Acire 0.2 Released
I am pleased to announce the second release of my little project to browse, read, run and learn from a library of Python examples. This release brings us:
- Examples now have syntax highlighting and use a better font for reading code.
- An awesome new icon designed by the ever-affable Martin Owens.
- Various bug fixes.
You can grab it from the Acire PPA by running these simple commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:acire-team/acire-releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install acire
For Acire to be in any way useful you will need to grab the Python Snippets library. Subscribe to the PPA and get a fresh batch of Python Snippets daily! Subscribe by just running these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:python-snippets-drivers/python-snippets-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-snippets
Rock and roll!
UPDATE: It turns out we had a few dependencies missing. You can fix this with:
sudo apt-get install python-gtksourceview python-gnomeprint
We will get the packaged fixed soon, but this will get you up and running. Thanks for the feedback, folks!

This looks really cool and I’d like to give it a go but I’m getting a
ImportError: No module named gtksourceview
from line 24 in /usr/bin/acire

Nice, but something wrong with dependencies. At least python-gtksourceview and python-gnomeprint needed in deps

Hello .. (and sorry for my poor english)
I think you miss some dependencies for “acire” ..
“” david@david-desktop:~$ acire Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/bin/acire”, line 24, in import gtksourceview ImportError: No module named gtksourceview “” -> sudo apt-get install python-gtksourceview
“” david@david-desktop:~$ acire Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/bin/acire”, line 24, in import gtksourceview ImportError: could not import gnomeprint
“” -> sudo apt-get install python-gnomeprint
ok , now it works fine
Thanks.

I think you’re missing some more dependencies.

Also: ImportError: No module named vte
Let me know if you ever switch to qt or create a package that knows its dependencies – I’d really like to use it, but don’t want to have a bunch of orphaned packages in the even I want to uninstall.

I have a small library of small and simple python snippets that is growing during my studies (like some math functions and data structures), maybe i submit them! I saw in your about page that you came to FISL, im from porto alegre / brasil, cool!

I know it’s a noob question, but it searched and found nothing on solving my problem:
How do I add the repositories on 9.04 (add-apt-repository is only on Karmic)
I’d love to try it out.

Thanx anyway jono. BTW isn’t there any other way (install from source) I can get this running on Jaunty? (I only have Karmic on the EEEPC and it’s a pain to code (play) there…. it’s a good divx player nonetheless)

Seems to be a nice tool, I’d like to give it a shot, but I can’t find any source download. Are there only deb packages or is it possible to get the source somewhere for those of us who don’t use Ubuntu? Thanks

Surely there was a more multi-distro-friendly way to implement this? I’m thinking of perhaps taking advantage of the Class Browser plugin for gedit? I admit it might be a “hack”, formatting the snippets in a pseudo-sourcecode file so that they’re recognised by gedit as such. In this way you could easily cut-and-paste code from one tab into another, also make use of the Python console plugin for gedit. Of course all this would be gedit-specific, but at least it wouldn’t be Ubuntu specific. Note that I don’t have anything against Ubuntu, and this is a great idea, but to get the best result I think requires encouraging input from those outside the Ubuntu community.

Thanks! I installed on Lucid Lynx, it worked right out of the box. Excellent idea, I’m going to give Acire a shout-out on my blog (www.rickwagner.blogspot.com).
Great idea, thanks for providing Acire!

Replace ‘python-gtksourceview’ with ‘python-gtksourceview2′ which is the newest package. Next time just use tab completion. so the full command is:
sudo apt-get install python-gtksourceview2 python-gnomeprint

Hi,
Is it possible to have tarballs on your launchpad project manager in order to package your software in some other distributions?
Many thanks.
