Greetings All!

I am on the latest pi pre-alpha.. I have noticed that python does not work at all not the mystic python demo, bbslink, nothing when I try to run anything python now I get cannot initialize python in red across the screen. Any thoughts? I have 2.7.15 python installed.

Go to Configuration -> General Settings and clear out any paths in Python2 Library and Python3 Library.

Once I did that on my Pi install it just started working again for me.

What is the output on the screen when you run this:

sudo find /usr -name 'libpython2.7*.so*'

paths in mystic cfg.. All works now. I do have a small issue, so say on
my doors menu a user selects bbslink it then prints all the loading info across the screen and doesnt look that great until it loads. Is there a way to clear screen after a menu selection is pressed?

Are you using the bbslink.py script?

I edited mine a little bit to make it a bit faster & clean up the Output a bit. I just commented out these lines below the clear screen line:

os.system("clear")
#print " BBSlink.net Linux connection client " + version + "\n -=- Courtesy of Sampsa Laine, B4BBS (2:250/7), http://sampsa.com/b4bbs -=- "
#print " "
#print " Connecting to BBSlink.net, please wait..."
#print " "
#time.sleep(2)


I still get the telnet connecting messages, but they're only there for a brief moment before the door actually loads.

Thank you for this... I ended up doing a GD (I think) and a |CL and it seems to do the trick.. your method is a bit more efficient tho...

os.system("clear")

Ill save this, Thanks again..

ERRORS:
Error in /mystic/themes/default/scripts/bulletin.mps (Line 93, Col 6): Unknow n identifier: cfgfallback
Results: 22 files, 1 errors, 6 directories, 0.91 seconds

Try doing this to replace the old bulletin.mps with a new one:

install extract bulletin.mps c:\mystic\themes\default\scripts

It looks like I forgot to make a note about this in the upgrade instructions!
