[SOLVED] Application requests wxPython-2.8: worth digg it further?

kozaki · 2014-01-12 23:28:08

I'm trying to test outwiker (an outliner and personal wiki, in AUR) which requires wPython-2.8 and won't start with version 3. I noticed the AUR's packager.

Quoting Outwiker website:
Installing from source requires « Python 2.7 and wxPython 2.8. »

$ outwiker
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "runoutwiker.py", line 11, in <module>
wxversion.select("2.8")
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxversion.py", line 152, in select
raise VersionError("Requested version of wxPython not found")
wxversion.VersionError: Requested version of wxPython not found

Unfortunately I didn't use wxpython-related applications on this machine previous to outwiker so I have no previous version in pacnam's cache to downgrade

Where to go next please, is it worth tryinf to find the appropriate version of wxPython? Notice the developper? Or better keep this app in my watching-list?

Man, the x86_64 made it work at work and the i686 on the netbook
Thank you karol!

Next time, if you need some old packages that aren't in the repos any more, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_Packages and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ck_Machine
Often you can find the PKGBUILDs in the AUR or in the svntogit https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … s/wxpython , but you have to compile them yourself.

Thank you karol, as I read about arm before but shame on me I didn't inquire, till reading the pages you provided. Awesome!

I had the same problem using Outwiker. Fixed it downgrading wxPython (3.0.0.0-2 => 2.8.12.1-4) and wxgtk (3.0.0-2 => 2.8.12.1-5).
Is it possible to install wxPython 2.8 and 3.0 packages simultaneously?

Yes, they are both in [extra]

For the record I can confirm that [AUR] outwiker runs with extra/wxpython2.8-2.8.12.1-1
