"Cannot find the pagebotosx module"

Cannot find the pagebotosx module.
Using Flat instead of DrawBot.

>>> pagebot.__version__
'0.9.9-alpha'

Hi, do you have the correct drawbot installed?

pip install git+https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot.git#egg=drawbot

(pip3 if python 2 is your default)

[simoncozens]

I may have missed that it the instructions - where does it say I need to do that?

[simoncozens]

OK, getting further now:

    self.context.setSize(self.w, self.h)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setSize'

I'll try installing pagebot from github master.

It should be done automatically since it's in requirements.txt (needs some more testing apparently).

Now I need to install pysketch (but not the module with the same name on pypi). And also install pagebotosx from github master. Now I can run E00_HelloWorld.py, but I get:

    st.tracking(tracking/10) # Flat tracking if %, BabelString is 1/1000em
AttributeError: 'strike' object has no attribute 'tracking'

From the look of it it's trying to run the Flat context instead of DrawBot, which should also give decent output. However, we're still working towards a pull request for tracking in Flat, so in the meantime you need to install our fork:

https://github.com/PageBot/flat

OK, getting somewhere now! Strange output but at least some output. Thanks!

[michielkauwatjoe]

@simoncozens yes the output quality may vary, I'm still debugging many of the examples. We've done some restructuring of the string representation (BabelString) to synchronize DrawBot (OSX) and Flat (OSX + Linux) support. Most of the examples used to be DrawBot only, we're now expanding them to give the correct results for both contexts. They should be stable in a couple of weeks hopefully.

[simoncozens]

Cool. I hope this goes well, but to be honest after this start, I've now given up and already got what I wanted to do working in another tool. Leaving this issue open as there's still some problem with installing all the dependencies.

[michielkauwatjoe]

Okay, thank you for your input!
