Need a little help

[Fry2412]

Hey SavinaRoja,

I did Install the newest Xlib, but everytime i'll start the Script is this the answer:

==>>

File "UART.py", line 8, in
from pykeyboard import PyKeyboard
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pykeyboard/init.py", line 37, in
from .x11 import PyKeyboard, PyKeyboardEvent
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pykeyboard/x11.py", line 192
self.keypad_keys = {k: self.lookup_character_keycode('KP_'+str(k)) for k in keypad}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

<<==

I really need your Help.

Thank You

You are using python 2.6 which doesn't have support for generator
expressions for dicts. Upgrade to python 2.7 and you're good to go.

Well, but when I do use Python2.6 then i have Problems with the Xlib, 'Cause Xlib is only working with Python until V.2.6.

But also i have forgotten to say that i am using a Raspberry Pi Build B (512MB)

I'm not familiar with the code but a solution might be that you edit that file (and others that might have the same kind of expressions) like this:

# self.keypad_keys = {k: self.lookup_character_keycode('KP_'+str(k)) for k in keypad}
# becomes:

self.keypad_keys = {}
for k in keypad:
    self.keypad_keys[k] = self.lookup_character_keycode('KP_'+str(k))

This small refactoring solves the problem.

@Fry2412 this is the current version of Python-Xlib http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-xlib/files/python-xlib/0.15rc1/ and you can easily install it with pip install http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-xlib/files/python-xlib/0.15rc1/python-xlib-0.15rc1.tar.gz/download. It works with Python2.7.

On another note, active development of PyKeyboard occurs mostly in PyUserInput, you may be interested in switching to using that version.
