Help with Help

[Grant Ito]

Hi.

Just finished going through the text editor tutorial that comes with Boa
Constructor and am very impressed with wxPython.

I do have a question about accessing the Help files though. When I click
on any of the Help icons, I get a Python error message. The details are
as follows:

10:18:08 PM: Traceback (most recent call last):
10:18:08 PM:   File
"/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Editor.py", line 1178, in
OnHelp     Help.showHelp('Editor.html')
10:18:08 PM:   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Help.py",
line 267, in showHelp     getHelpController().Display(filename)
10:18:08 PM:   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Help.py",
line 323, in Display     self.frameX = wxHelpFrameEx(self)
10:18:08 PM:   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Help.py",
line 425, in __init__     self.indexPanel.GetChildren()[:3]
10:18:08 PM:   File
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line
8302, in __getitem__     return _core_.WindowList___getitem__(*args,
**kwargs)
10:18:08 PM: TypeError: in method 'WindowList___getitem__', expected
argument 2 of type 'size_t'

The help pages came up regardless, but I'm wondering if there's
something I'm missing due to the error. Any suggestions?

~Grant.

You mean any of the three icons on the top toolbar?

I just tried them on my testing copy of Boa running under Python 2.6.2
and they work for me.

Are you using 2.6.2 or is in an earlier version of 2.6?

What OS are you running this on?  I tried on Windows Vista.

If you just start with Python and/or wxPython you might at the moment be
better of with Python 2.5.4 as 2.6 is still relatively new and lots of
libraries etc do not yet work with 2.6 or work only using some work around.
