RE: [Pythoncard-users] IDLE and the PythonCardPrototype

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

The .rsrc.py files are just dictionaries and only provide the descriptions
of the application components, so they can't be run by themselves.

The minimal.rsrc.py file that you included looks fine. If you renamed one
file, you must rename the corresponding file as well. Eventually, we'll
probably make this more flexible, but for now since you have:
    minimal.rsrc.py
You must be using a corresponding file named 'minimal.py' or 'minimal.pyw'
which is defined in your 'minimal.rsrc.py' here:

  { 'type':'Background',
    'file':'minimal.py',
    'classname':'Minimal',
    'name':'bgMin',
   'components':

In addition, the classname should match the main class in your minimal.py
file. This is the line:

class Minimal(PythonCardPrototype.model.Background):

If you look at the other samples, you'll see how these elements match up.
