Thanks a lot for your patience.  Unfortunately this is not
yet the final solution:

...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cycle", line 83, in OnCloseWindow
    Save_Cycle(cycle.name, cycle.passwd, cycle.file)
  File "/usr/share/cycle/save_load.py", line 46, in Save_Cycle
    tmp=rt.encrypt( b'Cycle'+pickle.dumps(objSave) )
  File "/usr/share/cycle/p_rotor.py", line 63, in encrypt
    return self.cryptmore(buf, 0)
  File "/usr/share/cycle/p_rotor.py", line 88, in cryptmore
    c = rotors[i][c ^ pos[i]]
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ^: 'int' and 'float'


Kind regards

       Andreas.
