Bug 290200 – Stabilize dev-python/python-xlib-0.14

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roelof Wobben 2009-10-23 05:57:00 UTC]

When I want to run a python programm, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/bin/autokey", line 5, in <module> 
    from autokey.autokey import Application 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/autokey/autokey.py", line 25, 
in <module> 
    import service, ui.notifier, ui.popupmenu, ui.configwindow, 
ui.abbrselector 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/autokey/service.py", line 21, 
in <module> 
    from iomediator import Key, IoMediator 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/autokey/iomediator.py", line 
90, in <module> 
    from interface import * 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/autokey/interface.py", line 
30, in <module> 
    from Xlib.ext import record, xtest 
ImportError: cannot import name record 


For me It seems that python-xlib is missing the Xlib.ext module.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install autokey
2. Run Autokey
3.

Actual Results:  
programm won't run

Expected Results:  
Programm will run smoothly

I think what you need is the testing-graded version of dev-python/python-xlib (0.14).

The current stable python-xlib is 0.12-r3, has base source from year 2002 (I think). SourceForge SVN Browse shows that Xlib.ext.record was only added in 2006, so you will need the newer version.

Oke, 

But version 0.14 is not stable. 
So persons which want to use my ebuild are forced to make a mix between stable and unstable now.
I hope that .014 will be stable soon.

Ok, there is an ebuild? Before doing anything else, update the ebuild to depend on something like ">=dev-python/python-xlib-0.14", just to ensure a recent enough python-xlib.

As for the stabilization, it needs a stabilization request bug. I'm not sure if the devs will accept it if you just change the title of this bug into something like "Stabilization request for dev-python/python-xlib-0.14". Maybe it's worth a try? Otherwise you'll need to file a separate bug.

Please stabilize dev-python/python-xlib-0.14.

[Comment 5 Romain Perier (RETIRED) 2009-10-24 09:55:07 UTC]

amd64 done

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2009-11-03 15:07:09 UTC]

HPPA doesn't have python-xlib keyworded. If you intended to state a keyword request, please do so explicitly (and re-CC us).

I probably accidentally pressed HPPA entry instead of IA64 in the list of architectures.

Oke, 

And how about the x86 architectures ?

[e-mail] is already in the CC list.
(dev-python/python-xlib-0.12-r3 is stable on x86.)

[Comment 10 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2009-11-08 17:48:14 UTC]

Stable on alpha.

[Comment 11 nixnut (RETIRED) 2009-11-08 19:29:17 UTC]

ppc stable

[Comment 12 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2009-11-14 16:35:18 UTC]

All done
