Cannot get Gogh to run under 8.04

[sjones411]

Howdy, I absolutely love the drawing program Gogh ( http://www.goghproject.com/ ). I used to use it a ton on my old Tablet PC running 7.10. However, I upgraded to a newer Tablet PC, and it is running 8.04. I cannot seem to get Gogh to start now. I rely heavily on this program and was hoping someone could share some insights.

Here's the code I get when I launch it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gogh", line 31, in <module>
    from goghmain import GoghWindow
  File "/home/stu/Gogh-0.1.2.1/goghmain.py", line 35, in <module>
    from brushmanager import BrushManager
  File "/home/stu/Gogh-0.1.2.1/brushmanager.py", line 30, in <module>
    from settingmanager import *
  File "/home/stu/Gogh-0.1.2.1/settingmanager.py", line 27, in <module>
    import xml.dom.ext
ImportError: No module named ext

Thanks in advance!

No one else has come across this problem? I'd really like to get Gogh running again, it's a great piece of software.

Some quick googling turned up this: http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/ubun...xml-error.html

I dunno if this will help since I haven't updated to 8.04 myself, yet.

I found a solution! Whoo! There was indeed a problem in the Python XML code in Gogh. To fix it, open up settingsmanager.py. First, you'll want to comment out the line:

import xml.dom.ext

By adding a # sign in front of it. Next, you need to go to the lines that read:

f = open(path, "w")
xml.dom.ext.PrettyPrint(doc, f)
f.close()

And then change it to read:

f = open(path, "w")
f.write(doc.toxml())
f.close()

That's all. ^_^; Enjoy your tablet drawing once more.
