Installing PyRoom on Arch

Fiona · 2008-11-01 15:37:35

I've been attempting to get PyRoom working all morning on Arch.

The problem involves it's use of pygtksourceview. The version available for Arch is 2. (In gnome-python-desktop). But PyRoom requires version 1. When running PyRoom I get

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/pyroom", line 38, in <module>
    sys.exit(PyRoom.cmdline.main())

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyRoom/cmdline.py", line 99, in main
    pyroom = BasicEdit(style=style, pyroom_config=pyroom_config)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyRoom/basic_edit.py", line 108, in __init__
    self.gui = GUI(style, pyroom_config, self)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyRoom/gui.py", line 104, in __init__
    self.textbox = gtksourceview.SourceView()

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SourceView'

So yeah, pygtksourceview 2 is definitely not backwards compatible. I've had no luck at all installing older versions.

Has anyone ever got Pyroom working on Arch...? Any ideas on where I go from here?

Thanks,
Fiona

Perhaps you could try textroom? It seems to be the same kind of thing.

Have you tried this?

Thank you, that does look similar, I'll give it a try.

I'd still like to get pyroom working though. (Stubborn.)

I have indeed, I get the same problem.

Looking through the comments on pyroom-bzr, it appears that gnome-python is required, but not listed in the dependencies. Do you have gnome-python installed on your system?

Yep.

As for textroom, I don't have the required qt libs to build it, and there doesn't appear to be an Arch package that contains "qmake-qt4" which appears required to compile the app.

If you are still trying to get Pyroom to work (I hope not), I would like to point out a Ruby alternative called rubyroom. The link is to the PKGBUILD for it which I have just uploaded to the AUR.

Yay, thanks for introducing me to such a nice concept.

If you install qt it has the required qmake executable. It is invoked by "qmake" not "qmake-qt4" despite what the readme says...
