Bug#604056: Acknowledgement (pyracerz dies immediately with a stacktrace on launch)

[hikaru.debian at web.de]

Hi,

 I can confirm this bug on Squeeze amd64.

> Run this in a terminal in bash:
> 
> for f in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/misc/* ; do if [ -L $f ] ; then
> dpkg -S `readlink $f` ; fi ; done

hikaru at squeeze820qm:~$ for f in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/misc/* ; do if [ -L $f ] ; then
> dpkg -S `readlink $f` ; fi ; done
python-coherence: /usr/share/pyshared/misc/media_server_observer.py
python-coherence: /usr/share/pyshared/misc/upnp-tester.py

> Could you also run python again and do this?

hikaru at squeeze820qm:~$ python

I'm certainly no python expert but it seems to me like the whole misc object in /usr/games/pyracerz isn't initialized when this bug occures. The original error message complains about some zoom attribute. I had a look at the code and found the usage which says something about a resolution parameter. I applied this and got the following:

hikaru at squeeze820qm:~$ pyracerz --resolution 640x480
/usr/share/games/pyracerz/modules/menu.py:27: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
 import sha
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/games/pyracerz", line 280, in <module>
 if __name__ == '__main__': main()
 File "/usr/games/pyracerz", line 106, in main
 pygame.display.set_caption("pyRacerz v" + misc.VERSION)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VERSION' 

So I had a look for misc.VERSION, found it in line 106 which is just some caption, deactivated that line, tried again and got this:

hikaru at squeeze820qm:~$ pyracerz --resolution 640x480
/usr/share/games/pyracerz/modules/menu.py:27: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
 import sha
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/games/pyracerz", line 280, in <module>
 if __name__ == '__main__': main()
 File "/usr/games/pyracerz", line 109, in main
 if misc.music == 1:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'music'

misc.music can be found in line 109 and I'm pretty sure this game could be played endlessly since these errors are all just consequences of some deeper problem.

regards
hikaru
