[Bug 377044] Re: SPE fails to run any scripts after upgrade to jaunty

[stani]

** Description changed:

+ SRU request (can be started after patch is released for Karmic):
+ 1) When both python-wxgtk2.6 and python-wxgtk2.8 are installed, Jaunty uses python-wxgtk2.6 by default, while Intrepid used python-wxgtk2.8 by default. The current version of spe (0.8.4.h-1) only works properly with python-wxgtk2.8 SPE will start, but will fail to run any script. This is a severe regression as it makes SPE partly unusable since Jaunty.
+ 
+ 2) Therefore I (stani) propose a fix, which changes two lines:
+ - _spe/SPE.py: it forces spe to select python-wxgtk2.6
+ - debian/control: it changes the dependency to python-wxgtk2.8 only, instead of  python-wxgtk2.6 or python-wxgtk2.8
+ This fix has been already prepared for the current development branch (karmic). Version prepared is 0.8.4.h-1ubuntu1 and the debdiff used can be found at this link:
+ http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27096263/spe_0.8.4.h-1ubuntu1.debdiff
+ 
+ 3) A debdiff (0.8.4.h-1ubuntu0.9.04) for jaunty-proposed has been already prepared and can be found at
+ http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27096386/spe_0.8.4.h-1ubuntu0.9.04.debdiff
+ 
+ 4) TEST CASE: to reproduce the bug, just follow this small steps:
+ 4.a install spe: sudo apt-get install spe
+ 4.b type "hello world" as a new script and save the script
+ 4.c run the script (Ctrl+R)
+ 4.d the execution of the script will be blocked, the statusbar will display "running script" for ever and "hello world" won't get printed
+ 
+ Original bug report:
  Binary package hint: spe
  
  distro: (X)ubuntu 9.04 jaunty jackalope upgraded from hardy heron
  
  spe loads just fine,  as far as i can tell pychecker works, all editing
  features seem to work, just spe won't run any scripts.  I've even
  written a short "print 'hello world'" script and nothing.  i get the bar
  saying that it's running the script but no output and sign that the
  script has finished.
  
  the only error that it puts out is:
  Exception TypeError: "'NoneType' object is not callable" in <wx.lib.pubsub._NodeCallback instance at 0xa6363cc> ignored
  
  which has been there since hardy heron.
