New version of genxword - a crossword generator

Hi all,

This new version brings a few cosmetic changes to the gui to make it a little more user-friendly. The crossword calculation and the command line version have not been changed at all. Anyway, here's a list of the changes:

1. When editing the word list, the word is now highlighted so that it is easy to see which part of each line is the word and which part is the clue. Also, the lines are numbered and there is now the option to undo / redo changes.

2. The checkboxes for deciding what format to save the crossword in are now on a bar at the bottom of the main interface.

3. The help page is opened in the web browser.

Here are the AUR pages for the Python2 genxword-git,
and Python3 versions genxword3-git

Let me know if there are any problems, and I hope you find it useful.

Installing genxword3-git:

==> Validating source files with md5sums...genxword3-0.5.0.tar.gz ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Thanks for letting me know. I just realized that I forgot to change the md5sums line in the PKGBUILD.
I've just uploaded new versions, which should be OK.

% genxword3-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/genxword3-gtk", line 4, in <module>
    from genxword3 import gui
ImportError: cannot import name gui

Looks like there's a dependency missing.

Hi Army,
Sorry about that. I'll try to find out what's causing that error, but I'm not on Arch at the moment, so it might take a couple of days.
Could you tell me if there's a file called gui.py in /usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/genxword3/?
Many thanks.

Re: New version of genxword - a crossword generator

Yes there is.

$ ls /usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/genxword3/
calculate.py  control.py  gui.py  __init__.py  __pycache__

Edit: per your email, installed gtksourceview3 and it works. Thanks!

Re: New version of genxword - a crossword generator

Hi all,
I've just updated the PKGBUILDs to include gtksourceview3 as a dependency. I've also made python-gobject a dependency rather than an optional dependency.
Hope it works now
