Note: setup.py file is missing from the source distribution 0.5.9. Please get it here: setup.py. You need to put it in the same dir with tobu.py and run python setup.py install as root.
Note: There is an issue with use of uppercase unicode characters in tags. This will be fixed in the next version.
| Windows Installer | Tobu 0.5.9 windows installer |
| Source Distribution (Linux or Windows) | Tobu 0.5.9 tarball |
For Win2000 you need this file: gdiplus.dll (Requires IE to download).
- Additional Needed Packages When Using Source Distribution -
| Python Interpreter (2.4+) | get Python |
| WxPython package (2.8+, 2.6 does NOT work!) | get WxPython |
| PySqlite package (2.5+) | get PySqlite |
Note: if you get an error saying "AttributeError: 'Font' object has no attribute 'FaceName'", it means you're using wxPython 2.6 - you need v2.8 to get rid of this error.
You can get older versions of Tobu here: Archive page
Linux Notes:
'Open' button in Linux only works for url shortcuts, not for filenames, because the standard python function startfile() is only available in Windows.
To install Tobu on Linux, unarchive the file and run python setup.py install as root; run tobu.py from terminal or make a desktop shortcut.
