After an update to dev-python/urwid-1.1.0-r1000, net-misc/wicd-1.7.2.4-r1 (with ncurses USE flag) is unable to start due to an AttributeError exception on focus.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-misc/wicd-1.7.2.4-r1 (with ncurses USE flag)
2. emerge dev-python/urwid-1.1.0-r1000
3. start dbus and wicd daemons
4. run wicd-curses
Actual Results:

I use funtoo's git tree. I honestly thought it was just a straight pull off the Gentoo rsync servers. I will fully and readily admit, I am wrong on that one. The ebuild doesn't seem to include any patches (and pulls from excess.org/urwid for the tar ball)

This being the case, I also grabbed the Gentoo ebuild, and it pulls from the same source. (I can only assume then it's the same issue for both, deper29 and SlashBeast on the forums both stated it broke their wicds and I assume they use the gentoo rsync tree.)

I see, the -r1000 was a red herring. Just the plain release of urwid-1.1.0 breaks wicd. This has happened before, urwid changes the interface on every version. I reported it on the wicd launchpad and you can follow the bug here:

Funtoo pulls in the progress-overlay for a lot of its python support which is maintained by Arfrever and uses his own 4-python EAPI so the differences between that and Gentoo can often be substantial.

I tried, it also fails with Gentoo's urwid-1.1.0.

Hello,

I committed a fix in current bzr.

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wicd-devel/wicd/experimental/revision/831

However, it would be nice if you could test it. I don't have urwid 1.1.0 (yet), so I based my patch only on current urwid's documentation/changelog.

Thanks for the report,
David

You need to install pybabel, which is a requirement since 1.7.1.

Otherwise, if you don't care about translations, just pass --no-install-i18n to setup.py.

Could you please run:

Aha, obvious.

Sorry for not noticing it before: you're running wicd from /var/tmp/wicd, but
your PYTHONPATH isn't set accordingly. As you can see in the traceback, it's
calling the .py files installed system-wide. You're effectively using the old
wicd, not the new one.

Please install it system-wide, or set PYTHONPATH accordingly.

Kindly,
David

You should have a directory like /var/tmp/wicd/usr/lib/python2.*/ populated
after the install.
Something like that should work (I can't remember whether you should include
site-/dist-packages in that path or not, sorry).

I don't see anything against new stable versions for those arches, but I also don't use them. Please test and mark stable if possible.

This is due to curses_misc.ComboBox.focus being a property descriptor, and while the property setter set_focus() is defined in curses_misc.ComboBox, the getter and deleter methods are not, and @property methods are not inherited from their parent classes.

The attached patch fixes the problem for my system.

I added it for completenes since Launchpad didn't do that
automatically as it usually does with e.g. Debian bugs when they're
mentioned in some comment.

I also added the according Debian bug despite I'm the one who fixed it
in Debian.

Hi,

Could anyone comment on whats the status of this bug.

On Slackware-14.1 with wicd-1.7.3 and urwid-1.0.1, wicd-curses seems to work correctly, but when urwid is upgraded to 1.3.0, what I get is:

In Debian and Ubuntu it's fixed with the patch at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wicd.git/tree/debian/patches/33-focus_property.patch
-- haven't looked at wicd 1.7.3 yet as Debian is currently in the
freeze for the next stable release.

This looks like a different/new issue to me, maybe caused by urwid
1.3.0.

With the patch mentioned above, 1.7.2.4 still works fine with urwid
1.2.1.

Tomka, we already had the Gentoo patch you mentioned in the Slackware tree, even with that I still get this error when editing a new network with `wicd-curses`:

So far this is the only patch that has helped:

https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/wicd/patches/curses_bitrate_fix.patch

And I have tried several!

Thanks, I think I'll also add this patch. It looks very reasonable.
Nobody ever reported anything in Gentoo, but that's probably because nobody uses wicd(-curses) anymore. It smells funny from both user and development ends.

Recently Slackware current had this bug with wicd-1.7.4 and urwid-1.3.0.

Using curses_bitrate_fix.patch did not solve this problem. (It is still used though.)

Since the only Slackware application using urwid is wicd it made sense to simply downgrade urwid to 1.0.3.

Problem solved!

And no need for the wicd-1.7.3-urwid-1.3.0.patch when building wicd.

Here is the Slackware current wicd build directory:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/slackware/slackware64-current/extra/source/wicd/

The build script is wicd.SlackBuild

This is impossible in most other distributions -- at least in Ubuntu and
Debian this is definitely not an option.
