Failing to start with python 3.10 about easyabc

[bomm]

I got it working on Ubuntu 22.04.1 by using a modified newer version of fluidsynth stuff and several manual fixes. See #63 and maybe the wxWidgets issue referenced there. @topchyan What version exactly means newest Linux Mint / Ubuntu releases?

Sounds like you've solved it. I really need to get EasyABC going again but I'm not a computer-techie and don't know how to go about what you have written. Could you give simple step-by-step instructions? Thanks.

@raychandler If you are able run it with an earlier version of python that would be ideal as there are some other errors related to 3.10 that I haven't really looked into. How you do that will largely depend on your current setup so I'm not sure I can provide a step by step.

I saw you made a comment on source forge and you are using Manjaro Linux, maybe see if you can get the package maintainer to update the package to use an earlier version of python https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/easyabc/

If you don't want to wait you can try cloning this repository and running the application in a virtual environment using an earlier version of python. https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#installing-from-version-control-systems

Since I like to use EasyABC, but it fails to run on newest Linux Mint / Ubuntu releases due to that pyparsing library issues I stick to the old versions of OS where it does work. Not ideal, hope it will get resolved sometime soon.

I tried it on Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon 64 bit

This hacked up version in a fork works for me on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

@robertmuth, thanks for this!
I only wish it would eventually be addressed in the master build (@jwdj)
For now will probably stay on the older version of OS.

Even when replacing pyparsing.py I get an error similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37502112/typeerror-gridsizer-arguments-did-not-match-any-overloaded-call which makes the settings dialogs to squash all content into a single line. It doesn't crash things but settings aren't usable.

I just changed my OS from Linux Mint to the latest version of MX Linux and managed somehow to install EasyABC stock version without issues (just had to reference soundfont location in options)
