Hello everybody About 3 months ago, when I started using Boa 0.2.8. it was not ready to use with wxPython 2.5. Is it ready now? Are there any changes made since then? Is there any new version to download? I want to make some own controls derived from existing ones. How can I do it and how can I place the new control on the palette? If I try to copy/paste a control on a form, I get an error message. What's the problem? Is it a bug? If someone knows a free report builder wich I can use with Python, please help me. Thanks Endre --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So do we. |

I for one don't count to see a compatible version before the end of the year, but Riaan might have better news for you. > I want to make some own controls derived from existing ones.

Learning Python was part of my attempt to move to Linux. Unfortunately, I'm having a serious difficulty debugging my app on ArkLinux 1.0-alpha10: whenever I start it in debug mode, the whole os just freezes, end of story. Boa otherwise seems to work fine, and I can run the app without the debugger. I started my app in WindowsXP, and debugging in there works okay. I seem to recall Riaan saying that Boa was more stable under Windows, but when it causes the whole os to crash every time I try to debug, I think I must be experiencing an unusual difficulty. :) And I don't have any idea where to start troubleshooting. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful. ===== Sincerely, Derek __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I'm not familiar with ArkLinux, but the 'alpha' in the version number indicates an unstable, test and/or feature release, not a stable release. I've debugged under Linux before, and though I ran into some problems, it never took the box down. If this is an attempt to move to using Linux, I'd recommend using a stable distribution - or at least, a more stable one. I say this because it should be impossible for a user process to take down the box even if the user process crashes. If you are using the machine as the 'root' user, I'd recommend trying trying a different user - root has too much power, and you are more likely to cause problems (such as deleting /usr/lib by accident) if you stay logged in as root.

Python will not really teach you much about Linux, it just gives you something interesting to be doing while you have it running. In general the libraries you will be using for functionality are (mostly) designed to be cross-platform, not Linux specific. The problem I have with it all, is these libraries are changing too fast & breaking compatibility too often, so if you are planning on getting all adventurous on Linux, expect things to stop working a lot (example, watch this list for people asking about wxPython 2.5). Make sure you have compatible versions of all the inter-dependent stuff (python, wx, gtk etc) and then stick with them. Pay attention to what RPM's, Deb's etc want to upgrade for you. Oh, and yes, Boa is more stable under Windows. -- Les Ferguson Software developer Waitakere, NZ |
