PythonCard home page http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/ SourceForge summary page http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythoncard/ Mailing list http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pythoncard-users PythonCard requires Python 2.1.x or later and wxPython 2.3.x. wxPython is available at http://www.wxpython.org/ PythonCard relies on wxPython, it will support the Macintosh once wxPython has been ported to the Mac. PyCrust 0.6 PyCrust by Patrick K. O'Brien is required by PythonCard, but is no longer included as part of the PythonCardPrototype releases. Please visit the home page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/ and download the latest release at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=31263 ---------------------------- Changes since release 0.4.3 (2001-08-23): Release 0.4.5 2001-09-17 PyCrust is no longer included in the PythonCardPrototype distribution, please download PyCrust at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=31263 moved Bitmap class to graphic.py module added getPILBits and setPILBits to Bitmap class to simplify using PIL with PythonCard added BitmapCanvas widget to widget.py added doodle and hopalong samples which use BitmapCanvas The BitmapCanvas is very experimental and will be enhanced and improved Debug windows are now children of the app window Namespace Viewer, Property Editor, Shell added 'Save Configuration' option to Debug menu this will create a pythoncard.user.config.py file with the current debug window position and sizes changed Message Watcher to use sizers renamed readDictionaryFile to readAndEvalFile updated addresses.py and searchexplorer.py to use the new function Release 0.4.4.5 2001-09-08 posted Help Wanted on SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/people/?group_id=19015 posted Python Conference request for papers/tutorials http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/PythonCard/767719 added addMethod to Scriptable class for dynamically adding handlers at runtime, see: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/PythonCard/770015 added 'openBackground' message to replace using __init__ changed background handlers to on_mouseClick form modified SourceForgeTracker so that double-clicking on a topic launches the web page for that topic in a browser Neil added Pyker.hta and PykerLaunch.hta see the following URL for more info http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/PythonCard/766307 Andy added a TODO.txt to document short-term plans for PythonCard development Property Editor and resourceEditor sample were changed to use default size (-1, -1) values added enable and check menu items to menu.py see the url below and thread replies http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/PythonCard/766371 started some documentation for the Button class http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/PythonCard/764832 added display of .rsrc.py files in samples.py Patrick added dot notation support to the Font class Jeff and Neil provided some Unix screenshots These show we need to get sizers working to deal with variable size widgets and fonts on different platforms http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/PythonCard/763602 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/PythonCard/763659 res.py eval() changed to support using Windows-style line endings under Unix added "Redirect stdout to Shell" option to Debug menu Release 0.4.4.1 2001-08-31 added samples.py to launch the the various sample programs see samples\samples.py added readme.txt files to all samples that didn't already have one. the readme.txt is displayed as the 'description' for a sample Release 0.4.4 2001-08-30 added getting_started.html to docs\html added basic status bar support statusbar.py module see test_turtle.py for an example turtle sample updated test_turtle.py now uses a status bar and displays the time required to draw a design added line(x1, y1, x2, y2) method to turtle added extra parametes to FileDialog to support saving files see resourceEditor for an example see dialog.py for complete list of options added Namespace Viewer using PyFilling (part of PyCrust 0.6) fixed numerous Property Editor edit/display bugs widgets are now displayed in the proper order added Font support to all widgets Font class moved to font.py module the actual text descriptions of the fonts is going to change, so if you use them, just be aware that the format of the font descriptions will change by the next release a font can be passed to the Font dialog to set the initial font displayed commented out 'import warnings' for Python 2.0 support but PyCrust usage still means that you need Python 2.1.x if any Debug windows like the shell will be used fixed unitialized empty bitmaps on win98 added append method to Choice class added setFocus method to Widget dbBrowser sample updated to version 0.2 resourceEditor changes resourceEditor can now save .rsrc.py files make sure to only work on copies in case of bugs also some hand editing of .rsrc.py is still necessary depending on what you're trying to do Duplicate Widget menu item now causes the duplicate to be offset 10 pixels so it can be selected to select added template.rsrc.py for defaults worldclock sample demonstrates simple use of logging |
