I'm new to Dabo, and have tried to follow the installation instructions
to the letter. I chose not to install Tortoise, and am running Windows
XP Home, with McAfee Antivirus Plus.
Web Update does not seem to be updating my system. The reason I am
trying to run Web Update is that can't run ClassDesigner - it produces
an error message: object has no attribute 'dPageStyled', and various
posts suggest that a Web Update from DaboDemo should solve the problem.
(DaboDemo fires up with no problems.)
I have run Web Update repeatedly, but nothing seems to change. I
checked the McAfee incoming events log, which said that "a computer at
mail.daboserver.com has attempted an unsolicited connection". The
message gave the IP address (98.129.169.111), so I added this as a
trusted connection in McAfee's Firewall Connections setting, but it
didn't make any difference.
Any advice please ? I am itching to try Dabo ...
Many thanks.
Pete

How are you attempting to run Web Update? Are you getting any error messages when you try to run it?

How are you attempting to run Web Update? Are you getting any error messages when you try to
run it?
-- Ed Leafe
Thanks for responding. I am running Web Update manually from DaboDemo,
as follows: (apologies if this is too much info)
From the command prompt, I navigate to the \demo directory, and then
issue the command
python dabodemo.py
which brings up the Dabo Demo. Within the demo, I select Edit,
Preferences from the menu, and then click the Web Update tab. I then
make sure the "Check for framework updates" box is checked, and click
the "Check now..." button.
This presents me with a form saying that updates are available. Three
changes are specified in the changes grid, each with "Change" of M and
"Project" of dabo. The files are: settings.py, ui/uiwx/dDateTextBox.py,
and ui/uiwx/dSizerMixin.py.
I respond to the "Do you want to install them now?" prompt by pressing
the "Yes" button. A "Success!" box pops up, saying "Dabo has been
updated to the current revision. The app will now exit. Please re-run
the application."
No error messages are evident (is there a log file I should be looking at ?)
I press two "OK" buttons to get back to the demo, and then close the demo.
The problem is that if I then follow exactly the same procedure, I get
exactly the same results (i.e. the same updates are still available).
(I was hoping that this would fix the problem in which, when I switch to
the \ide directory and try to run ClassDesigner.py, I get the response
"AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'dPageStyled')
Many thanks.

Let me guess. The following files:
settings.py
ui/uiwx/dDateTextBox.py
ui/uiwx/dSizerMixin.py
I have been seeing the same thing, just have not taken the time to track it
down. I am using Linux(Ubuntu 10.04)
Platform: GTK
Python Version: 2.6.5 on linux2
Dabo Version: Version 0.9.3; Revision ~6449
UI Version: 2.8.11.0 on wxGTK (gtk2)

Thanks - that was the clue I needed.
It turns out that WebUpdate has rev. 6450 as its current state, but in rev. 6450, dabo/__version__.py reports rev. 6449. Those three files are what changed between those two commits. The reason that the __version__ file is out of sync is due to our post-commit-hook practice of bumping the number in that file.
So the good news is that the WebUpdate cycle can be fixed by simply editing your __version__.py and change the line:
_approximateRevision = "~6449"
to read:
_approximateRevision = "~6450"
The bad news is that this won't fix Pete's problem:

This is most likely due to an older version of wxPython. My guess is that your version is older than 2.8.4, which is the version that introduced that class. To check, run any Dabo app (DaboDemo is fine), and open the Help/About menu. The dialog that comes up has all the version info, as well as a button to allow you to easily copy that and paste it into an email.

Thanks Ed - that works.

Here is the Help/About info from Dabo Demo:
Platform: Win
Python Version: 2.5 on win32
Dabo Version: Version 0.9.3; Revision ~6450
UI Version: 2.8.1.1 on wxMSW
- does the "UI Version" equate to wxPython ?
I looked at wxpython.org for downloads. About half-way down the
downloads page,
there is a Windows Binary for 32-bit Python 2.5 (wxPython2.9-win32-py25)
- would this be the one to download and install ?
Thanks again.

No, you should download and install wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-py26
You should first install Python 2.6.x.
I'd recommend installing Python 2.7.x and wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-py27 but I
haven't tested this configuration yet.

Ah ... it's a start-again job, then (as at today, the Windows
installation instructions on wiki.dabodev.com/InstallationOnWindows
still say to use Python 2.5 or 2.4)
Thanks for the help, Paul. I'll get going on uninstalling & reinstalling
as & when work etc permits.
