Thanks for your help on this

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I've been working on the Vaccuum Cleaner world with the intent of implementing some of the exercises in Russell-norvig 2.8-2.13,  I'm having difficulty having the program end nicely.  There are commands for 'quit' and 'exit' but they don't seem to have an effect - neither closes the gui.  I see the destroy(self) function  in the GUI class in VacuumCleanerWorld.py but I don't know that it is called.  Seems like there should be something in process()   like:  if self.quit ==1:
                                                                                       self.destroy()
or perhaps that variable is monitored somewhere else.

Thanks for any help on this.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Tried using the pucks, but when the robot moves they bounce out of the 
gripper, even if it's closed. Are there any objects in the simulated 
pyrobot world that the gripper can hold?

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Due to popular demand, I just updated Pyro a bit to work with Ubuntu
10.10. In 5 steps:

1. sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev swig
2. svn co svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/pyrobot/trunk pyrobot
3. cd pyrobot
4. make
5. bin/pyrobot

Does not work with Python 3. You can find more details here:

I download a subversion client for windows (after the svn client on

I appear to make it successfully through the above three lines.

Now what? Should I have a pyro executable somewhere?

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Have pulled out my antique Pioneer and want to use Pyro with it. After 
some serious fussing, I've determined that sometime in the last n years 
the hard drive died. I've got a new hard drive, but I'm not sure what to 
install OS-wise.

Can anyone else tell me what you've used Pyro with on a Pioneer? In 
particular, what version of the OS do you have installed? I'm thinking 
of trying Fedora, but do  I need an ancient version to be compatible 
with Pyro?

Thanks,

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Pyro users,

We've updated the Pyro 5.0.2 package for Fedora 11. Here is a Yum Repo:

[pyrobot]
name=Python Robotics

enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

This includes all C and C++ code, including vision, clustering, 
self-organizing maps, etc.

This version contains:
  * new graphics for neural networks
  * updates to work on Mac OSX
  * reworked graphics to work interactively with ipython/idle
  * a new robot model for the Rovio robot and camera
  * fixes for Simple Recurrent Network
  * Everything.py world for Pyrobot Simulator
  * YUYV webcams
  * Logitech webcam
  * Growing Neural Gas
  * Aibo cleanup
  * removed requirement for PYROBOT env variable
  * removed requirement for DISPLAY
  * fixes for CanonPTZ Python interface
  * fixed corrupt images
  * fixed angle error in simulated directional microphone

Thanks to: Jim Marshall, Lisa Meeden, Nik Swoboda, Ryan Walker for code 
and fixes, and for all of the people who have reported issues! If I 
forgot anyone, please let me know, and I'll add you to the list.
