Solved it myself(tm). I was simply thinking to complicated...

The SpinCombo is ready, I've sent it to the wxPython list. If somebody
is interrested here, I can put it on this list, too (but I suspect,
all readers here are subscribed in the wxPython list, too)

[Boa Constr] configfile parse error: fixed

[Terrel S. <tsh...@uc...>]

Running tounix fixed the problem for me. 

Of course, like every red-blooded hacker, I had to write tounix from
scratch, rather than figure out how to use tr.

[Boa Constr] resolve constraints dynamically

[Hans-Peter J. <hp...@ur...>]

Hi,

while working on a composite control derived from wxComboBox, I'm trying 
to solve the dynamic resizing part by overlaying SetConstraints(). 
self.panel is the self contained parent of all other controls:

    def SetConstraints(self, constr):
        wxComboBox.SetConstraints(self, constr)
        # XXX: how resolve constraints dynamically?
        self.panel.SetConstraints(LayoutAnchors(self.panel, true, true, true, false))
        #self.panel.SetConstraints(LayoutAnchors(self.panel, constr.left, constr.top, 
	#constr.right, constr.bottom))

It must be possible somehow, but I couldn't figure it out 8|

As always, any hints appreciated.

Read you,

[Boa Constr] Is the new debugger working with wxWindows?

[<kl...@ma...>]

Has anyone had any luck running an app with the new  debugger from CVS?
I'm just wondering if I'm having a bad day or if the debugger is having
issues.  I have noticed that there's been recent activity on the debugger
CVS logs, but it still doesn't run.

Symptoms: Debugger starts, indicating its ready to run.  Pressing either
of the run buttons gives a "running" status (bottom of debugging window),
but my  wx application never appears.  Straight Python scripts seem to run
OK and the wxApp runs "correctly" until the mainloop is called.

I'm just wondering if its a platform problem or if its just not working
yet.

Run on:
Win98/ME
Python 2.1/2.2
wxWindows 2.3
Boa 0.1.1a (CVS pulled today 3/22)

Kevin

Oh yeah... Thanks Riaan and team!

Re: [Boa Constr] SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

[Bill B. <bi...@kg...>]

John,

The Mandrake 8.2 was the final release and I installed from the download 
version.  I have a couple years experience with them, subscribed to the 
'club' and my Boa difficulty was with 8.1 installed.

The 8.2 installer barfed on gcc, glade, glibc and setting the clock.  One of 
the dependencies was libc.so.6, serious indeed, and about 3 other libraries.
Oddly enough the betas looked pretty good.  The few additions in 8.2 are not 
worth the effort of tweaking the dependencies.

I was in the throes of upgrading when you suggested the file edit and now, of 
course, I can't get that far.  Since I have 8.1 on the shelf I'm going to 
reinstall it and try your change.  It appears that a test on z2.py would 
answer the question.

I have been scratching the dirt for 2+ years looking for a 'Boa Constructor' 
and certainly agree with your judgement of boa vs glade.  The glade 
consideration is that I have a very heavy C interpreter for a script of my 
own invention, done in DOS.  I have wrestled with what to do with that for at 
least as long as the gui search.  That's the price of resisting the strait 
jacket from Redmond.

BTW, Debian came up in more than just a fit pique.   Libranet's first release 
is the happiest experience I ever had with any distribution.  Great support 
and responsive people.  Unhappily, the debian system spends too much time in 
the backwater.

Thanks much for your suggestions.  Will get back.

Cheers,
-Bill

Bill,

Some suggestions:

(1) I don't have a copy of Mandrake 8.2, so I don't
know what the dependancy problems are, but:

  (a) If you have python2.2 and are running the 0.1.1
CVS version (which is what I take your previous
comment on "the new version" to mean) then you have a
good combination.  Even to 0.1.0 release looks OK with
Python2.2 until you get well into it.

  (b) Since Mandrake is an RPM based system it's
trivial to upgrade around your dependancy problems. 
Just download the required RPM's from Mandrake if
available, or if not look on the contrib directory of
the RedHat site for a suitable RPM.  In the latter
case it would probably be best to download the source
RPM and do an rpm --rebuild on it first.  Not having
used Mandrake in years, I'm not sure if there are
directory architecture differences between them that
will require patching, but I doubt it as in the past
they used to follow RedHat's lead in this area.

  (c) If you're thinking of changing Linux versions
and are concerned about dependancy issues etc., may I
suggest you go for the RedHat variant.  I certainly
don't want to start a discussion on the relative
merits of the different distributeions, but with
RedHat being by a long margin the market leader you
will generally find that most software is ready to run
on this platform first.

(2) Whilst I like Glade/PyGlade myself from an
aesthetic point of view (an addiction to *IX
minimalist solutions), I'd be disinclined to develop
anything serious in it when there are products like
Boa available.  You just don't get anything like the
functionality or productivity available with the more
advanced products.  As to the Win98 option, I guess
that it's a matter of what your goals are.

(3) Did you try out my previous suggestion re the
<CR><LF> issue.  I can't remember for sure if this is
the solution as it's ages since I ran into this issue.
 If you've tried it with no luck, I'm happy to look
further into it.  If you need more detailed info just
let me know.

