Active Path Plugin Error

[Beckett Simmons]

Hey all,

So getting this error that I can't seem to fix it myself. Hopefully someone here can help me out.

So I checked out the latest leo code from Github. You can see the commit hash in the below log.

Previously, I updated my settings file ~/.leo/myLeoSettings.py by uncommenting the active_path.py plugin.

I then run Leo with this command:  $ python -c "import leo; leo.run()"

I then try to drag and drop a directory into my .leo project (as the plugin recommends) and I end up getting this error.

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'leo\\plugins'

Of course the leo/plugins directory is indeed there, any idea why Windows says it can't be found?

Thanks,

​leo/plugins is a path relative the os.curdir.​

​It looks like todo.py needs to compute an absolute path. Clearly,

os.path.split(__file__)[0] is not up to the job.

Fixed -
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7116889/python-file-attribute-absolute-or-relative
apparently __file__ may or may not be absolute - must be almost always
absolute, or this would have been reported long ago, but almost always
is only almost :-}

Cheers -Terry

Yeah, I was wondering why I would be the first one coming across this bug.

But thanks for fixing that so quickly!

​Thanks Terry.  From the SO answer it appears that this mess is the result of not wanting to call getpwd() on every import. Sounds reasonable, but the result is a mess.  Not Pythonic, imo.
