Oolite Bulletins

Do not worry. The starter has a list of OXPs - after all it knows what is installed, required, conflicting etc. Does it have a list of OXPs from the last use of starter? Some of us manipulate other OXPs locally, or use the built-in manager from time-to-time. I confess I rarely use the starter to la...

This seems to work well for the Linux app switcher etc. in python 3 It doesn't have any effect with python 2.7, where the xbm fallback still shows. I used to the 'overkill' 256x256 icon, for the sheer joy of it. It also works with pyinstaller, as long as --add-binary "OoJSC256x256.png:." i...

I think I cracked the Linux icon on alt-tab etc.

It may even work with pyinstaller. I'll have a crack and report finding momentarily.

--icon works for Window & MacOS but not Linux Indeed there is no --icon option in pyinstaller on Linux. This article may be helpful there. See Kibi's answer. It describes 'normal' way to realise desktop icons for apps in most Linux DE. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75375906/can-pyinstalle...

D'oh! :oops: was the same file as before! Once more from the top: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7f5hi7jfj4zxxspzn8t3x/collect_shipdataMrFlibble.py?rlkey=muu5l5jknzpgm1tfmq9i8d50q&dl=0 Looking at the original OXZ, it's as if the directories have no timestamps. Current time is used. After puttin...

Whoops! Do I understand correctly that before starting Oolite, it is advisable to run a python script (especially if we don't know whether such a script has run since the last time OXPs were installed/uninstalled)? IF you've installed some fancy non-standard ships, IF you use telescope's 3D view an...

Directory timestamps not though. Fixed - that's what I get trusting someone else's code in the wee hours. My generated OZXs had blank timestamps on the directories. Different story with python 2.7.18. Only because you ran the 3 version first. Both had the error but you didn't have a file to delete ...

I think we are good that I try this on Github. At home I am running Ubuntu Desktop 22.04. On Github we also have Ubuntu 22.04 (I believe they strip off the desktop). Okay. I've tried this on a current Mint VM that doesn't do much dev, and a headless Deb11 that's used for very little. This bash buil...

I've got a new script just for you: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7f5hi7jfj4zxxspzn8t3x/collect_shipdataMrFlibble.py?rlkey=muu5l5jknzpgm1tfmq9i8d50q&dl=0 That worked using python3.10. All the file timestamps stayed intact bar the obvious one. Directory timestamps not though. Different story wi...

$HOME/.local/bin/pyinstaller That is the location I saw printed on the screen when executing 'pip install pyinstaller'. I checked and it is a python script with this content: I guess you didn''t make the venv and enter it successfully then. The pip installs should end up in the venv, and not leak i...

#!/bin/bash venv="$HOME/python3/pyinstaller" python3 -m venv "$venv" source "${venv}"/bin/activate pip install pyinstaller pip install twisted $HOME/.local/bin/pyinstaller --onefile DebugConsole.py --add-binary "oojsc.xbm:." --add-binary "OoJSC.ico:.&quo...

...I can't recall if the venv needs recreating after adding python packages via apt. Easy enough to delete the venv directory and redo that part. (edit) Looks like I did a pip install twisted from inside the venv on mine. I may not have needed to as the system has it already. python3-tk is certainl...

Using the system python 3.10, and not wanting to mess with my local setup by shoving things in willy-nilly with pip, I created a venv in a directory where I keep a heap of them. Activated it, and pip installed pyinstaller only in the venv. venv="$HOME/python3/pyinstaller" python3 -m venv ...

1) How many of our OXPS actually use Python? Is it just Telescope (+Telescope Options?) and the Debug Console - or are there oo dles of them? The OXP's themselves don't use python at all. Telescope uses the OXP as a convenient place to hold a python script which is an external tool to do something ...

I made a self-contained version with pyinstaller on Linux. Doddle. Should be fairly easy to churn out static versions for most OSes between us so the non-pythoners won't have to get involved. Would like to know more details on the Doddle part. Using the system python 3.10, and not wanting to mess w...
