Upgrade ubuntu wikidpad stops working

[Tim Uckun]

Hey Guys.

I upgraded to 11.10 and it caused havoc with wikidpad. I suspect it
may be due to an update of python or one of it's libs. Here is the
trace.

do you have wx installed?

try to import wx from the python shell.

I have 10.10 and it is working fine.

It seems you are using WikidPad 1.9 (or even older). The problem is caused by an
update of the Sqlite library.

You can either update to WikidPad 2.0 (or newer) or you can try to replace
"lib/pwiki/SqliteThin3.py" in your WikidPad installation directory by the
version attached to this post (this should work but I haven't tested it).
