Re: how to convert VB scripts to Gnumeric python

[dm-gnome mercuryresearch com]

OK, I've updated from github (I installed goffice and gnumeric) and I'm 
getting a crash on my application's file IO:

** (pubrep:23096): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: 
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-E0H2kRCBCm: Connection refused
shell to uri
workbook view from uri

** (pubrep:23096): CRITICAL **: go_doc_init_read: assertion 
'doc->priv->imagebuf == NULL' failed
Segmentation fault

This appears to be happening on the line

s_wbv=Gnm.WorkbookView.new_from_uri(s_uri, None, io, None)

Which is the actual workbook file open read. Though this may just be me 
(perhaps I need to update other libraries?)

This worked on goffice-0.10.32 with the patches I'd used on gnumeric. So 
we'll need to sort out what changed.
