Are you sure you are using the latest versions of stsci.tools? There was a fix for #11 which also complained about UnicodeDecodeError.

[pllim]

Your path says 3.4.3 but latest release is 3.4.5.

[exowanderer]

I can only say that I installed astroconda this morning. Then 1 hour later, during astroDrizzle training at STScI, I received that error while following the tutorial.

I would assume that I have the latest version of everything, unless it was released today.

[pllim]

3.4.5 was released 19 days ago and pushed to AstroConda 2 weeks ago via astroconda/astroconda-contrib#159. Try conda update stsci.tools.

[exowanderer]

Thank you for the responses.

I just ran "conda update stsci.tools", which claimed to have installed v3.4.5; but, when I used "stsci.tools.version", it still claims to be on version 3.4.3.

I will try to figure this out, but I wanted to let you know that this may take longer.

[pllim]

Did you ever pip install it in the past? It could have been picking up an old pip installation. @jhunkeler , any ideas?

[pllim]

Ops! I think I figured it out. The version number in setup.cfg is wrong. #3 would be remedied that but it was not merged. I apologize for the confusion.

[exowanderer]

Thank you for the clarification. Does this mean that I have version 3.4.5 (as Conda declared), but that the command "stsci.tools.version" is flawed?

If so, then does that bring us back to the above concern that TEAL is crashing when I scroll?

[exowanderer]

I just went back to test this and I have an important update.

The error did not occur when I click and drag the scroll bar; but it instead activates when I use the 3rd mouse well. I previously assumed that these actions were identical.

[pllim]

@exowanderer , yes, it appears your problem might still exist in the current master. I apologize for the confusion. @cdsontag will investigate and get back on this soon. In the meantime, we ask for your patience. Thanks for reporting this!
