Re: [Pythoncard-users] tree

[John H. <ec...@ya...>]

With the help of a debugger and plenty of Google searches, and a lot of guessing, I was able to invoke most of the wx tree functions.  It proves that the minimal tree wrapper does work.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] PDFWindow

[John H. <ec...@ya...>]

Without knowing what I am doing, I used htmlWindow as a sample and created a PDFWindow wrapper.  The problem is that when it chokes at the line:

            wx.activex.ActiveXWindow.__init__(self, parent,
                     wx.activex.CLSID('{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}'),
                     ID, pos, size, style, name)

inside wx\lib\pdfwin.py.  I have no clue what to do.

My use of the tree control hasn't been much more sophisticated than the 
example. I did add a couple of extra method aliases to 
PythonCard\components\tree.py because the ones already there are only 
enough to support the example. So in __init__ I added

setExpanded = wx.TreeCtrl.Expand
clearTree = wx.TreeCtrl.DeleteAllItems

so that having built the tree from a dictionary I could open up all of 
the nodes at startup, and I could tear it down and rebuild it 
differently later on.

Does anybody have more examples on the tree control?  The minimum tree only show very simple functions and I'm able to do those.  But there is no information on how I can traverse the tree - start with the root, get to the NextChild, get the label, delete a branch, programmatically expand or contract a branch, ... - all the standard things one would do with a tree...

[Pythoncard-users] Drag-&-drop from the Windows Explorer?

[John H. <ec...@ya...>]

Hi list,

Is it possible to accept a Drag-n-drop event from the IE running under Windows?  In other words, if I drag a file from the drive folder and drop it onto a Pythoncard window, is there a way to raise an event and get, perheps the name of the file?

If so, does anybody has any sample code?

Thanks,

[Pythoncard-users] Multiple Selection List

[Michele C. <mca...@in...>]

Hi,
following the same approach of PythonCard's components, I
tried to add a multiselection list (as opposed to the single
selection one avaialable 'List') by simply copy-paste-modify
the code for List in list.py under components.  
Aside from the type field, which contains LB_MULTIPLE
instead of LB_SINGLE, a couple of changes in the getter and
setter and the class name not much was needed.
Problems arise though when I open the layout editor.  First
of all, the MultiSelList doesn't appear in the components
list.  Furthermore, when I click on List to instantiate a
new layout component, it actually instantiate a MultiSelList
instead of the usual List. I suppose there is something
going on with the registration of the class with the engine,
as the console spits an error out because the class key
lookup for MultiSelList in the component class dictionary
failed (in registry.py).

I also tried adding the new component in a another folder
appcomponents as that seems the way suggested.  No luck.

Do you have any hint on what it takes to add this new
class/component or alternatively extend the current 'List'
to be either ways (multi selection AND single selection
(default so that it does not clash with the tools already
developed)?

My Best Regards,
Thanks for this amazingly simple GUI framework.

If you use the Message Watcher window (-m from the command-line) you  
can see which events are firing when you type in your window. The  
keyDown, keyUp, and keyPress events are your choices for processing.  
Chances are you don't actually want a key event bound to the window  
itself, since whatever component that has focus will actually be  
getting the event and it will pass up the chain to the window. So,  
chances are you'll have something like

on_keyPress(self, event):
         keyCode = event.keyCode
         if keyCode == 13:
             print "user pressed return"
         event.skip()

If you use the findfiles tool you can search for
on_.*_key
within the PythonCard folder and see all the samples and tools that  
use keyDown, keyUp, and keyPress events.

[Pythoncard-users] How to bind a keyevent to a Python Card window?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm trying to bind a key event to a Python card window. Something like:

self.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.onKey)

The "onKey" function should be triggered whenever a key is pressed when the
window has focus. The event isn't being caught though.

Wondering if anyone might have any tips?

