was just fixing this to use wxversion and ran into several issues: - Advanced -> Inspect... <pearsapp.MainFrame; proxy of C++ wxFrame instance at _7094a208_p_wxFrame> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pears/pearsapp.py", line 986, in launchShell from wxPython.lib.PyCrust import shell, filling ImportError: No module named PyCrust When I fixed that I got: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pears/pearsapp.py", line 987, in launchShell self.shell = wx.wxFrame(self, -1, "Pears inspector") AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'wxFrame' - Feeds -> Show Properties Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pears/pearsapp.py", line 1387, in showFeedProperties dlg.showProps() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pears/pearsapp.py", line 212, in showProps t.append(u": ".join([key, engine.htmlToPlain(self.feedprops[key], DISPCODE)])) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) Similar upstream bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1151597&group_id=89930&atid=591917 The short of it is pears isn't unicode friendly.

Trivial fix. There may be more, I stopped there. Upstream is dead. No response on forums or bug tracker since 2005. Last release June 19, 2004. Masked for removal Jan 4, 2007, unless someone wants to fix the above problems.
