This is a known change in python-2.6 (and isn't related to wxpython). From the "what's new in python 2.6" page: object.__init__() previously accepted arbitrary arguments and keyword arguments, ignoring them. In Python 2.6, this is no longer allowed and will result in a TypeError. This will affect __init__() methods that end up calling the corresponding method on object (perhaps through using super()). See issue 1683368 for discussion.
Thanks, reported to upstream for now. I don't have python 2.6 unmasked to test.
Should be fixed by upstream in 0.71.3 I just committed. Can anyone please test?

(In reply to comment #4) > /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/taskcoachlib/domain/date/date.py:29: > DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters > super(RealDate, self).__init__(year, month, day) going off http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime.date you probably should just assign the values to year,month and day rather than depending on a constructor. No upstream patch/bug exists
Could anyone try taskcoach-0.72.3 with python 2.6 as I don't see the problematic line there anymore?
(In reply to comment #6) > Could anyone try taskcoach-0.72.3 with python 2.6 as I don't see the > problematic line there anymore? > Python: 2.6.1, taskcoach: 0.72.3 Result: everything is fine, no warning line
Thanks :) Closing then.
