SPE Python IDE 0.8.2.a improved for Ubuntu!

[stani]

News from http://pythonide.stani.be

This is an important a bugfix release for all platforms. Be sure to grab it when it comes out!! It has a new feature to customize your fonts and colors (styles).

Thanks to Marco Ferreira there will be very soon a debian package to install SPE easily and create an entry in the start menu on debian based linux distro's such as Ubuntu. I'm also in contact with Matthias Klose to make an updated SPE available with the Ubuntu Dapper Drake release.

:**New features**:

- Configurable style editor for fonts and colors (Idle, ...)
- Inspect interactively after running script in terminal
- Debian installer for Ubuntu, etc... by Marco Ferreira

:**Fixes**:

- dot bug after ')'
- prevent unsplitting by double clicking sidebar sash
- tar.gz archive shrinked to 65% of its original size (only 833kb!)
- Linux: fix for the Browser (tested on Ubuntu)
- Linux: added firefox to webbrowser list and is default browser if present
- Linux: run in terminal for konsole and gnome-terminal
- Linux: sidebar fits better around it contents
- Mac: sash is enlarged to 6 pixels
- Mac: new feature: browser in sidebar (for wxPython 2.6.2+)
- Linux & Mac: a lot of visual glitches are fixed
- Windows: SPE shortcut in Windows start menu works again
- Windows: Run in terminal input
- Windows: NotebookCtrl fixed


:**Manual**:

- Installation: added section for Ubuntu and Debian systems.
- Tutorial: the SPE tutorial has been completely rewritten by Dimitri to be up to date with the latest version (review and leave your comments at http://www.serpia.org/spe ...)
- global revision

:**Donations**:

:**Donations**:

- Harry Miktarian (16.10 euro)
- Amit Antebi (10 euro)
- Steven Hepple (10 euro)

Each of these donators can request the manual.

This is exciting news.

I'm just about to begin coding under linux, and from the reviews SPE is good stuff.

Do you have an estimate of how long the deb will take ? I'm not sure whether to jump in now or hold off for a few days.


cheers,
Rich

Marco is packaging it and I expect that he can do it any moment. So probably not for a few days...

How to use this new version of Stani ?

Is there a Ubuntu Build. I downloaded the .deb file and tried to install using

dpkg -i FileName.deb


and I got the following error
(Reading database ... 143454 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking python2.4-spe (from SPE_0.8.2.a-wx2.6.1.0-py2.4.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing SPE_0.8.2.a-wx2.6.1.0-py2.4.deb (--install):

Krypto, I don't know where Stani warned about that, but you have to remove that older version of SPE.
That older 'spe' was replaced with 'python2.X-spe', so for you to get the recent version on the roll, please do this:

dpkg -r spe
dpkg -i SPE_0.8.2.a-wx2.6.1.0-py2.4.deb

It'll all be already hopefully.

Looks like my bugreport stating that SPE was an old version was fixed just a few days too soon (it's 0.8.1.d now in dapper) :rolleyes:
