Call For Testing: Updated PyGObject, Pycairo and PyGTK for Windows

[John Stowers]

Hi All,

I spent some time updating the windows installers for PyGObject, PyGTK
and Pycairo.

I would appreciate it if those interested tested these installers before
they go on the official GNOME servers. The installers are

* PyGObject 2.26 (for glib-2.26.0)
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.6.exe
* Pycairo 1.8.10
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.6.exe
* PyGTK 2.22 (for gtk+-2.22.0)
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygtk-2.22.0.win32-py2.6.exe

These require the installation of the appropriate dependencies.
However, to make this step easier, and until Tor updates the gtk+
bundle, Armin Burgmeier provided me with an interim gtk+ bundle [1].
This can be downloaded from the following address,
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/gtk
+-bundle-win32-devel-2.22.zip
Once extracted to C:\GTK (for example), you will need to add C:\GTK\bin
to your path.

The installers and dependencies will be removed from my site
and moved to the GNOME servers once verified that they work.

Some technical details about the installers
* Built against Python 2.6.6
* Source code comes from the 'windows' branch of each project
  (on git.gnome.org)
* They were built using wine-1.2+MinGW on Ubuntu 10.04
  as my laptop with a windows install is on loan. This means they
  have not been tested on a real windows install yet...
* Yes, this actually works.
* The script to generate the installers lives at
  http://gist.github.com/629505
* MinGW with GCC-4.5.0 was used for the compilation.
* gtk+-2.22 sees the return of the windows theme! Please test
  this by setting adding the following line to
  C:\GTK\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc (for example)

  gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows"

Happy testing and good luck,

John

things seems to work quite nicely! Great !

Some comments though: When installing pygobject and pygtk, at the end of
the installer in the textview there is an error message:
close failed in file object destructor:
Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was:

But that doesn't prevent things to work.

Second point : there seems to be a problem with styles:
tree.rc_get_style().bg[gtk.STATE_ACTIVE].to_string() return
#000000000000, then I do
renderer.set_property('cell-background', col2)
and background is black, of course, but bg[gtk.STATE_ACTIVE] should not
return Black, I don't use a black theme.

Thanks for this installers!!

You mean in the textview of the installer (lastpage?),  I didn't see any such error message. I am testing on XP with python 2.6.5.

I didn't have any problems with the limited testing I performed.

Good job

Steve.

I've tested with both Armin Burgmeier's binaries and the new gtk+ bundle
from [1] and everything seems to function correctly :)

Hi All,

Thanks for your feedback and testing. I updated the installers again to
hopefully correct the bug some were seeing on install. I also generated
installers for Python2.7.

Can those who got an error on install please test these to ensure that
this is no longer present.

PyGObject 2.26 (for glib-2.26.0)
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.6.exe
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.7.exe

Pycairo 1.8.10
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.6.exe
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.7.exe

PyGTK 2.22 (for gtk+-2.22.0)
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygtk-2.22.0.win32-py2.6.exe
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygtk-2.22.0.win32-py2.7.exe

These are to be used with the all in one gtk bundle

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.22/gtk
+-bundle_2.22.0-20101016_win32.zip

The script used for building the installers has also been updated
http://gist.github.com/629505

Thanks,

John

I still have the same error when installing pygobject and pygtk:

"close failed in file object destructor:
Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was:"

And I still have the problem with styles, but that's probably not due to
windows installers.

Thanks for your work

Yeah, styles is something different. Can you please run the installer
from the console and see if it prints anything else of interest please?

What is your target system, etc?

Does anyone else have any ideas on this?

This might be caused by leftover files from a previous installation.
At least, the error stopped for me once I manually cleaned my pyg*
environment last year.

Uninstall pygtk, pygobject, pycairo (and other pyg* bindings if you
have them) and manually delete the following (if those files/dirs
are still there...):
<pythonroot>\include\pycairo
<pythonroot>\include\pygtk-2.0
<pythonroot>\Lib\pkgconfig
<pythonroot>\Lib\site-packages\cairo
<pythonroot>\Lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0
<pythonroot>\Lib\site-packages\pygtk*
<pythonroot>\share\gtk-doc
<pythonroot>\share\pygobject
<pythonroot>\share\pygtk

Then reinstall pycairo, pygobject and pygtk. If you still get the error
after that, I'd like to know about it. That would mean something goes
wrong when the pkgconfig file gets fixed during the installation
process (in postinstall).

