Edoc. Sorry. I dont know anything about what that module does and why it is not imported. You would need Python expert for helping more. I am not.

I sure appreciate your efforts - your knowledge and productivity are amazing!

I will share what we have done on other forums and learn how to complete this - then I will post what I learn.

Thanks again!

I am new to puppy world. This puppy is excellent. Any clues where can I get Wine for this Dpup? I need to run some Windows apps. A newer version will be better.

[pemasu]

I think that people have had success with Wine versions from this thread:

Hi spandey,

pemasu referred you to the latest wine version compiled by green_dome, to wit: 1.5.1.3. green_dome does great work. So you should not have any problem, However, if you didn't already know, wine devs use a naming convention: even numbers in the second position for their stable builds, odd numbers for their development builds. By now, wine is fully matured software and I doubt that anything radical is being done in development. But I don't know. Nor do I know what windows programs you desire to run. Personally, I use 1.4.1 --the stable build-- available here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=635994#635994.
If you plan on using portable xp programs, you should be aware that it is not necessary that they be installed to your wine folder. My experience has been that when you click a portable's setup file you'll be asked where you want to install it. Previous to clicking the setup file I create a folder in /mnt/home and choose that folder. [Sometime installation creates its own folder, If so, I just move it out of the folder I created].By keeping the program out of .wine/drive_c/...,, the program never uses any space in your SaveFile. It also enables you avoid having to "re-install" it if you change or add Puppys. To run the program, you can drag&drop its executable onto your desktop (and give it an icon) or if you're really ambitious, create a menu entry by (1) using a script in /my-applications/bin; (2) adding an icon.png and (3) tying both together with a desktop file in /usr/share/applications. Following is the script I use to add foxitreader. I named the script foxit. See the exec line in the following desktop file.:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
wine /mnt/home/Foxit/FoxitReaderPortable.exe
To create a script, just Right-Click an empty space, select new>script and give it a name. The following is my foxitreader desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Foxit Reader
Icon=/root/my-applications/bin/Foxit_32.png
Comment=FoxitReader Portable
Exec=/root/my-applications/bin/foxit
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=X-DocumentUtility
GenericName=Foxit Reader

Happy computing,

Dpup Expimo 5.X.3.4.11 has been released. Latest woof2 has been used.

Updated applications. Gtk-youtube-viewer, Firefox, Movgrab, Pmusic, Pburn, Getflash, Gnome-mplayer, Gecko-mediaplayer, Mplayer, PupControl. PupRadio/PupTelly, Mhwaveedit, MtPaint, Sys-Info.
Mplayer has possible bluray support now.

New applications. Multimedia section: Pavrecord ( it has webcam recording and screencast properties also ), Precord. Internet section: Pfetch. Network section: Peasy port LAN scanner, Premote rdesktop, YASM samba share app ( alternative for Pnethood ). Setup section: LazY FreD universal repository downloader ( easy way to test different sfs apps, to see if they work ). Use at your own responsibility from other Puplet repos. Graphic section: Screeny added for screenshots.

Some script updates, sfs2pet Rox right click added, rar extraction right click updated, etc....

Mostly this build was created to offer uptodate puplet. Youtube has changed the url handling or something and all youtube apps needed updating. At the same time I compiled mplayer backend and gui frontend updates...so it was time to throw this puplet for community testing. Probably I will need to fix the bugs and then release bug fix release soon.....But lets see....

Hi Pemasu,

[pemasu]

Charlie6. I didnt include your xorgwizard fix for troublesome intel graphics. But I am sure you know how to fix it.
Dpup Exprimo 5.X.16 comes after people have reported the usability of this version and the bugs have been fixed.

[James C]

As usual, downloading.......

I did a manual frugal install to a 1tb usb 3.0 external hard drive.

I exited to the prompt and ran xorgwizard,chose the intel driver, but
xwin wouldn't get me back to the desktop.
I reran xorgwizard and chose vesa and that worked.

You mention sfs files for other puplets, I have mc-4.8.1.5-i686.sfs
and xfe-1.33-i686.sfs that I made in racy and they both seem to be
working fine.

Exprimo is running about 5-6 degrees cooler than slacko on this pc
according to the tempicon.

I will test some more.

Just replaced 5x3410 with 5x3411

EDIT: Tested on a Samsung NB30 Netbook.

Looks great, seems stable, lots of neat new apps - including more for finding and accessing resources on the network (Samba shares, etc).

LibreOffice looks good, loaded Seamonkey, it looked good.

Cbrcomicreader is new and opens but there was no indication of a way to select the document to be read.

Fresh manual frugal install on the old reliable Athlon XP box...... no problems so far.
