Re: [Gnumed-bugs] <bug>: entering a birthdate, real birthdate curren

[Karsten Hilbert]

Hello John,

thanks for your report !

> client version: 0.9.2

While 0.9.3 is already out:

        FIX: wxPython-MacOSX needs yet another way to detach sizer items 
[thanks J.Busser]

        IMPROVED: naming of formatted item view in tree (Details -> Synopsis) 
[thanks J.Busser]
        IMRPOVED: synopsis formatting of episodes in EMR tree [thanks J.Busser]
        IMPROVED: wording of problem list headers in SOAP plugin [thanks 
S.Leibner]
        IMRPOVED: synopsis formatting of health issues in EMR tree [thanks 
J.Busser]
        IMPROVED: problem list formatting in SOAP plugin [thanks J.Busser]

it won't help with your current problem.

BTW, GNUmed meanwhile allows you to NOT enter any date of
birth if unknown -- if that doesn't work, please report this
as a bug as well.

Ah, I see. This is, again, Python being unable to properly
handle dates before 1900. Now, this particular case comes
about because our date input phrasewheel was enhanced to
show a tooltip verbosely formatting the date that is
displayed only tersely within the input field itself.

That formatting fails if year < 1900.

I fixed this for 0.9.4 (it will not fail but rather display
that it cannot format the date).

If you want to fix this for yourself locally right now you
would do this:

- go find the file client/wxpython/gmDateTimeInput.py 
(/usr/share/gnumed/Gnumed/wxpython/gmDateTimeInput.py)
- find the function _get_data_tooltip()  (should be around line 221)
- edit that to read like this:

        def _get_data_tooltip(self):
                if self.data is None:
                        return u''

                try:
                        return self.data.strftime('%A, %d. %B %Y 
(%x)').decode(gmI18N.get_encoding())
                except ValueError:
                        return _('Python cannot format this date, sorry.')


I hope you find the improved handling of visual progress
notes helpful.