John: I'll investigate if it's possible to fix the pkgconfig
file at build time instead of the current postinstall procedure.
That way we can drop postinstall altogether and .msi
installers can have a working environment too (as those don't
support postinstall)...

hth,
Dieter

I did all that, reinstalled everything, and I still get error on
pygobject and pygtk.
Funny thing is that if I run the .exe from command line, I don't get
error, but a success message and the end of the installer.

I'm installing on a win7, python 2.6.4

I added some logging to the postinstall script and made a new pygobject
snapshot, available from [1]. Could you give it a try and post the log
from the last page of the installer?

Thanks,

I uninstalled everything, removed previously listed folder, installed
this pygobject, and still the same error at the end, without any
debugging thing. I only see:

"close failed in file object destructor:
Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was:"

And still no error when run from command line

For the pygobject installation? That's really strange...
There's only one test I can think of we can still try:
uninstall again, remove everything as described before but also delete:
<pythonroot>\Scripts\pygobject*
<pythonroot>\Scripts\pygtk*
<pythonroot>\Scripts\pygtk*
<pythonroot>\pygobject-wininst.log
<pythonroot>\pygtk-wininst.log

Then install pycairo, then the pygobject version I sent you and look again
at the contents of the last page of the pygobject installer. What's the
output?
Note this does not affect the error of the pygtk installer, you'll still
see it there and that's to be expected...

Oh, there's a second thing we can check.
- Did you install Python "for all users" or "just for me" in windows 7?
- If installed "for all users", do you run pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.6.exe
   as admin?
- Does windows 7 ask for permission to run the .exe as admin?

As the installers filename does not contain the magic 'setup' or 'install'
substring, I doubt windows 7 runs it with an admin account by default. That
may be causing your problem also...

hth,
Dieter

Nothing more, still the same thing.

For all users

Yes, I install it as admin (right click -> run as admin). But anyway
there is only one account that have admin rights.

Yes

Ok, I'm quite sure this is not an issue with the postinstall script
itself.

I've made 3 new build to make sure. All 3 have their pygobject_postinstall.py
replaced with simply:
=====
import sys
if len(sys.argv) == 2:
     if sys.argv[1] == '-install':
         print ('Great, you\'ve reached the postinstall script')
=====
This means if you see "Great, you've reached the postinstall script"
on the last page, the installer worked.

The first [1] one is compiled as usual and will most certainly produce the
error message. The second [2] and third [3] have been compiled with the
bdist_wininst uac option set to various values.

Could you try them out? I'll bet the first doesn't work, but hope 2  
and 3 do...

Thanks,
Dieter

I confirm: first one raises the same error

and second and third one works: I see
"Great, you've reached the postinstall script"

That's great! I've pushed patches to the README.win32 files in my pygobject
and pygtk windows branches on github (http://github.com/dieterv/pygobject
and http://github.com/dieterv/pygtk) documenting the need to build with
bdist_wininst --user-access-control=auto.
I'll contact John to get those patches upstream.

Also, I've removed the test builds from  
http://www.optionexplicit.be/projects/gnome-windows/20101028/ and  
uploaded fixed build for pygobject and pygtk.

Thanks for your help in hunting this down,
mvg,
Dieter

The binaries I posted yesterday where incomplete (missing constants.py
in pygobject). I've fixed that and some other stuff and posted
pygobject, pygtk and pygoocanvas installers here:
http://www.optionexplicit.be/projects/gnome-windows/20101029/

These are built from the windows branches of their respective git
repos at http://github.com/dieterv.

mvg,
Dieter

Thanks! I tested your installers and everything worked perfectly. I
didn't use the gtk bundle you mentioned, but instead used the gtk
installer provided here:
http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/Downloads

Thanks.

Manuel.
