[Pythoncard-users] samples launcher

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

The samples launcher (samples.py) seems to be working fine on Windows, but I
can't test it on Unix, so I don't know if the os.spawnv code below is
correct. If someone in Unix land can confirm that it works or provide a
better solution that would be great.

samples.py, samples.rsrc.py, and the readme.txt are at:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pythoncard/PythonCardPrototyp
e/samples/


    def on_btnLaunch_mouseClick(self, menu, event):
        name = self.components.listSamples.selected
        path = name
        name = name + '.py'
        args = self.getCommandLineArgs()
        if sys.platform[:3]=='win':
            # this only works on Windows
            os.popen('start ' + os.path.join(path, name) + args)
        else:
            args = ['python', os.path.join(path, name)] + args.split()
            os.spawnv(os.P_DETACH, 'python', args)


Once this issue is solved, I'll go ahead and do a 0.4.4.1 release that
contains the samples launcher.
