*bump* Swivel, any thoughts on this? Should I poke you on IRC, because chances are you won't notice this topic unaided?

send him a text message

Consider it done; waiting on a response from good ol' Swivelgames.

Ok, Kerm, I am running Pythin 2.7 and have gotten the same error as swivel.

Swivel and Qazz, the problem seems to be that Python 2.x does not support ByteArray the way that 3.x does. Please upgrade your Python to the latest version (which happens to be 3.1.1 at the momennt).

Kerm, no it is 3.1.2

Ah, then they failed to update some of the text on their website. Either way, 3.x is your ticket to fixing these ByteArray problems.

I didn't want to switch over to Python 3.x just to use this, and so I took a look at why this doesn't work in 2.x.

There are two compatibility issues, it seems: one, 2.x doesn't like having floats as part of a bytearray. This is really easy to fix. Whenever there is a line like the one below that gives that error message, just call the int() function on the two arguments to convert them to integers.


Code:


Then, 2.x's bytes() function only takes one argument, so you have to get rid of the second argument whenever this code appears:


Code:


Maybe you should release a special version for people who haven't updated to 3.x?

Got your text message the other night. Sorry I didn't respond. I got on not long after, though, and meant to talk to you about this

And yeah, I believe it was because I was using Python 2.x -- I'll download Python 3.1.2 in a moment and let you know how it fits!

Great, that would be much appreciated. TC01, I'll certainly give your ideas a try, and if they work, rerelease v1.2 with the fixes.

There might be an issue with the second point. If 3.x syntax demands the second argument to bytes(), then it will cause problems on 3.x installs.

If that's the case, you could check the Python version- it's defined in sys.version- and depending on what version either run the 3.x version of the command or the 2.x version.

This was extremely helpful. Thanks, Kerm. ;D

I'm glad to hear it; what are you using BinPac8x for? If you're an ASM coder, I hope that you're making use of the Doors CS SDK. Also, you should Introduce Yourself when you get a chance.
