[libavg-users] RuntimeError: Error in conversion of '' to double

[Alex Harrington]

Heya

I've run in to a problem which I'm having real trouble solving. Hopefully it's something simple :D

I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty (with proposed update that fixes libavg working at all!) as follows:

alex at alex-laptop:~/xibo-python/client/python$ python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> quit()
alex at alex-laptop:~/xibo-python/client/python$ apt-cache policy python-libavg
python-libavg:
  Installed: 0.8.0-2ubuntu2.1
  Candidate: 0.8.0-2ubuntu2.1

I've got some code I was running under Ubuntu Intrepid (libavg 0.7.0-9ubuntu1) but no longer works:

region1 = self.p.createNode('<div id="region" x="30" y="30" width="300" height="30"><words id="text1" x="" y="" font="arial" text="Layout ID 1" /></div>')

where self.p is an instance of Player.

When I execute that, I get "RuntimeError: Error in conversion of '' to double".

Did the API change?

If you need to see the code in context, it's available here:

Cheers
