The problem is that cable_status passes LinkStatusChoices.CHOICES as choices to the ChoiceVar contructor.

The VoiceVar constructor expects a list of two-tuples, while LinkStatusChoices.CHOICES is a three-tuple (The third item is the corresponding color).

I'm not sure if this should be fixed in

• the extras.scripts module, by accepting three-tuples
• the utilities.choices module, by providing a method or accessor that strips the 3rd element
• the script itself, by stripping the third element itself ([(choice[0], choice[1]) for choice in choices])

This is broken for me as well. Does not work on 3.2 or later. I would love it if someone knew how to fix it...

I ended up just commenting out the "cable_status = ChoiceVar..." line and the "status=data["cable_status"]" line

The cable status field isn't that important. If I'm connecting cables, its obvious that they are "Connected", so letting the system use the default value is fine.
