Fixing textext on Inkscape 0.48

I encounter one problem today. My textext didn’t work on Inkscape 0.48, I get the error
textext.py:55: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import os, sys, tempfile, traceback, glob, re, md5, copy Traceback (most recent call last): File "textext.py", line 306, in <module> raise RuntimeError("Neither pygtk nor Tkinter is available!") RuntimeError: Neither pygtk nor Tkinter is available!
The error is due to a module depreciated on the python version used on Inkscape, and that Textext uses. However, it was pretty easy to solve.
- First you need to download the python packages that are missing, thanks to David Gleich whom packed everything together, avoiding us the trouble of download them and put the pieces together.
- Unzip them
C:\Program Files\Inkscape\python\Lib\site-packages
Then you need to update your textext files, thanks to Pascal Schulthess for the solution.
- Go to
C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions
, and opentextext.py
file - Now replace
import inkex import os, sys, tempfile, traceback, glob, re, md5, copy from lxml import etree
and replace it for
import inkex import os, sys, tempfile, traceback, glob, re, copy import hashlib from lxml import etree
- And replace this
def __init__(self, document): PdfConverterBase.__init__(self, document) self.hash = None def convert(self, *a, **kw): # compute hash for generating unique ids for sub-elements self.hash = md5.new('%s%s' % (a, kw)).hexdigest()[:8] return PdfConverterBase.convert(self, *a, **kw) def pdf_to_svg(self): exec_command(['pdf2svg', self.tmp('pdf'), self.tmp('svg'), '1'])
for
def __init__(self, document): PdfConverterBase.__init__(self, document) self.hash = None USE_GTK = False def convert(self, *a, **kw): # compute hash for generating unique ids for sub-elements m = hashlib.md5() m.update('%s%s' % (a, kw)) self.hash = m.hexdigest()[:8] return PdfConverterBase.convert(self, *a, **kw) def pdf_to_svg(self): exec_command(['pdf2svg', self.tmp('pdf'), self.tmp('svg'), '1'])
Restart Inkscape and that would do the work.
