developement version does not install

[Grimsqueaker]

I have the svn code and have tried to install Listen from it, but it does not seem to work. First my /usr/bin/listen file had incorrect values in it, I corrected these according to your FAQ. Then i saw that the folders in dists.py were incorrect and corrected them as well. Then I got import errors regarding trying to import helper in monitor.py. I changed the line "from helper import helper" to "import helper" and then got another import error (below):

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/listen/listen", line 81, in <module>

from vfs.monitor import FileMonitor?

File "/usr/lib/listen/vfs/monitor.py", line 32, in <module>

from library import ListenDB

Im going back to the version in Ubuntu's repos for now, it works. Ill try again when its been fixed.

btw I love Listen, it is defintely the best player for me.

Are you sure you used the lasted svn ? What is your revision number ?

[Grimsqueaker]

Sorry, I didnt change the version on the ticket, I am using 0.5.99-1 which seems to be the latest.

I have also noticed that there is a library.py and a library folder (containing init.py) on the same level. Doesnt that confuse the namespaces?

I have tried installing 0.5 from the Ubuntu repos again, it also doesnt work now :(

I tried getting the svn code again, both devel and release versions dont work :( Could it be my dependancies? Its not complaining about those any more when I try to run Listen.

Also some of the names in your list of translators in const.py were giving the following error:

SyntaxError?: Non-ASCII character '\xc2' in file /usr/lib/listen/const.py on line 130, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

OK I tried svn of the tags/0.5x/0.5 and I got a bit further, after fixing the UTF-8 encoding Listen almost starts, but I get the following error:

OK, I removed the trailing slash from "/org/gnome/listen/", now I get this:
