Location.getX() and getY() return Python-float/Java-double (from java.awt.Point) - should return int

Asked by Roman Podolyan

Sikuli X-1.0rc1

I met an issue with Location.getX() / getY on Mac OS X Snow Leopard - it seems that return type isn't int, and I can't pass it to a function requiring int without a type converion.

# this works:
tmpx = int(mylocation.getX()) + 100
...
end = Location(tmpx,100)

# and this works:
tmpx = mylocation.x + 100
...
end = Location(tmpx,100)

# and this doesn't:
tmpx = mylocation.getX() + 100
...
end = Location(tmpx,100)

It throws error "1st arg can't be coerced to int"

According to documentation and Q&A https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/139814 , I think that something is wrong.

Am I right, or I just don't know something about Python?

absolutely right:

Class Location is defined on the Java level and does not have it's own get/set methods inheriting it from java.awt.Point.

These getX, .... return a double (Python float) value.

I will change the doc accordingly and report a bug so that the developers may decide to implement get methods returning int.

So just use .x and .y (which are read/write attributes) for now.

Thanks for your input
