No MIDI support in RacyPy 4_1

So I'm evaluating RacyPy for teaching purposes. I'm testing it with code from Invent Your Own Computer Game with Python 2nd Edition. On trying the spritesAndSounds.py sample code, I got the following:

Code: Select all

# python3 spritesAndSounds.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spritesAndSounds.py", line 39, in <module>
    pygame.mixer.music.load('background.mid')
pygame.error: /etc/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory
Being a Puppy novice, I wasn't sure how to fix this. After searching these forums, I found this post http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 704#711451 and installed the packages which resolved the problem.

Any chance of a respin of the publet with the Timidity dependency included? Alternatively, what's the preferred way of installing Timidity + soundfonts?

trying out warypy2

#62 Post by foxpup »

I have installed WaryPy2.

It looks very promising for programming purposes and to learn programming.

Do I understand correctly it is equiped for java programming?
Should I load the devx.sfs all the time if I want to program? And is it the regular devx_wary_5.3.sfs from wary5.3 I need or is there another one?
Has there been made a salukipy, by the way?

I made a few projects in Scratch1.4.
Looks allright except for the instruments. All instruments are the same dull sound. I searched around and must have something to do with MIDI. But I do not know how to fix it. The packages referred to in the previous post do not solve the problem for me. Or should I do something more then just installing the 2 packages, timidity and eawpatches?
I installed Scratch 2 as well. There the instrument do work. But Scratch 2 is quite different from Scratch 1.4.

I also tried 'Hello world' in Python. It works in Python 2.7.2, but not in 3.1.4. (screenshot)
Python 3.1.4 seems not to find Tkinter. I do not understand why.

(I hope this topic comes back to life.)

I'm sure this is too late to be of any use, but for the record...
The problem is that the module that is named "Tkinter" in Python 2.x is named "tkinter" in Python 3. The first letter is now lowercase.

Thanks 6502coder!
I moved to another computer and it's been a long time now I did something in python (or scratch or wary). But I probably will in due time and then warypy will be the first thing I will turn to. So thank you ;-)
