  Oh, it works that way.

  The 'pyvon' script seems to start "python res.py" instead, which causes
the problem I described (ie. it just terminates immediately without saying
anything).

That's right, pyvon script starts 'python res.py'.

res.py does too things :

1 - calculate the height and width of your screen ( in
order to display an xterm box just below pyvon). All povray streams are
directed to that xterm console.

2 - starts the main pyvon script that is supposed to be in /usr/local/pyvon.

In the file res.py, you have a line that looks like :
[......]d+0+%d -e python /usr/local/pyvon/d35.py" % [.....]

Just replace '/usr/local/d35.py' with '~/pyvon/d35.py' and you should have
both the stream out and the pyvon window.

  It seems to work ok now.

  By the way, there doesn't seem to be any way of setting regular text
color, which seems to be fixed to black. Eg. identifiers are colored like this.
  As I'm accustomed to using black background, this is a problem.

Ok I'll see to that and rework the insertions menu, just to check for 
remaining bugs (if any).

su to root
run pyvon from Konsole in KDE
black streams box flashes up, then disappears
pyvon window never appears
(ie same as when run as a user)

All files in the Insert directory have permissions 666, ie
-rw-rw-rw- and are owned by root.

pyvon starts ok (nothing in the insert menu, of course)

One folder >00 - Scene templates< in Insert directory containing its 7 
files, no other folders or files.
Pyvon starts, and has only Scene templates in the insert menu.

There are no .pov files installed in the Insert directory, so I copied 
lamp.pov across.  Test done with no other files or directories in the 
Insert directory.
Pyvon won't start, same as before - just flashes the black streams box.
Also, it gives the same result if there is just one .txt file in the Insert 
directory and nothing else.

I also tried with all 22 directories (and their contents) in the Insert 
directory.  Pyvon starts ok.


I hope this helps you debug the programme.

The /usr/local/pyvon/Insert directory on this PC has many .txt files in it, 
and these appear to be duplicates of files in the subdirectories of 
/Insert.
Maybe these .txt files are from an earlier install of pyvon, and they 
weren't removed by either the install script or the rpm -e.

Removing them manually appears to allow Pyvon to start ok.
