Re: [Pythoncad-developer] prefs.py when packaging PythonCAD

[Matteo B. <mat...@bo...>]

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the patch ..
I will add it as soon I can.
Actually your patch is for version R37 that is the actual released ..
So please use the version R37.1 that is in the git repo at :
git://pythoncad.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pythoncad/Pythoncad
for future patch.

The R37... version will have only some bug fix .. we are in the middle of Pythoncad rewriting.
R38 will have a different user interface from gtk->qt and a brand new kernel..now we will have sqlite database as file storage.
http://pythoncad.sourceforge.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=releases

So if you want to have a look at R38 please download it from git repository ..

If you have some trouble with git please go to the wiki at :
http://pythoncad.sourceforge.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=download


Regards,
Matteo

Probably a better approach attached.
