[Python-apps-team] Bug#522317: spe (tools->run / dialog) python got 99% cpu

[Matthias Fulz]

Package: spe
Version: 0.8.4.h-1

Hi in spe the tools->run dialog dont works and give errors. The run in 
terminal works fine.
I found out that the problem occures cause spe is using python-wxgtk2.6 
by default here is the output i got with debugging flag:

spe --debug

SPE v0.8.4.h (c)2003-2008 www.stani.be

If spe fails to start:
 - type "python SPE.py --debug > debug.txt 2>&1" at the command prompt
   (or if you use tcsh: "python SPE.py --debug >& debug.txt")
 - send debug.txt with some info to spe.stani.be[at]gmail.com
 
Blender support disabled (run SPE inside Blender to enable).
Encrypted debugging enabled.

Spe is running in debugging mode with this configuration:
- platform  : linux2
- python    : 2.5.4
- wxPython  : 2.6.3.2
- interface : <default>
- encoding  : UTF8

the above last 4 lines are repeating and causing to push the cpu to its 
limit....

I found following solution / workaround:

in /usr/share/spe/_spe/SPE.py change the following line to:

 MIN_WX_VERSION = '2.8'

Now everything is working as it should.
Perhaps change Dependency in spe package to python-wxgtk2.8 ?

Im using Deibian 5.0 (Sid), kernel 2.6.26-1-686, libc6 2.9-6

but the error I mentioned occured also on Lenny (stable) and testing.
