[lojban-beginners] Re: BAD thing w/ Parallel (Was: Now what?)

I can fix the problem with playing the sounds easily, the problem I'm having that I can't figure out is why it gets a fatal error when it tries to read in the 'Lojban Pronunciation.txt' file.

That's what this error is all about:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "parallel03.py", line 373, in ?
    main()
  File " parallel03.py", line 269, in main
    storage,level=store()

    if el[1]=="+":
IndexError: string index out of range

Anyone with python knowledge help me out?

el is an empty (or length-1) string, such that there exists no el[1] (which refers to the second item; sequences in Python start at element 0).

I'd need to inspect the program's state (or at least look at the source) to say more. For the former purpose, Python includes a debugger, pdb; as for the latter, I'll poke at it tomorrow afternoon if this issue hasn't been independently figured out before that point.

Which version of Parallel is this? I did a port a while back intended to run unchanged on Windows or Linux with dependencies less onerous (to me) than the upstream one, but I don't even know where to download it now. If you could point me at what you're using, that'll improve my ability to help.
