nvpy Not Starting

[cnodell]

I have installed and run nvpy via debians packet manager and by cloning the git repo and running it from there.

I am using python 2.7.8 on Debian Testing

In both cases there is a flicker as the gui seems to start loading, then it dissapears and I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am trying to not use simple note syncing, to store notes as text files in a directory. Here are the contents of my ~/.nvpy.cfg:

[nvpy]
simplenote_sync = 0
notes_as_txt = 1
txt_path = /home/user/Documents/notes

This looks similar to a recent(ish) bug in the debian packaging: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762747

I just ran into it on this updated Ubuntu 14.04 system with packages python 2.7.5-5ubuntu3 and python-tk 2.7.5-1ubuntu1 -- this almost makes me angry enough to upgrade to python 3!

On another updated Ubuntu 14.04 system, with the same versions of python and python-tk, I can't reproduce this issue. IOW nvpy works like a charm.

The only other difference is that system 1 has python 3.5 installed from a PPA.

...

Digging a bit more, I see that the Tkinter.py on the working system does not have the call to _createbytearray(v) at all. Tkinter.py is supplied by libpython2.7-stdlib version 2.7.6-8ubuntu0.2. Will have to check on the broken system which version it has.
