Feedback on Tyrs

[chaica]

Hi,

Testing Tyrs on Debian Wheezy (64bit) : 

- setup.py requires setuptools. Adding a test trying to import setuptools and printing an error message if missing should resolve this issue.

- you're using argparse module, so your code is not compatible with python < 2.7. This module has been backported for python 2.5 and 2.6. You also should test that in setup.py.

- I've got a really ugly printing in my terminal (gnome-shell), see http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836/tyrs.png/ for a screenshot. No input is accepted.

Bye,

Carl Chenet

Hi,

I made a mistake in my previous email, I'm not using gnome-shell but gnome terminal.

Bye,

Hi Carl,

First, thank you for your valuable feedbacks, I appreciate it.

I done the test on the import, and I update the doc as well.

Thanks for this tip, and you are absolutly right, so I fixed it as
well.

This one is more tricky, I'me not sure the commit will fixed it.

The idea is, I called a curses.wrapper probably to early, almost at the
start. I delayed it, and call only after the configuration part (and
the input entry when identica/twitter service is asked). So it might do
it, as it will be no curses called before that.

I'll try some installation on VirtualBox of Debian and gnome-shell, to
make sure it solved this problem in the next few days.
I'm doing lots of cleaning, so the git repository may be more unstable
than the release.

Thanks again for your feedbacks,
Nicolas Paris.
