Dialogs in python hang XBMC

[tharvey]

greetings,

i am unable to get simple dialogs to work via python scripting. can anyone verify if this seems to be a problem with my setup or if it works for them, please let me know what cvs version of xbmc your using and what ver of python.rar your using (or where it came from).

i'm not really sure i understand if this is a problem with xbmc or python.rar. apparently this problem was supposed to have been fixed on 5/7 however i haven't been able to get any recent cvs versions to work with this script. i've also been told that cvs 4/27 works, but unfortunately the closest i have to that date is 4/23 and it doesn't work for me.

here is the simple script:

import traceback, xbmcgui

dlg = xbmcgui.dialog()
dlg.ok( "info", "hello world" )
del dlg

executing this causes xbmc to 'hang'.

that cvs does work, first, an obvious one, have you unzipped python.rar in to the directory? (seriously, some people don't realise that)

my bad... i didn't realize i wasn't updating xbmc correctly. i wish the 'about xbmc' had a date code embedded in it... that would have made me realize a long time ago that i wasn't running the version i thought i was

i failed to rename default.xbe in c:\ as my modchip requires.

sorry for the false accusations.
