So should we - change 'about' from a command back to an event (i.e. edit rsrc.py) - change the text of the walkthrough to say 'File/About' in those places where it currently says 'File/Exit' I'll do that (tomorrow), unless I've heard otherwise (or seen a commit :-) -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

There is no real need to use a command unless you want the same event handler to deal with multiple menu items or more commonly a menu item and button. I think what happened with this file and resource is that I changed all the samples and tools to just use a command for the File->Exit menu and made the handler part of the main Background class and since I was doing global changes this slipped through the cracks. So for the most part File->Exit is always taken care of and it can be ignored. We need to have some kind of event handler in the starter1.py file so having an about item or something like that makes sense. ka |

Some time ago a problem was reported with walkthrough1 and the attached source file starter1.py, which I fixed. I didn't realize there were two more problems (just realized when someone updated the SF bug report). Firstly, the example starts out using the "About" menu selection and later switches to talking about the "Exit" menu selection (I believe the code used to use on_menuFileExit_select, and now uses on_menuFileAbout_select. Secondly, the resource file is set up for the more recent convention with menus - using 'command': 'about, and therefore needs the code changed to use on_about_command. (or the command option needs to be removed from the rsrc file). I'm inclined to think the right thing to do is to change to use "on_about_command", since that is the convention used by the current menuBuilder. I would probably rename it to on_editFileAbout_command. Suggestions ? -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

I was going to suggest :
- wait 2 weeks for any error reports (and fix them :-)
- put in any updates waiting e.g.
-- I have undo/redo for layoutEditor done and reasonably tested
-- updates to walkthrough docs ?
-- possibly samples / more docs for layoutEditor
-- Phil may have some quick standaloneBuilder updates
-- I really should re-do the layoutEditor's
propertyeditorWindow for Mac :-(
it's far uglier than I thought I remembered.
- do all that in cvs, get out an 0.8.3 from cvs
- *then* go to svn
There's kind of an assumption in there that the release / upload process
is safer second time through, which may not be justified.

I can't do a cvs diff now - gives me an error FATAL ERROR: Network error: No route to host. cvs [diff aborted]: end of file from server. but changing the Root file within each directory works, and I can then do a cvs diff.

I'm using Win XP and the command line version of cvs My PythonCard tree has a CVS directory in each directory, which contains a fie called ROOT, containing a sinle line like :ext:ale...@cv...:/cvsroot/pythoncard If I manually edit that to say :ext:ale...@py...:/cvsroot/pythoncard then I can (apparently successfully) use cvs in that directory.

Really ? Is that what's supposed to happen ? I confess, I had no idea .... in fact, I hadn't really noticed that Ctrl+shift+R was described as Run with Interpreter. For me, OS X 10.4 + Pythoncard latest (or nearly latest) from CVS + codeEditor + samples/counter.py, what I get is - no prompt in the terminal session window - typing to the terminal window does nothing - application runs OK - File / Exit from app - and *then* the prompts, and my typing and any responses to it all show up in the terminal window. Tried on WinXP, and basically the same thing happens (it's set up to open a new terminal window rather than use the one from the codeEditor) - no prompt visible, print statement output appears in terminal window, typing produces no response, until the app exits, and then all prompts, typing and output appear. As I said above - I had no idea that it was supposed to be possible to type to an interpreter this way. I have, as far as I can remember, always used Ctrl+shift+R in codeEditor to run the apps, because that way the console window remains open, allowing me to examine any output until I eventually do my Ctrl+D to close the terminal window. So I've never consciously tried typing into that terminal window - but I don't recall seeing any ">>>" prompt until the app exits; that's how it's been, AFAIK, since I started using Pythoncard about two years ago and 0.8.1 (or so). -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Thanks to Alex's talent for finding bizarre combinations of button clicks and file placement, together with a co-operative end user, I've been able over the past 4 weeks to get standaloneBuilder vastly improved, to the point where it's ready to be included in the 0.8.2 release. I've checked the current code into the new CVS server at SF - I'm afraid that there have been so many changes since my last round of commits that I've checked the whole lot in with a generic log message, I'll keep future changes documented more carefully. Alex, I'll be away on a family outing for all of Saturday, but drop me an e-mail if you manage to get 0.8.2 licked into shape ready for release and I can get started on producing updated RPMs for Mandrake.

Not an official developer, but sometimes early adopter, I didn't realize you wanted responses to make things official. The SourceForge CVS has been cranky at times, while Subversion for other sites has been much better for me. I'll let you know if this CVS change makes life easier.

Sorry I didn't chime in; my vote probably doesn't count for much since I'm not currently a contributor. +1 for moving to SVN. I recently made that transition at work and am glad that I did. Overall, it's easier to use, and easier to manage, and can be integrated nicely with Trac. |

Please note this change in the SourceForge CVS service, happening this weekend. The biggest impact is that you'll need to use 'pythoncard.cvs.sourceforge.net' where you would previously use 'cvs.sourceforge.net'. Whilst we're talking about version control, there hasn't been any response to my proposal to move to Subversion so I'm officially retracting it.

It turns out that the problem I described in my last post here apparently only applies to a field that has been placed, edited, and then moved. I deleted the old field and created a new one and I was able to resize it both vertically and horizontally. Clearly a bug but equally clearly not fatal once you know it's not permanent. Dan |

I was poking around with PythonCard this evening after an extended absence and decided to run through the walkthroughs I wrote a few years ago. Imagine my surprise when I tried to resize a TextField object's width. No handle will drag the width. Changing the width explicitly in the ResourceEditor window has no effect and in fact the value reverts to its original setting even after editing it directly. Is this bug documented? Is it an OS X peculiarity? There must be a workaround or else how is anyone building apps using PythonCard? Dan |

[ if you didn't see it, I posted a message on pythoncard-users with some
of the background ]
Problem is in finding resource files for modules in sub-directories of
the application, and is specific to Mac and to Python2.4
In model.py, we do

> rsrc = resource.ResourceFile(filename).getResource()
in util.py, we do
> # Thomas Heller's function for determining

Clearly, the fact that we have that specific test using a Python 2.3
path is a problem. I have temporarily got around this (for my own Mac
system) by changing that line to
return not (sys.executable ==
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python'
or
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python')
Note I assumed that 2.4 would (sensibly) not be installed in the System
Library, but even so this won't work for 2.5, and could fail for other
installation possibilities. If anyone who understands this better knows
how this *should* be solved, please speak up. :-)
Otherwise, I'll commit this band-aid for now - I think it (or better)
should be in 0.8.2, because I think there is more interest in Python 2.4
for Mac (py2app requires 2.4 or greater, the Universal build is out for
2.4, etc.) Since I have this change to do, I'll also fix a typo in the
docs directory before re-doing the builds intended to be the release of
0.8.2.
Phil - let me know whether you think we will be able get the better
standaloneBuilder in soon, or whether we should simply hold
standaloneBuilder out of this release.

I would like to know what I need to get setup client-wise on the Mac, Linux and Windows and how the standard actions of adding, deleting, and updating directories and files differs so we know what the day to day usage will be like. I understand Subversion is supposed to be way better, I'm just ignorant on the details. It would be really nice if more people on the mailing list could at least keep up-to-date with the anonymous checkout version of PythonCard, so maybe the current Subversion client tools would help with that. ka |

All, Now that SourceForge offers Subversion [1] repositories [2] I'm proposing that we move the PythonCard source to it from CVS. Any arguments against? If not we'll need to agree a commit embargo so that I can migrate our code to Subversion and we can then all switch. Let me know your thoughts. I will, of course, do nothing without Kevin's say so.
