[not running] PyPn won't run with PN 2.0.9.806

Hello!
Because it is my first posting here, I'd like to thank the programmer for developing such a useful editor. It's one of the best I've ever seen because it has all the small little features which I miss in all other editors. It's not overcrowded, yet has many options. Thanks a lot and keep working on it! :)

So now to my question. I'm using PN 2.0.9.806-devel because this version has correct handling of Home/End keys and of UTF-8 encoded files. While looking around in this forum I discovered PyPn as a wonderful method of extending editor functions with Scripts (I'd like to try auto indent scripts). But unfortunately it won't work in my editor.
The use of PyPn 0.9.794 for Python 2.5 crashes PN so it won't start up. Using 0.8.717 doesn't crash but I don't have any scripts visible in script list (Alt-F10). Maybe it's working though and I just have no scripts (but there are some in scripts folder)...?

Using stable version of PN (2.0.7.?) won't work with PyPN 0.8 (crashing at startup) but doesn't show any scripts when using PyPN 0.9. It's the same problem, only the other way round compared with PN 2.0.9.806...

Which combination of PN and PyPN should I use? I'm using WinXP SP2 and Python 2.5.2. Other Python tools run properly.

Thanks for help,
rc

Any hints which combinations of PN and PyPN properly work together? At least Simon should know ...

The PyPN 0.9 release should work fine with the 0.9 builds of PN. The current stable release of PN (0.8) should work fine with the stable 0.8 release of PyPN. You shouldn't mix these. When PN crashes does it save a dump?

Sorry for the late answer. :(
I just checked again using PNotepad 2.0.9.806 and the latest PyPN 0.9 for Python 2.5. It crashed and created a dump file, which I uploaded here: http://rapidshare.com/files/133074511/PN2_2.0.9.806.dmp (I hope, Rapidshare is ok for you?)

The config.xml contains the following text after executing "pn --findexts":
<config><extension path="taggers/ctagsnavigator.dll"></extension><extension path="Taggers\ctagsnavigator.dll"></extension><extension path="pypn.dll"></extension></config>

Sorry about this, and thanks for trying again. I'll take a look at the dump file this evening and try and get to the bottom of this.

Hello!
Any success yet? I mean it's not immediate for me having this functionality. At the moment PNotepad does its job fine. :) But as there is a mighty plugin system I'm curious and want to try it.

Hello!

I just installed the latest development version 2.0.9-853-devel, trying to use PyPn 0.9.853 for Python 2.5. I have installed Python 2.5.2 on my system. The same error as described above still occurs. PNotepad won't start when PyPN extension is registered in config.xml.

I have uploaded the dump file on my personal webspace here:
http://home.arcor.de/sagem-x-5/pn/PN2_2.0.9.853.dmp

Will it help posting my configuration of PNotepad? Maybe there is something wrong. I will try installing again in a fresh profile, could help... I'm a bit disappointed because I can't use PyPN for months. :(

Hello again!

I removed all user settings from PNotepad and reinstalled it (runs fine). Then I registered PyPN. Without any extra changes to the configuration I get the same error message again: "Programmer's Notepad 2 has experienced an unexpected problem and is going to close, we apologise for this inconvenience."

The dump file is available at the same address posted above. I also uploaded my settings folder here:
http://home.arcor.de/sagem-x-5/pn/settings.7z

Please help me, I still can't use PyPN.

Hi, sorry to hear it's still not working :(

I just had a look at the dump file and the failure is happening just after we initialize python (the very first time I try to do something with it).

Could you please let me know the following:

1. Path that you have installed python in?

It may be that if you have installed python in somewhere other than the default location (e.g. a path with spaces, or unicode characters) that this might be causing problems.

2. Does Python 2.6 with the 2.6 version of PyPN work (if you can try)?

I'll have a look and see if there's anything else I can find out about this type of problem, I've not seen it before.

Also, are there any extra copies of Python25.dll on your system, or only the main installed one?

... sorry for the late answer. It seems that this forum needs an e-mail notification for I can't check all my used forums every day for new answers. :(

To your checking questions:
1. I have installed Python in "D:\Sprachen\Python25", so it's not a standard path, but all are ascii chars.
2. I will test Python 2.6 ...
3. Hm there's at one in c:\windows\system32, which is the first to be found in PATH. There's another one used by TortoiseHg (version control system), the folder is also in PATH but after the system folder. I'll check this. [...] no, removing the folder from PATH didn't help.

I have seen at least one case of TortoiseHg causing PyPN to fail. I think they use a non-standard build of python and because it's always loaded (the shell extension gets loaded into the PN process) we end up seeing their version of the dll. I haven't found a way to resolve this yet.

Also: Yes, I'm looking into mail notification.

Good news!
I switched Python from 2.5.2 to 2.6, now everything works fine, especially PNotepad und PyPN. :) Since no other application is bothered by this I'll leave it so.

Thanks for the help. :-)
