Finally i installed python 1.52 and it works verrry fine!
Hmmm, I suppose the first thing to do is figure out whether it's the PD object that's not accepting or the python GUI that's not connecting. What I would do is create a gripd object in pd with port 23 and telnet to it. Just put "gripd 23" in pd then send it a "connect" message, then open up your telnet client and connect to 127.0.0.1. If it connects, GrIPD will say so in the console. Then send a "disconnect" message to the PD object. Your telnet client should display "!disconnect:0|" and then disconnect if all is good.
i tested this and got connection to PD, so gripd object seems to work.
To test the python part, I would go get a dummy server. You can get Tambu Dummy Server at: http://www.xploiter.com/tambu/tambudummy.shtml Set the port to 3490 and the protocal to TCP and have it start listening. Then open grip.py and connect (from the file menu). If you add a button control you should see something like "!setRcvr:rbutton0|" in the dummy server if all is good there.
I wrote simple dummy server using python and tested, but still the GUI part failes to connect, so the ploblem is in this part.
I think it must be compativility ploblem between python 1.52 and 2.1.
Anyway, it is amazing that we can build my own gui like(rather, more effectively!) reaktor.
thanks a lot!
Uta.
