Hello,

I'm trying to run Faces (a project management application implemented in 
Python using wxPython for the GUI, see http://faces.homeip.net/) on my Mac 
(G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.6), but so far it won't work.

Here's the traceback I get:

Here is what I did:

- Installed Python from 
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/Universal-MacPython-2.4.3-2006-04-
07.dmg
- Installed Numeric from 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/numpy/Numeric-24.2.tar.gz?download
- Installed Matplotlib from 
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/mpkg/matplotlib-0.87.2-py2.4-
macosx10.4.mpkg.zip
- Installed wxPython from 
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/wxPython2.6-osx-unicode-2.6.3.2rc2-
universal10.4-py2.4.dmg
- Installed Cheetah from 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cheetahtemplate/Cheetah-
1.0.tar.gz?download
- Installed Faces from 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/faces-project/faces-pm-
0.8.2.tar.gz?download
- Renamed bin/faces to faces.py and opened it with PythonLauncher.app

BTW: The wxpython and matplotlib demos work fine.

What did I wrong?

TIA for any help,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang Keller

The Faces code uses the fancytext module in a way that exposes a bug. 
I'll make a fix for fancytext, but in the meantime you can probably just 
comment out the call to show_splash in the Faces code and it will 
probably work fine.  It just won't show the splash screen at startup.

Done.

Looks like they are trying to insert an item into a sizer at a position 
that is larger than the number of items already in the sizer.  Please 
take this up with the Faces developers as it's their bug.
