get an error message which hints at python version differences (?)

[hajduk]

Hi,

so finally I got the package installed, and if I want to trace a png file in Inkscape, the extension will start, the window with the settings will open.
But then a pop up window will open with the following content:
"File "centerline-trace.py", line 420
print version
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(version)?"

If I look this up, I find content on the WWW which usually points to version differences of python.
Either version 3 is installed and version 2 should be used or the other way around.

On my system, there is the standard version 2.7 installed, but I also installed a fresh version 3.

Does anybody know how to fix this error and use centreline trace on OS X?

Thank you so much!

Use the integrated version in your dmg - I suppose you're already using the beta?

It comes with centerline tracing being part of the Path > Trace Bitmap dialog.

Dear Mini,

thank you!

I was using 1.1 dev. -did not see the integrated centreline trace.
Also due to a pretty unusable translation in German.

Now I checked it and it works.

Thanks,
Martin

Oh, I think it's more the original texts that make it hard to understand. I was too late in reviewing them before string freeze (which is when texts in the program can no longer change). If you have improvement suggestions for the German translations, feel free to open a bug report for them at https://inkscape.org/report , and to tag me there (same user name on GitLab).
