wxPython?

[omega-weapon]

Ok, so I recently found out about Anki and would like to try it out on my Pandora. Turns out I need to install wxPython.

I've downloaded it from the Repo, put it on my card, when I run it, it just tells me about demos. What the hell am I supposed to do to actually install it? Everywhere I've looked it just says "Make sure you have the wxPython.pnd installed" and there are never any instructions HOW to install it.

Am I completely missing the point here? Or is it something that is only for advanced users and I should just scrap the idea of Anki on my Pandora?

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of what I get.

Yes, Anki need wxPython, but you don't need to launch it to make Anki work.

Just Launch Anki, and it will find wxPython by itself and will use it automaticaly...

Right, well unfortunately, something is still not working. I already tried just running Anki but nothing happens. The SD activity light flashes for a moment, then nothing.

What am I doing wrong? This is so frustrating!

I think it's something else, I guess the "locale" problem some other got.


From a terminal, do "sudo mousepad ~/.bashrc" and (after typing your password) add a line with

export LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"

that should fix Anki.

*Sigh* Just tried that, didn't make a difference. Performed a restart too, but still doesn't boot.

What is inside /tmp/pndrun_ankianjo.out ?

Also, here are some hints too: http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/15291-significant-improvement-anki/

But in short, I forgot what variable should be defined. It's not LOCALE as I suggest but LC_ALL and LANG:

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

You need a LANG line like this in your .profile:

export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

(instead of en_GB.UTF-8, you can substitute a similar, valid langauge code, for example en_US.UTF-8). You should find your .profile file in your home directory. When Anki is first started, it prompts you to select your language preference. However, for this prompt to work, it needs guess what, a language setting - kind of a catch 22 - but there you go!

You will need to logout/login or reboot for the change to take effect.

Just run this WxPython PND (the latest from repo) but it won't run any demo it say on terminal:

Welcome to wxPython command line
you can find a demo of wxPython in demo, run it with 'python demo/demo.py'
.
Also, wxGlade can be run with 'python wxGlade/wxglade.py'
.
And, to launch PyQT demos do 'python examples/demos/qtdemos/qtdemos.py'
.
type exit to close this window
.

I'm using a Fat32 SD card and latest SuperZaxxon (1.60)

Oh, seems I have added some folder I shouldn't (leftover of previous tests). I'll package a new release this weekend..

 

[Farox]

Thanks for looking at it

A suggestion...why not open a new thread for WxPython?

Yes, I will. I kind of forgot that when I published the package. I'll do that this weekend, with a new release, with the documents and code snippet needed to use it
