Hi chun, remembering a conversation with Ben, the Pixeltango scripts don't seem to be well-tested with newer (starting with 2.0) py/pyext versions. In these, a Symbol type has been introduced corresponding to the PD symbol type, for increased performance. It needs to be converted into string (using str() ), before actual string operations can be performed. I think this is missing in Pixeltango.

best, Thomas

ok, i have changed line 23 of pt.py to:

entries=glob.glob(os.path.join(str(path),str(pattern)))

the errors are gone.

cheers

2. flext 0.5.1
3. pixelTANGO CVS-Snapshot, dowloaded just now

upon loading the example patch of pixeltango. i got:

i think this is the same errors i got from installing flext/py/pixeltango on pure:dyne in piksel. anyideas how the errors can be fixed?

ok, i have changed line 23 of pt.py to:

entries=glob.glob(os.path.join(str(path),str(pattern)))

the errors are gone.

i also changed line 14 to:

return os.path.splitext(str(arg))[0]

and line 35 to:

return os.path.basename(str(arg))

to get rid of further errors. i think it works, but i have to say that these are blind guesses as i don't know python...

you guessed right. before pyext 0.2 symbols were automatically converted to strings. since 0.2 they're converted to a special symbol type, which leads to incompatibilities between <0.2 and >=0.2. a bit cleaner way to fix that problems was to convert symbols to strings directly in the first line of function/inlet definitions.
