Does ProfitPY work on a modern distro?

[Mike]

I managed to get ProfitPY installed and it runs, but when I try
clicking on a icon/tab, I get the following errors:

2009-11-20 09:34:43,660 DEBUG Exception (debug): ImportError('No

I'm using Python v2.6, I saw in a older thread that Python 2.6 wasn't
supported yet? Is this still the case?

Thanks.

Mike,

I had a similar issue recently. I think that something went wrong
during the "make" process when converting the .ui files into .py
files.
Search through the profit directory for qwt_plot.
I think you should find something like:
from qwt_plot import blah

replace that by:
from PyQt4.Qwt5 import blah.

Let me know if that works for you.

I had to modify two files:

profit/lib/widgets/ui_plotitemdialog.py
profit/lib/widgets/ui_plot.py

After that I no longer get the error message.

Is there anyone still maintaining this project that could fix the
issue I wonder? It seems pretty dead around here.

I'll get to it, I'll get to it...

Just for the record, in order to get the Connection tab to work I also
had to edit:

profit/workbench/widgets/ui_connectionwidget.py

Then change this line:

from qwt_thermo import QwtThermo

To:

from PyQt4.Qwt5 import QwtThermo
