rapid-gui fails to start

[jandd]

rapid-gui does not start (tried both easy_install'ed and extracted versions) it gives the following traceback:

> rapid-gui 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/rapid-gui", line 15, in 
    window = RapidGUI()

    for p in filter( dataFunction, main.rapid.packages ):

running in pdb you can see that main.rapid really does not have a packages object:

fixed in http://github.com/springlobby/rapid/commit/58cd98943cbd606a160bbdc2ae7899349ac1b470 afaik tobi's on vacation atm, so it'll be a bit until it gets merged back

I had to fix the patch because os was not imported at the right place: http://github.com/jandd/rapid/commit/d2c470bf7aef63f54719e0e24872339cce2d35e7

hmm, that's a little weird I think. Did you try to run via the run.py in the repo, ./run.py bin/rapid-gui ? That script imports 'os' so that might mask the issue. Nevertheless I'd be interested in a trace without your commit.

[jandd]

I just installed bin/rapid-gui in /usr/games/ (I'm working on a policy compliant Debian package) and ran it as rapid-gui as a normal user would do it.

fixed in v0.3.3, thanks for the patches!

That script imports 'os' so that might mask the issue. Indeed. Fixed run.py now too so it leaves less traces :-)
