Description:
elisa does not start at all. it just shows me a black screen and a handful of tracebacks. the only way to close it is to kill it. I tracked it down to the module twisted.web2 missing. I installed twisted-web2 from AUR and it somewhat worked. I can navigate and all but as soon as i press escape (e.g to go up one layer in the menu) it simply crashes.

If I browse around a little, there seem to be quite some other modules missing like python-dbus and something about coherence which i couldn't track down which archlinux package it would belong to (if any)... So I think someone with more experience in python matters than me should look at the forced dependencies and at the "recommended" dependencies.

I have no previous experience with elisa, so i can't say with which version this strange behaviour was introduced.

Oh and it happens on both my computers so it's probably not just something I fscked up on my arch installation.


Additional info:
* package version(s)

elisa-base 0.5.20-1
elisa-plugins 0.5.20-1
twisted 8.1.0-2
twisted-web2 8.1.0-1
pygtk 2.13.0-2
python-pigment 0.3.9-1
gstreamer0.10-python 0.10.13-2
setuptools 0.6c9-2
python-cssutils 0.9.5.1-2
pil 1.1.6-5
pyopenssl 0.8-1

* config and/or log files etc.
no/default config

without module web2: (I killed the process with -9, else it dumps a whole lot of cleaning up stuff on the console)

with module web2: (only start it, wait for it to load the menu and then press escape to quit again.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. install elisa
2. start elisa

somewhat solved version:
1. install elisa
2. install twisted-web2 from AUR
3. start elisa
4. go into any category
5. try to get to main menu by pressing escape
--> crash
This task depends upon

I was trying to get this bug fixed with the below bug:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12007

You have to have this in order for elisa to work corrently:
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD/elisa-core:$PWD/elisa-plugins:$PYTHONPATH

You also have to build it with twisted-web2 installed. I think thats part of the problem with elisa not working right.

I hope this helps.

ok, I added twisted-web2 as dependence.
elisa works good for me without export PYTHONPATH, try the 0.5.22 and let me know.
thanks

Sorry, I always stick to Arch Linux section and forget to watch other projects in My searhces.

Well, since 0.5.22 (and twisted-web2 installed for the first time) elisa starts without problem.
