Xibo

PyClient 1.1.0a20 on Ubuntu 9.10 start issue

Asked by mstibs

Hi!

I'm writing an article about Xibo for a german Linux mag and I'm stuck with this:

root@box:/opt/xibo/pyclient/client/python# ./run.sh
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "XiboClient.py", line 24, in <module>
    from libavg import avg, anim, button
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libavg/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from avg import *
AttributeError: 'Boost.Python.StaticProperty' object attribute '__doc__' is read-only
root@box:/opt/xibo/pyclient/client/python#

Could you guys give me a hint plz?
Python is a book with 7 seals for me.

Best!

It looks to me like you have the standard libboost-python libraries installed - rather than the ones from the PPA linked from the install instructions:

http://wiki.xibo.org.uk/wiki/Install_Guide_Python_Client#Ubuntu_9.10_and_derivatives

You'll find it at the second point.

Hopefully that'll be all that's required.

You're aware though that the python client is still an alpha so from a review point of view we'd much prefer you reviewed a stable release of Xibo!

Many thanks

Alex

Hi STIBS

Did that get it working for you?

Hi Alex!

Hope you got my answering mail, I didn't post it here.

Anyway, it worked like a charm and the article about Xibo is written with the recommendation to use the Windows client in production environments and the Linux one for testing. Roughly five printed pages about Xibo will hopefully appear in Linux Intern magazine in Germany after the Easter holidays (yes, it's that long =( ... ) unless the editor changes his mind about the topic.

Thank you again for the help!

Best!
