I have been wanting to play with the automation tool Sikuli for a while now. The few minutes I have dedicated to it have ended in frustration and promising myself that I would sit down and make a serious attempt at it some evening soon.
That evening finally happened. My attempts at the simplest script had ended each time with the error:
[error] Stopped [error] Error message: Traceback (innermost last): (no code object) at line 0 SyntaxError: ('future feature with_statement is not defined', (' ', 1, 6, ''))
A little duckduckgoing revealed that the problem is that the Ubuntu/Debian repositories have a old version of Jython which is causing Sikuli problems. It took a little experimentation (and upgrading both Sikuli and Jython) but this is what got my Sikuli script working:
wget -O jython_installer-2.5.2.jar http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/jython/jython/2.5.2/jython_installer-2.5.2.jar?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.python.org%2Fjython%2FDownloadInstructions&ts=1331868765&use_mirror=voxeljava -jar jython_installer-2.5.2.jar #run through the installer, I installed it into my home directory...
sudo ln -s /home/mike/jython2.5.2/jython /usr/local/bin/jython #then I created a link to it in my path
sudo apt-get install libcv2.1 libcvaux2.1 libhighgui2.1 # install some of the computer vision libraries Sikuli uses
Once that setup was done, I also downloaded and unzipped the latest version of Sikuli and then ran the script to start the ide:
Sikuli-X-1.0rc3 (r905)-linux-x86_64/Sikuli-IDE/sikuli-ide.sh
And it worked! Now I can finally experiment!
This was perfect information. I was having the EXACT same problem. Thank You!
