I can vouch for standaloneBuilder, as that's one of my little babies! :-)

It's a tool to help with converting PythonCard apps into full-blown Windows 
executables - take a look in tools\standaloneBuilder\doc for details and 
screenshots.

I've just recently checked an updated version into CVS, and I'll be posting a 
snapshot of the code as it stands on my website here:

http://www.linux2000.com/pm.html

This page has screenshots which show how the user interface has been updated 
since the previous version.

Thanks for all the feedback - I think the main thing that it shows is that 
(like most software projects unfortunately) PythonCard really needs some long 
hard work on the documentation. Somehow it's always more fun to work on the 
code than the docs, though...

Regarding resizing problems in Layout Editor:

I have the same problem.  I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.8, and using wxWidgets  
2.6.2.1.  I have found that when I first make a resource in Layout  
Editor, resizing a widget works.  But if I save it and load it later,  
resizing will not work.  I can click on the resize handles, but  
moving the mouse will move the widget instead of resizing it.

Regarding sizers, I think this is a big area of need too.  I've got a  
little make-shift solution, that I call in on_size() to recalculate  
widget sizes, but it should be built-in.  I prefer Mac OS X Interface  
Builder style resizing.

Ah - OK. I have never seen these errors - can you please send version =20
info (i.e. which platform, os version, python,  wx, wxpython versions =20
and PythonCard version) and I'll see if I can reproduce them (or =20

Yeah - that one was very irritating - I was on the point of simply =20
removing that error message, which was really only in there to let me =20
know that some "impossible" circumstance had happened and was being =20
ignored.

When you're
  - in the code editor (the recent one - in oneEditor/codeEditor)
  - and  you use the drop-down list to select a component
the second drop-down now shows a list of events (with a "+" sign next =20
to those which have handlers defined).

If you seelct one of those so marked, then the editor moves you to the =20
first line of that handler.
If you select a new one (i.e. not marked with a "+"), the editor =20
inserts a blank handler for that event (beware - it does this at the =20
current cursor position - so you should position yourself at the start =20
of a blank line between handlers before doing this).

Currently the resource editor provides you no way to see or edit the =20
source code, so making changes to the source while in the =20
resourceEditor would be (IMHO) quite unnatural, even dangerous. When =20
we (some day) have a single integrated editor, then it would make =20
sense. But today, while in the resource editor it shouldn't (again, =20
just IMHO) be able to touch the source code. Apart from anything else, =20
I often (usually) have both resource and code editors open at the same =20
time, so any source code changes would be either ignored or (perhaps) =20
lost due to subsequent writing out the source code frm the codeEditor.


Thanks again for the tracebacks - I'll take a look at them (but the =20
version info would also help).

True - but the new "layoutEditor" has been released (in =20

including the use of a single (larger) pane for propery editing (all =20

	Have you had a chance to look at Dabo? It addresses many of the concerns you expressed.
	
	It's quite actively being developed, and is growing in popularity among wxPython users looking for a simpler, more Pythonic approach to developing GUIs. It's been a few months since I've worked with PythonCard, but from what I remember, Dabo can do just about everything that PythonCard can, as well as a whole lot more.
	
	Our website is currently down, due to a major upgrade being done on our server (can you say 'reformat'? I knew you could!). But it should be back up within a day once I get all the kinks worked out with the change from Fedora to Ubuntu. But I at least wanted to point out that there is an alternative that might be what you are looking for.

A gazillion years ago we built an Xwindows tool similar to PythonCard.  We

So hats off to PythonCard,  If you want JBuilder, pay the $600.

At the risk of sounding overly blunt, if PythonCard fits your needs nicely, 
what's missing from 0.8.2 that you would expect to see if we were already at

In common with most other OSS projects, the PythonCard developers have day 
jobs, partners, kids, etc which require occasional attention. :-)

Don't hold back - if you've got some thoughts for new features and/or

All of the collective py2exe wisdom is in the mailing list archives. 
Alternatively the readme file accompanying the minimalStandalone sample 
gives instructions on bundling your PythonCard application with py2exe;

I imagine that PythonCard reads in your .rsrc file and evals it. It
doesn't seem to be finding the file (probably because it's in your
.exe and it's not looking there.) I don't know enough about py2exe or
PythonCard to help you solve the problem, but if you look at the code
in util.py for readAndEvalFile, and go over the py2exe docs you should
be able to figure out what's wrong. I suspect you need to get it to
find the file when it opens it using the mechanism in readAndEvalFile.

[Pythoncard-users] py2exe

[Wesley P. <bu...@gm...>]

I am trying to use py2exe to create a exe file for my program. I get the
following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "LBV.py", line 581, in <module>
  File "PythonCard\model.pyc", line 366, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 45, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\util.pyc", line 39, in readAndEvalFile
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anybody recognize error and know how to fix it?

Thanks

I think you are doing wxPython again. With Pythoncard using a text field 
named TextField1 and a list List1 copying the selection to the text 
field is as simple as this (no self.Bind needed):

    def on_List1_select(self, event):
        self.components.TextField1.text = 
self.components.List1.stringSelection

Cheers,

Yes. Here's an example:

        self.components.HtmlWindow.text = open('BPMHelp.html').read()
