[Bug-gnubg] GnuBG vs GnuBG

[Massimiliano Maini]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get GnuBG playing himself
using different METs.
On the mailing list archives I've found
a thread discussing this and using the
matchseries.py script that comes with
the gnubg distribs.

What I do is :
1 - start an instance of gnubg (command
line) and setup with following commands :
        set
met "met\g11.xml"
        set
player 0 name gnubg-g11
        set
player 0 gnubg
        set
player 1 name gnubg-snowie
        external
127.0.0.1:10000

2- start an instance of gnubg (command
line) and setup with following commands :
        set
met "met\snowie.xml"
        set
player 0 name gnubg-g11
        set
player 1 name gnubg-snowie
        set
player 0 external 127.0.0.1:10000

External connection seems to work,
since on the 1st instance I get the following messages:

        Waiting
for a connection from 127.0.0.1:10000...
        Accepted
connection from 127.0.0.1.

Then I try tu use the matchseries.py
script doing:

        >
        >>>
from matchseries import *
        >>>
playMatchSeries (matchLength = 1, noOfMatches = 1,statsFile = "ZZ-Dueller-res.txt",
sgfBasePath = None,matBasePath = None)

but I get the following error message:

Error (syntax error) near 'board'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "???", line 3,
in ?
  File "D:\Documents\gnubg-0.16\matchseries.py",
line 76, in playMatchSeries
    matchInfo = formatMatchInfo(gnubg.match(analysis=0,
boards=0))
  File "D:\Documents\gnubg-0.16\matchseries.py",
line 98, in formatMatchInfo
    pw = game['info']['points-won']
KeyError: 'points-won'


I tried to investigate but I'm totally
lost. Also, I tried to issue these commands manually :

>>> gnubg.command('new match
1')
Are you sure you want to start a new
match, and discard the game in progress? ye

What's going wrong ? It seems to happen
with both 0.15 and 0.16 ...
