Gmoccapy tool table not accepting lathe tool angles...

G'day,

Since I updated from 2.7 to 2.9 on the lathe, with the latest GMOCCAPY, I can't enter lathe tool angles anymore. 


Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,
Mark

Indeed, tracked this to Python deprecating 'locale.format()' and replacing it with 'locale.format_string()':

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/4250/changes

Note that this issue is also present in some other places (eg the offsetpage)

Since this affects python code you could patch the files locally.
I think you would find them in:
'/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gladevcp/'

You will need sudo rights to change those files.

Thanks a lot for checking and confirming that.

Is this correct ,
So for each of the files in '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gladevcp/'...
I just need to search for  'locale.format_string()' and replacing each instance back with 'locale.format()'?

No, the other way around.
Click on the link in my post above and you will see the files 'calculatorwidget.py', 'offsetpage_widget.py' and 'tooledit_widget.py'. The lines marked in red need to be replaced with the lines marked in green. You will see the line number on the left.

'pncconf.py' is also affected but that is not required for running Gmoccapy.

Thanks for your help on this.

 I was out on a business trip this week and only just got to try this. I don't have a lib/python/gladevcp folder.

I did find those files in lib/python3/dist-packages/gladevcp. Would it help to edit them there, or should I leave those versions alone and look for them somewhere else?
