Hello,
We now have one Mandrake 9 Linux installation here in Biochem running
Analysis and it gave rise to a new problem. The shift and control keys
were not being recognised (for Tcl/Tk afficionados, with the associated
callbacks you get an event argument, and the state attribute of that is
supposed to give you the shift/etc. state, but it does not on that
Mandrake 9 computer). I've modified the code to work around this problem
and the fix will be in the next release.
While I was working on that I thought of an unrelated possible problem.
If you put the Analysis installation in a directory owned by root and then
try and run it in your own directory, unless the compiled Python files
have been created as part of the installation process (which happens if
you ask for Analysis to start up as a test at the end of the
installCode.py script) then my guess is that the Python code will have to
be interpreted each time you run it (because you do not have root
permission to put the compiled Python code in the relevent directories),
so that would be slow.
