Cedega Python Error

  File "/home/michael/.cedega/.ui/app/frontend/main.py", line 30
    print "ERROR: You must have Python version 2.4 or later to run Cedega"
                                                                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The installer runs fine, then once I try to run it the second time I run into this error any idea.

python 2.7 and python 3.1.2-2

Re: Cedega Python Error

The file /home/michael/.cedega/.ui/app/frontend/main.py probably has #!/usr/bin/python at the top.   Change python to python2

Re: Cedega Python Error

Close, it has

#!/usr/bin/env python

I tried changing it to

#!/usr/bin/python2

or

#!/usr/bin/env python2

And no luck. but I'm pretty sure its something right here.

EDIT

Got it to start up.

I modified cd /usr/lib/cedega/cedega_start

to include

PYTHON=${PYTHON:-python2}
export PYTHON

then I run ./cedega_start

Though this solution is sloppy, I don't know how to do it with just executing cedega

EDIT 2

The Cedega GUI is starting up, but whenever I try to launch anything It gives me several alearts telling me a bunch of dll and exe files are missing.

Re: Cedega Python Error

Try including

PYTHON=${PYTHON:-python2}
export PYTHON

in  ~/.cedega/.ui/runGUI and start Cedega like usual. Worked for me.

Re: Cedega Python Error

Worked for starting cedega. Though whenever I try to start anything I am missing DLL files. For WoW I replaced them, but it didn't help.
