Unintelligible Errors

[nope]

After my draft script finishes running, I tend to get this large chunk of STDOUT which I can’t understand. I thought it had to do with me using subprocess at first, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.

I don’t see any errors in there… the parts I’m familiar with are just letting you know what the script is doing, and it looks like that’s the case for the rest too. Is there anything in particular you’d like help interpreting?

[nope]

Sorry, I had assumed they were errors since they weren’t written in plain English, but if this is nothing to worry about, then I’ll go ahead and ignore it.
It’s pretty clear what the first few lines are saying, but then it all turns into a bunch of random variables, letters, and numbers. That and the part that says “Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up”, made me think an error had occurred.

[andrea.mantler]

No problem. That one about the encoder is a warning, and it always does that as far as I know. I haven’t gone into the guts enough to figure out why, but the “made up points” don’t seem to be causing any problems.

[nope]

OK. Thanks for clearing it up.
