pretty much) unmaintained.

I'd say try another editor. vi and emacs will most probably survive all of their "successors".
