Please fix it.
Hi, I'm sorry you are having trouble getting started. We definitely need to improve our setup scripts to work seamlessly with pip. I hit that translation error you posted simply by doing 'pip install dabo'. However, I was able to do the following on Ubuntu 12.04: # make a clean virtualenv: mkvirtualenv dabo_test_install cdsitepackages # use the 'main' python installation of wx in the virtualenv: echo "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk-unicode" > wx.pth # download and install dabo: cd /tmp wget https://github.com/dabodev/dabo/archive/v0.9.14.tar.gz tar -xzvf v0.9.14.tar.gz cd dabo-0.9.14 python setup.py install # test: (dabo_test_install)pmcnett@lin:/tmp$ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug 1 2012, 05:14:39) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import dabo >>> app = dabo.dApp() >>> app.start() # and here I see the GUI with no errors, and press Alt+F4 to close and get the python prompt back. Could you try these steps (not sure how different they are from what you did) and let me know how it goes? I highly recommend using virtualenv if you aren't already, but it isn't required.
