blogtk — Unsupported XML-RPC protocol

2010-06-29 2 min read Linux

Earlier I had talked about this blog client, did I. If not then there is a nice blogging clinet called BloGTK, which can be used directly to post into the blog.

So today I reinstalled it and I was completely at loss with the client being unable to start with the error below:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/blogtk/BloGTK.py:407: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.TRUE is deprecated, use True instead
self.publishCheck.set_active(gtk.TRUE)
