Is there any comprehensive documentation > on PythonCard? It is kind of in limbo. What it does, it does (more or less) adequately. There is a lot more it could do (i.e. addiitonal component types, better features in the editors, sizers via the editor, ability to mix in additional initialization characteristics, ... lots of additional things it could do), but unless someone is really motivated by a need for something specific, and has time to delve into developing it, I don't see any prospect of those being done. I'm not sure there is anything I'd describe as comprehensive documentation. There is a fair amount in the docs directory, and the samples contain lots of useful info, even though not 'documentation' as such. And if you haven't used it, the findfiles tool is a good way to find things in the samples, as well as being a generally useful tool anyway. > 2.

See samples/minimalList - it creates its columns using > list.InsertColumn(0, "Artist") > list.InsertColumn(1, "Title", wx.LIST_FORMAT_RIGHT) > list.InsertColumn(2, "Genre") Don't know offhand about the font type, but there should be a similar direct call into wx to do it. Or, it may not be possible to set the font for each column (I don't see a wx sampel that does this, with a cursory look). You may need to use a grid rather than a list .... but an explore of the wx samples or docs should sort that out for you. 'size' - column size or font size ? column size is set by list.SetColumnWidth() - see further down in the same sample. -- Alex. > > Regards, > > Andrew. > > > > On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 3:46 AM, Morgan Venable <ve...@gm... > <mailto:ve...@gm...>> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Item 1: > I'm having a hard time getting PythonCard to run cleanly on my Ubuntu > machine, seeing some peculiar errors that keep my program from > terminating properly on exit.
