Re: [Tracker] tracker deskbar applet

Ok, I found the problem. The 'path' generating the error was the path to the deskbar-tracker-.0.5.py file. It seems that either pydoc or ModuleLoader.py choke on files that have multiple extensions. Renaming the handler to 
deskbar-tracker.py solved the problem. 

I'm not sure who the author of the handler is, since there is no credit in the file, but many thanks! 

A little request though, if I may: It only displays the first six results. That's a nice feature, but I would recommend that it also have an option to open the tracker gui and show all the search results. I believe that would make it more useful, as you're often not going to find what you're looking for in the first six results.

Well, that would be really wierd, but it seems like that is the case... Can you try and run

python -c "import os.path"

from the command line? If it prints nothing in the terminal that means it works. If it prints some error try:

I tried that and it gives no error. (Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had already tried that successfully inside the python intepreter.)

In looking at the code of the other handlers I have installed, there is one ( deskbar-man.py) that also loads os.path, and that works fine. I tried adding 'import os' before before the line 'import os.path' to the python script, but that didn't help.

In any case, I'm pretty sure it's something else, because if I just run the deskbar-tracker-0.5.py on its own (from the command line with python), I get no error. Rather it outputs my Data Dir and my Handlers Dir (both of which are correct).

I don't know python at all, but in looking more closely at the error message originally generated by deskbar-applet, I wonder if the problem is that ModuleLoader.py is not passing the correct parameters to pydoc. Because pydoc is generating an error on the following line: raise ErrorDuringImport(path, sys.exc_info())  Would that be the 'path' that is not correctly loading?