John Bell

Re: [Boa Constr] SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

[Bill B. <bi...@kg...>]

Can it be because I was running python 2.2?

Would check this, but really lost now.  Just installed Mandrake 8.2, which 
installs python 2.2.  Now I can't install wxPython or wxGTK (or Glade) 
because of a string of dependencies.  Disgusted.

Will either get Debian and run Glade 0.6.4 or Boa on (gasp) Win98. Messed 
around with MDK long enough.  Must get into production.

Thanks much for taking a look at this.  I seem to recall, also,  a glitch on 
the Win98 excercise and will report that.

Not sure about this one.

Well, I'm using Boa under wxGTK 2.3.2.1 in a diskless environment,
and, besides of using python Boa.py|Help.py, no problems here in this
domain. I'm using Python 2.1 and autoReindent = true.

Shouldn't we fix the parser to handle the common line-endings?

Otherwise, this will continue to be a problem for people who use boa on
a shared networked filesystem.  I assume that there will be many who use
boa *because* it is cross-platform.

My suggestion (unit tests and code will follow): 
 a) create a wrapper for wxConfig that will handle '\r|\r\n|\n' as a
line ending (short-term solution, until b is done)
or 
 b) patch the wxWindows code that parses the config file.

Re: [Boa Constr] import gets seg fault

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

Bill,

From memory (which means I may be wrong) this is yet
another problem resulting from Microsoft EOL sequences
in the source.  Run dos2unix or equivalent against all
files other than image files and ZOA.zexp.

Re: [Boa Constr] SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

Terrel,

This is just the old Microsoft line termination
artifact.  Hence you should run dos2unix against all
files in Boa other than the image files and .zexp
files.

Now that I'm back from the sticks I'll have to have a
look at the new CVS version!

Cool, thanks. Would you mind looking into the "constraint objects 
move by one on edit in Designer" issue.

BTW: When using constraints together with wxNotebooks, it's
important, that the notebook panels are unconstraint. Otherwise
very strange things happens: some right/bottom constraint objects
get negative x position values and simply disappear. Just enable
constraints of panel[23] in my example. I've made it orginally to
resolve this issue ;).

[Boa Constr] name 'EVT_HELP' is not defined

[Thomas G. <gu...@th...>]

Hi!

I downloaded 0.1.0alpha. When I start it, I get:
name 'EVT_HELP' is not defined

If I uncomment it in Companions/EventCollections.py it starts up.

I use a debian-package of the CVS-Version of WxWindows. The package was
created with "make-deb; debian/rules build; debian/rules binary'
(See thread on comp.soft-sys.wxwindows)

[Boa Constr] left constraint objects move up in designer problem

[Hans-Peter J. <hp...@ur...>]

Hi Riaan et al.,

every time the attached wxFrame1.py is edited in the designer,
all left constraint objects move up 1 pixel.

Smells like an off by one problem!

First try starting boa directly from were you've installed it:
cd /usr/lib/python-2.2/site-modules/boa
python ./Boa.py

When this is working, I would create a script in /usr/local/bin:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/lib/python-2.2/site-modules/boa
exec python ./Boa.py

make it executable, and you're done, don't you?

Boa.py and Help.py cannot be executed directly, as long as they
contain windos line breaks...

[Boa Constr] Installing boa system-wide

[Arcady G. <ag...@th...>]

Hello:

What's the preferred way to install an executable /usr/bin/boa?  I was
surprised when I didn't find it in the distribution.  Anyhow, I tried
unpacking the sources into /usr/lib/python-2.2/site-modules/boa, and
then writing a small Python wrapper, but when I "import boa.Boa", I
get the following:

The README.txt file says that

But that doesn't seem to be working, since I definitely have HOME
defined, and I even created ~/.boa manually. :(  Any pointers?

Many thanks,

[Boa Constr] wow!

[Terrel S. <tsh...@ic...>]

I tried boa 0.0.5 a while ago. I thought, "OK, maybe someday."

I just tried boa 0.1.0a.  I thought, "WOW! Where did this beautiful =
piece of software come from?!!"  If there was ever a case study of =
development speed for Python vs. Java -- Boa vs. Netbeans is it.

Actually it can be, you just have to load it as a wxBitmap and convert it to
a wxIcon first.

    bmp = wxBitmap('path/to/icon.png', wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG)
    icon = wxEmptyIcon()
    icon.ConvertFromBitmap(bmp)
    self.SetIcon(icon)

The next version of wxPython will have a wxIconFromBitmap(bmp) helper
function/constructor to do the conversion for you.

I've added a bug report on this one this week.

Haven't found this in the menus, only KeyDefsDlg.py in source.

Done that before :) 
dsGridSize = 2

I bet, it isn't.

After selecting one item, it's selection tags are drawn opaque black.
After adding a second selection, it's tags are drawn in background color
with a black edge. Thereafter, a _single_ selection is drawn with background
colored tags. Multiple selections are drawn as expected. I bet, the color of 
the multi selection tag leaks into the single selection color, which would 
explain the findings.

Would you like to give me a source code pointer into this?
