Chekmo-UCI (Python) by Oleg Kalachev

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello,

can anyone of you give me a detailed description how Chekmo-UCI is working with Arena-GUI http://www.playwitharena.com/ on Windows OS 32-64 bit, please? I have installed Python 2.7 for Windows and SIMHhv-39-exe for Windows on my pc.

After embedding Chekmo-UCI into Arena (option: UCI protocol) I just get an error message: invalid command line.

It seems that Chekmo-UCI relies on the pty module to work, and this module is not supported by the Windows versions of Python. There are third party tools (WExpect) that supply this functionality, but I have not yet been able to get any of them to work with Chekmo, sorry.
