macOS Help with Python

Hey guys..

I was compiling BitTornado for OS X, when I ran into a problem.

I used this guide to install BitTornado.


In the guide, the guy has mentioned this:

6. Make the changes listed in this site in the btdownloadgui.py file http://lists.wxwidgets.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?10:mss:1193:hedpdngcjjlbfjgaehom

Now, I couldn't make head or tail of what he wants me to change. I understood that I need to make changes in lines 177, 492 and 505. But, I couldn't understand what all those + and - signs meant. So, can some one please edit this file for me. I am attaching the file with this post.

Basically, you need to remove the - lines, and add in the + lines.

I tried doing that, but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong somewhere. Can you please help me with it?

Sure, PM me with the problem you've run in to, and I'll see what I can do.

Since that is merely a diff file (from "--- BitTornado-CVS.orig/btdownloadgui.py"), you could just save it and then use patch, like so:

$ patch < the_file.diff

Python is dependent on indenting - perhaps the indenting in the stuff you added didn't match the indenting in the file? Being off by a space or a tab can screw things up..

I downloaded the latest BitTornado, and it ran OK. Hence, I asked the OP to PM me so I could verify version, etc.
