lurking py3 error

[CarlFK]

I am guessing this is using some undocumented behaviour:

self.HomeDirectory = os.path.join(os.path.split(val)[:-1])[0]
https://github.com/dabodev/dabo/blob/master/dabo/lib/reportWriter.py#L3149

this worked in 2.x and even 3.4.. but in python 3.5...

TypeError: join() argument must be str or bytes, not 'tuple'

in 2.7

os.path.join( ['a', 'b'] )
['a', 'b']

Python 3.5.1+ (default, Mar 30 2016, 22:46:26) 
[GCC 5.3.1 20160330] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.path.join( ['a', 'b'] )

>>> 

A simple fix is to move the [0] :

os.path.join(os.path.split(val)[:-1][0])
'/home/veyepar/venvs/veyepar/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dabo-master/ide'
os.path.join(os.path.split(val)[:-1])[0]
'/home/veyepar/venvs/veyepar/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dabo-master/ide'

It appears you are on Linux (Ubuntu?) but it could be an apple.  So tell me what version of python, wxpython and platform.  But you did not have to use the designer - right? Johnf
