It would be slower and cleaner to test each package Bo one by one in python, but I was not able to decipher the latex Bo code. The part of chkconfig.ltx that tests for available packages could indeed use kpsewhich for testing, but I am not sure this would fix the bug above. JMarc

The problem is here MiKTeX that quits the script instead of printing an error message and then continue. regards Uwe

Result of: Python help needed for configure.py - MiKTeX-problem
+checking for package geometry [geometry]... yes
+checking for package jurabib [jurabib]...
creating packages.lst
creating doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx
LyX: Fertig!
lyx: Disabling LyX socket.
And this is the problem: In the example above configure.py checks for
the LaTeX-package jurabib and MiKTeX tries to install it as it isn't
currently installed. As no internet connection is available this is of
course unsuccessful. But now comes the problem: configure.py doesn't
continue but jumps to the section where the list files are created - the
created are buggy because the inspection of LaTeX was incomplete.
I investigated a lot now: The reason for this is this routine in configure.py:
# we have chklayouts.tex, then process it
fout = os.popen(LATEX + ' wrap_chkconfig.ltx')
while True:
line = fout.readline()
if not line:
break;
if re.match('^\+', line):
print line,
fout.close()
When the check is unsuccessful the line becomes invalid and therefore the while
loop breaks.
The problem of this is line 77 in chkconfig.ltx (command definition of
\TestItem) :
\IfFileExists{\file}
{}
{\IfFileExists{\file.#4}{}{\existsfalse}}
When MiKTeX's option Install Missing Packages on the fly is set as Yes but no Internet connection is open when \ifFileExists is invoked, the
latex-script is closed by MiKTeX and you get in the console:
==
latex: No Data
I wrote an email to the MiKTeX-developer but I don't have hope that this could
easily be fixed :-(.
