Hi James, *,
To work around a bug in python-gnome for the Debian package I applied the
attached patch. You might want to include that in your version or write
a real fix (this is more like a work around).
Problem is, that python can't handle locales very well. From the Debian
report:
--- cut here -----
Maths behave strangely after importing * from gtk :
>>> from math import sqrt, exp
>>> 4*exp(-.5)/sqrt(2.0)
1.71552776992
>>> from gtk import *
>>> 4*exp(-.5)/sqrt(2.0)
2,82842712475
---------------
This was tracked down to the locale initialization in gtk_init. For more
information have a look at
http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=yes&bug=59713
Patch is attached.
Thanks
Torsten
