Dabo and wxPython ("classic") 3.0
by Sibylle Koczian 07 May '16

07 May '16

Hello, I've upgraded my Xubuntu installation from 15.10 to 16.04 yesterday and couldn't start the first Dabo application I tried, because wxpython wasn't installed any more. There is no package python-wxgt2.? any more, only python-wxgtk3.0. So I installed that and got this exception: sib@gespenst-xubuntu:~/src/dabo/demo$ ./DaboDemo.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./DaboDemo.py", line 24, in <module> main() File "./DaboDemo.py", line 20, in main app.start() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/dApp.py", line 388, in start self.setup() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/dApp.py", line 340, in setup self.initUIApp() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/dApp.py", line 380, in initUIApp self.uiApp.setup() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/uiApp.py", line 433, in setup frm = self.dApp.MainForm = dabo.ui.createForm(mfc) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/__init__.py", line 1356, in createForm frm = cls(*args, **kwargs) File "/tmp/tmp7FMZLl.py", line 18, in __init__ super(dForm_23131, self).__init__(parent=parent, attProperties=attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dForm.py", line 1044, in __init__ *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dForm.py", line 40, in __init__ attProperties=attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dFormMixin.py", line 76, in __init__ attProperties=attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dPemMixin.py", line 202, in __init__ self._afterInit() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dForm.py", line 58, in _afterInit super(BaseForm, self)._afterInit() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dFormMixin.py", line 96, in _afterInit self.MenuBar = mbc() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dMenuBar.py", line 21, in __init__ pm.dPemMixin.__init__(self, preClass, None, properties, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dPemMixin.py", line 202, in __init__ self._afterInit() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dBaseMenuBar.py", line 184, in _afterInit self.fileMenu = self.appendMenu(FileMenu(self, MenuID="base_file")) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dBaseMenuBar.py", line 26, in __init__ super(FileMenu, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dMenu.py", line 47, in __init__ attProperties=attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dPemMixin.py", line 202, in __init__ self._afterInit() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dBaseMenuBar.py", line 43, in _afterInit help=_("Open up a debug output window")) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dMenu.py", line 255, in append menutype=menutype, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dMenu.py", line 238, in _createMenuItem item = _actualCreation(caption, help, picture, menutype, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dMenu.py", line 232, in _actualCreation _item.Caption = caption File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dMenuItem.py", line 95, in _setCaption self._redefine() File "/home/sib/src/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx/dMenuItem.py", line 72, in _redefine self.SetBitmap(self.Icon) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2/wx/_core.py", line 12543, in SetBitmap return _core_.MenuItem_SetBitmap(*args, **kwargs) wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "Assert failure" failed at ../src/gtk/menu.cpp(724) in SetBitmap(): only normal menu items can have bitmaps sib@gespenst-xubuntu:~/src/dabo/demo$ Is it possible to run Dabo using wxPython 3 (which still calls itself "classic", so it's not the Phoenix version for Python 3)?

Hi everyone, I haven't really used Dabo for sometime - maybe 6 months or more. I started a new project - a python CRUD app. I had forgotten how much fun and a pleasure Dabo is to use! I don't know how many times I have said this - but it's not enough! THANK YOU ED AND PAUL for Dabo! :-) Johnf

Re: [dabo-users] Two column RadioList
by john 06 May '16

I think I would subclass wx.RadioBox. Take a look at the wxPython demo. Also: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/wxpython/wx_radiobutton_radiobox.htm In the subclass I'd add self.RegID='somestr' so I can later use the value inside Dabo without much trouble. Every thing that is available in wxPython can be used in Dabo. The only issue of course is assigning a value to the control and reading the control. Dabo did not setup a subclass for RadioBox. If and when Phoenix is released maybe somebody will add a dRadioBox. If you are interested you might want to write a dRadioBox.py. I think following the dRadioList would be a good starting point. Maybe someone has a better suggestion.

dabo 2 but no git branch
by john 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hi Everyone, Let me explain why I haven't created a branch for Dabo2 (btw that is not completely true). Werner and I (also Neil Flowers) started working toward creating a version of Dabo that would work with python 3 and wxPython Phoenix. I'll guess and say that was way over a year ago. There are at least three branches on github covering that work. I can't recall their names at the moment but they are there. But as we all know Phoenix development just stopped. Phoenix was never completed. Good News - I believe as of yesterday development will restart with Andrea (the author of the many AGW features/controls in wxPython 3.x) as the captain. Let's hope. So as a result Dabo 3 development(that's what I call it) just stopped too. All that work is available on GitHub. About 16 months ago wxPython 3.x became stable but still used python 2. Soon after Neil Flowers and I started work on supporting wxPython 3.x. We started with the work that was done to support Phoenix. Neil submitted the work (it's on github) and is available to anyone. Of course I had my copy of the work and I started using it for my daily client work. I found many issues at first but I fixed them to work for me. That my friends is why I did not commit the work. You see, I took short cuts - ones that I knew that would be not right for the general use of Dabo. In fact I'm sort of sure that a few things I coded will not work in the Mac world. I don't have a Mac so I can't really be sure. Also international concerns were just tossed out the window. My work is done in the USA and I didn't want to see a bug because of unicode. So unicode sort went bye bye. So you are saying that I should commit anyway in my own branch. The bottom line is I did not want to commit and have some programmer think the junk I did was any sort of reflection of the good work of the Dabo team. I still feel that way. I also know that the work Neil and I did does work for most of Dabo. I think the report designer doesn't work on Linux and many other issues are there too. It also has a lot of the code supporting Phoenix (if Phoenix do this else do something ). But it's available and is just an OK starting point. In fact some of my Dabo 2 still has those issues. But I did not need the report designer working under Linux (I hand code the xml anyway for reports) and if I did need the report designer I have a windows VM available. I have given my code to others - but I believe they understand what they are getting - and I'm willing to provide my code if you ask. But I truly believe you are better off using the code Neil and I developed. So I'm not going to create a new branch with my code. Thanks, Johnf

The Dabo "stable" version only supports wxPython 2.8. That is the real answer - only wxPython 2.8.x is supported. I believe the stable version is the working version on github. I could be wrong as I haven't played with the working version for sometime. But we all know that wxPython 2.8 is very much outdated. In fact wxPython 3.0.2.0 has been out for almost 17 months. So why hasn't Dabo moved forward? The answer is because of wxPython Phoenix. When Phoenix was announced it was assumed that Dabo would move to Phoenix and python 3.x when Phoenix was stable - never happened. I think it's been over two years since there has been any real work done on Phoenix. Because of the time delay Neil Flowers and I decided we would try to get wxPython 3.x running with Dabo. And the work is in a github branch of Dabo called dabo2 https://github.com/dabodev/dabo/tree/dabo2 It works with wxPython 3.x - that said - it is NOT a stable version! If you believe you have need of wxPython 3.x use the dabo2 branch. My code contains a few changes that I needed and I doubt will be helpful for the general public and it is doubtful that those changes are cross platform. And I do NOT feel comfortable putting my code on github for the world to access.

I have tested on all of the windows VM's I have including xp,vista,7, and 10. Yes you are correct that this is an issue with the standard dabo menu (file, edit, etc..). I'm sort of concerned because the error is from core.py and I have been stopped there in the past -I'm not any sort c guy. But sooner or later I have a work around. Can you run the wxPython demo? Find something that creates a top menu (I think MDIWindows does). Even running the demo creates a top menu. As a short cut you might want to comment out the SetBitmap statement. Just to see if it works. The standard menu does not use bitmaps. Ubuntu 1604 is to new (just two days right?) for me to do any testing. I normally wait a month or two.
