Description Mike Auty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-26 13:22:05 UTC 
The error when running is:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Xlib/display.py", line 30, in <module>
    import protocol.display
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py", line 749
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xf6' in file /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py on line 749, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

As caused by the credits on line 749 contains an o with double dots over it (not sure of the precise name, sorry).  Changing this to a normal o lets it all work normally.  The problem could also be fixed by adding the correct encoding hint above the comment...

This should fix it.

python-xlib-0.13 (released August 6th, 2006) fixes the encoding issue. grepping its Xlib/protocol/display.py shows "# -*- coding: latin-1 -*-". Unfortunately PyPanel-2.4 doesn't run with 0.13, at least on my machine.
Comment 3 Lukasz Strzygowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-12 22:15:42 UTC 
Fixed.
