Win7: Fixing textext on Inkscape 0.48 解决Tek Text问题

I encounter one problem today. My textext didn’t work on Inkscape 0.48, I get the error

1	textext.py:55: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import os, sys, tempfile, traceback, glob, re, md5, copy

2	Traceback (most recent call last): File "textext.py", line 306, in <module>

3	raise RuntimeError("Neither pygtk nor Tkinter is available!")

4	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 and 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 open textext.py file
• Now replace

54	import inkex

55	import os, sys, tempfile, traceback, glob, re, md5, copy

56	from lxml import etree

and replace it for

54	import inkex

55	import os, sys, tempfile, traceback, glob, re, copy

56	import hashlib

57	from lxml import etree

• And replace this

  868	def __init__(self, document):

  869	PdfConverterBase.__init__(self, document)

  870	self.hash = None

  871	def convert(self, *a, **kw):

  872	# compute hash for generating unique ids for sub-elements

  873	self.hash = md5.new('%s%s' % (a, kw)).hexdigest()[:8]

  874	return PdfConverterBase.convert(self, *a, **kw)

  875	def pdf_to_svg(self):

  876	exec_command(['pdf2svg', self.tmp('pdf'), self.tmp('svg'), '1'])

• for

  868	def __init__(self, document):

  869	PdfConverterBase.__init__(self, document)

  870	self.hash = None

  871	USE_GTK = False

  872	def convert(self, *a, **kw):

  873	# compute hash for generating unique ids for sub-elements

  874	m = hashlib.md5()

  875	m.update('%s%s' % (a, kw))

  876	self.hash = m.hexdigest()[:8]

  877	return PdfConverterBase.convert(self, *a, **kw)

  878	def pdf_to_svg(self):

  879	exec_command(['pdf2svg', self.tmp('pdf'), self.tmp('svg'), '1'])

Restart Inkscape  and the Tex Text works.

attention: you should pay attentions to the space or indent when you replace. or you will have a indent wrong in line871 when you run it.

more information you can visit:　 https://bitbucket.org/pv/textext/issue/55/textext-using-inkscape048

but just using my this method of my passage is enough to solve the problem.

it works well!
