    hi matteo

    i just installed pythoncad ds1-r37, on gNewSense following instructions in your install file. when i start the program with gtkpycad.py, python complains that it cannot find gtkpycad.png

    so i copied this file from downloaded files into /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ and /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PythonCAD/Interface/Gtk

    now it starts ok. thought you might like to know.

    pythoncad is pretty good so far. i will try it out more and send feedback
    first comment, as a blenderhead, i would love to see more keyboard shortcuts!

    i guess it is possible to use 'alt D B C' or 'circ' to draw a circle, but thats a lot of keystrokes!

    thanks

    steve

    Its true the installation has some issues. The way out is
    just unzip the folder and start the gtkpycad.py from the
    folder you extracted. (without install).

    Hope this might help.
