Problem is that there aren't a lot of mac devs that can look into this.

Do you know the last version where this worked for you? Is there anything in the error log file created in the save directory (~/.pyfa)? Are you willing to install python and run pyfa from source to see if it pops up anything in the console?

I've installed OS X on virtualbox to test this (Mountain Lion). I won't pretend to know much about OS X, but I was able to install Pyfa from the stable release, add damage profile, and switch between them just fine. =/


I'm an EVE newb, and this is the first time I've ever used pyfa, so I can't compare this behavior to older versions.

I looked in .pyfa, and there is no error log file. There is only saveddata.db and settings. I already have python installed and will give it whirl from source this weekend.

Also, not sure it would make any difference, but I'm on Mavericks and not ML (and, arrived at Mavericks from Snow Leopard->Mountain Lion->Mavericks upgrades, not a fresh install).



Download some older versions and see if the problem persists:

Hey guys, I want to see if I'm the only one having tons of reliability issues in OS X, because I don't see anyone else talking about it. I assumed everyone was dealing with these issues and that of course they must be being actively worked on, but now that I've browsed through this thread and I don't seem to see anyone else complaining about this, I wonder if it's just me.

I love Pyfa, and I use it regularly, but man, it's barely useable for me. I need to be sure to pause for a second or two between each double-click (like for loading or removing modules, drones, etc from a fit), or else I get the pinwheel for a second and then it stops responding to any clicks and I have to close Pyfa and restart it. Sometimes even if I pause between clicks it still does the pinwheel-and-stop-responding thing and needs to be reopened. And then of course sometimes it crashes entirely no matter what I do.

I use it regularly despite all that, and have just gotten used to re-opening it 4-6 times every time I want to work up a fit, because I much prefer the interface to EFT. I've been assuming that everyone shared my issues and they'd be fixed in an upcoming release, but it's gotten 2-3 updates since I started using it and the issues are all still there, so I thought I should post and see if anyone else is experiencing these issues.

I've done some limited troubleshooting, which I'll post separately due to length issues. But I just want to know if these issues affecting anyone else? If it turns out that I'm the only one having these issues, then I can start looking at other aspects of my setup to see what could be affecting things. But since I don't have anything particularly out-of-the-ordinary installed, I wanted to see if it's just a known issue first, before I start uninstalling things etc. Thanks.

I'm a programmer but I don't know python, so I can't do as much as I could with another language I'm more familiar with, but I did try simply opening Pyfa via the command line so I could see the error output when things go wrong. When I double click too quickly and it stops responding, I get this output:

And then any further clicks result in a repeat of the last part, with the error "sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (OperationalError) database is locked None None". So it appears to be an issue with a query failing in the sqlite backend and not being properly handled, leaving the table locked.

Other times, I'll double-click to add or remove a module and the whole thing will just crash. In that case, I only get this in the terminal:

I recently installed OS X Mountain Lion on VirtualBox for testing and have experienced some issues as well, such as much longer response time when browsing ships when compared to windows / linux. However, double clicking to add/remove modules seems to work just fine for me with no slowdow. I haven't really had time to look into it, and I know jack all about Macs.

Perhaps find some other Mac users in your corp/alliance and ask if they experience the same issues?

Hey there,
So for my senior project for BS in CS I wanted to add a compare tool for pyfa similar to Eve's that way we don't have to open a million windows for comparing modules Big smile Except when I look at the code I have no idea where to start, are there any good code examples in Pyfa of where I can start/code examples on the web/advice in general. Feel free to contact me ingame on this character or in this thread.

Thanks for any help o7

Time for a 1.3 update? I know it's a bit early, but that new Rifter is really interesting to me ;)

I make YouTube videos and so on... Watch me do silly things here:

On top of the inevitable 1.3 update, I think a feature implementing some kind of quick bar for link or support ships would be awesome. At the moment, to get the effects of links, you have to go back through the ship browser and find the link ship fit and drag that into the boosts bar. An extra click on the link fit causes it to open that fit up, which I've done on more than occasion. Having a quickbar to store link ship fits on for easy access would be amazing.

I've already committed something like this into the main project, see https://github.com/DarkFenX/Pyfa/pull/53

Should be out with the update to Rubicon 1.3 which should be soon - Kadesh handles the new releases

If i may, I'd like to suggest getting wormhole effects in somehow. I'm not 100% sure (as i cannot find it) but I'm assuming it is currently not in build.

Love pyfa otherwise. Thanks a bunch.

On a fitting if you go down the "Projected" tab at the bottom and right click you can apply wormhole effects.

Time for Rubi 1.3 update! You can find it on release page, as usual. All the changes are listed there as well.

This time most of the UI changes were coded by new (now official) team member, Sable Blitzmann. Welcome aboard!

Cheers for the update! The new booster mechanics are really useful :)

However, I'm not sure if it's working as intended on Windows (7)? Selecting a booster for a fit is fine, but if you want to change the booster to a different ship, you have to first double-click to remove the current one and then select the one you want since selecting a booster disables the drop-down menu (see here: http://i.imgur.com/IgCJPgS.png).

IMO it would be better to not disable the drop-down menu when you select a booster.

This is how I imagined it when I started the feature, however dropped the idea in favor for the current implementation. It was a difficult decision, but this is indeed working as intended.

I went with this because the drop down contains ships that are flagged as boosters (right click a ship -> flag). IIRC (this was, like, 2 weeks ago and I haven't looked at it since), it's fairly difficult to add the dragged ship to the dropdown menu. Then you have to deal with taking it out when you switch it, and other use cases that, quite frankly, I didn't want to think about at the time.

Besides, having it as static text will allow us to maybe put a link next to it that opens the fit in a new tab (which was planned, but then I saw something else I wanted to tackle >_>).

I can look at it again if there is demand for it; will continue to monitor this thread. =)

Sorry if I missed this somewhere else, but is it possible to turn off the market update? When I am not busy at work I like to mess around with fits, and I don't want pyfa to constantly bounce off our firewall.

Amazing tool, keep up the good work!

Not possible at this time, could be added as a setting. In the meantime, there is proxy support..

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately a proxy wouldn't do anything for me in this instance. How often does it try to do a market update? Other than the every 60 seconds if it fails of course.

I haven't looked at the pricing update code too much, but it should try to lookup the price every time you add a mod. Pyfa has an internal price caching table - I'm not sure what the expiration is, however if you try to look up the price before the expiration it should come from the database rather than the network.

Not only that, but if market update fails, I think it disables it for a few hours. I'd have to look more into it.

Awesome. Well, whenever you have the time to look, what I am seeing is it tries, and fails, every 60 seconds. I see a countdown timer that appears under the pricing info. Thanks again for the amazing program, and quick responses.

Hi guys, I've seen a few people having the "pyfa won't start for me, it instantly crashes on start-up"

I had the exact same issue and just fixed it after a lot of digging, posting it here to save you all the issue. sqlalchemy.cresultproxy.pyd
Delete this file in your pyfa folder. It's the file that's crashing and pyfa has worked fine for me without it so far. If I come across any issues i'll be sure to update, but it gets it working at least. My original error was something like this, except English.
