Reorder to load from prefix before system wide (2.47 KB, patch)
2008-01-12 04:49 UTC, Thomas Andersen 		committed Details | Review

Description Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2007-02-11 12:38:27 UTC 
If gnome-sudoku is installed into some prefix, say /home/user/local it will still load old gnome-sudoku first:

try:                                                                           
    from gnome_sudoku.gnome_sudoku import start_game                           
except ImportError:                                                            
    import sys                                                                      
    if "/home/shmyrev/t/lib/python2.5/site-packages" not in sys.path:               
        sys.path.insert(0, "/home/shmyrev/t/lib/python2.5/site-packages")             
    from gnome_sudoku.gnome_sudoku import start_game

The same trouble for glchess
Comment 2 Andreas Røsdal 2007-02-15 17:00:44 UTC 
If you uninstall the old gnome-sudoku, and reinstall the latest gnome-games, do you have any problems then?  I don't see how this could be solved in another way at the moment.
Comment 3 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2007-02-15 17:30:54 UTC 
No, it's not a question of my installation, it's just a problem of your load script. Do not load system wide packages first, reorder those two calls. First of all try to load packages from prefix and only then system-wide packages.

Look into deskbar applet:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/deskbar-applet/trunk/deskbar/deskbar-applet.py?rev=962&view=markup

it does things correctly
Comment 5 Andreas Røsdal 2007-02-27 17:10:27 UTC 
Setting target to gnome 2.20.

Reorder to load from prefix before system wide

I committed the attached patch to make gnome-sudoku try to load from the prefix before looking system wide.
Comment 8 Andreas Røsdal 2008-01-12 09:03:25 UTC 
Thomas, could you please commit the same patch to glChess?
The two Python games should always have identical startup-code.
Comment 9 Andreas Røsdal 2008-01-12 10:19:00 UTC 
Fixed in glChess also now.
Comment 10 Thomas Andersen 2008-01-12 13:54:39 UTC 
Yeah, I planned to, but it was really late and glchess wouldn't build for me so I decided to postpone that till today. But I see you fixed it already. Nice :)