[Pythoncard-users] util.py change to support Python 2.6.x on Mac

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

I just got done upgrading to Leopard (finally) on a couple of machines  
and decided to revisit the Python 2.6 problem with any sample or tool  
that makes use of paths such as the codeeditor module. It appears  
there was just a poorly coded hack to support bundlebuilder on the Mac  
that needed a tweak in PythonCard/util.py.

def main_is_frozen():
     if sys.platform == 'darwin':
         # this is a temporary hack for bundlebuilder
         return not (sys.executable == '/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
Python' or \
                     sys.executable == '/Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
Python' or \
                     sys.executable == '/Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
Python')
     else:
         return (hasattr(sys, "frozen") or # new py2exe, McMillan
                 hasattr(sys, "importers") # old py2exe
                 or imp.is_frozen("__main__")) # tools/freeze, cx_freeze


becomes

def main_is_frozen():
     if sys.platform == 'darwin':
         # this is a temporary hack for bundlebuilder
         return not (sys.executable.endswith('Resources/Python.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/Python')
     else:
         return (hasattr(sys, "frozen") or # new py2exe, McMillan
                 hasattr(sys, "importers") # old py2exe
                 or imp.is_frozen("__main__")) # tools/freeze, cx_freeze


This is still a hack and possibly needs a better solution, but at  
least it appears to allow codeEditor, tabcodeEditor, and the  
resourceEditor among other things to load. Hopefully, this will make  
it easier to find other issues that need to be addressed for  
PythonCard to run correctly with Python 3.x

BTW, if you are messing with various versions of Python on the Mac  
remember that PythonLauncher uses the same settings regardless of  
which version you run from the Finder. In the Terminal, you probably  
need to edit the .cshrc in your home directory if you're trying to run  
python 2.5 by default after installing 2.6. The MacPython installer  
adds the following lines

# Setting PATH for MacPython 2.5
# The orginal version is saved in .cshrc.pysave
set path=(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin  
$path)

# Setting PATH for MacPython 2.6
# The orginal version is saved in .cshrc.pysave
set path=(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin $path)

You can always run the version you want by using an explicit path  
like /usr/local/bin/python2.5 or /usr/local/bin/python2.6

I don't think there is a reason for you to uninstall other than  
saving minor amounts of disk space. Doing a new install with the  
package versions I recommended should put in position to have  
everything running. You can check that Python and wxPython are  
running correctly from the Terminal and Finder and then do the  
PythonCard install.

I don't know offhand how you go about uninstalling user versions of  
Python safely from the Mac.

wxPython has a uninstall_wxPython.py file that should deal with most  
versions of wxPython that you might have installed.

I don't know if a GUI package manager was ever done for Python on the  
Mac or not. It would probably alleviate some of these problems.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Help Installing Python on a Mac

[Terry M. <ter...@gl...>]

Hi again, Ignatz,

A couple of points, then I'm going to leave you in Neil and Kevin's  
hands -- they actually understand this stuff ;)

1) I don't understand why Idle isn't opening, but it's probably a  
clue ...

> to work.
> I get perform simple commands (add, multiply, print) but haven't

2) That's a start -- at least Python itself is installed/working.

3) Neil mentioned the wxPython 2.8 demos/documentation package -- I'd  
forgotten, but that's what installs a wxPython folder into your  
Applications folder. You can find it here:

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

After installing, try running the wxPython Demo app ... that should  
provide another clue as to what is or isn't working.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Help Installing Python on a Mac

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

Sorry about the confusing docs.

General links:

Python 2.5.x
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/
This is the last stable release of 2.5.x.
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.4/python-2.5.4-macosx.dmg
"The Universal OS X image contains an installer for python 2.5.4 that  
works on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later, on both PPC and Intel Macs. The  
compiled libraries include both bsddb and readline."

wxPython
http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#binaries
You probably want a 2.5 universal Mac build.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx- 
unicode-2.8.10.1-universal-py2.5.dmg
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-docs- 
demos-2.8.10.1-universal-py2.5.dmg

You must always match the version of wxPython to the version of  
Python that you are using. Since the various versions of Mac OS X  
include their own copies of Python, the safest thing to do is pick  
which version of Python you want using a universal installer, match  
it up with the right wxPython, and then test that wxPython is working  
properly from the command-line and from the Finder. This leaves the  
Python (and sometimes wxPython) that comes with your OS intact for  
any system utilities that make use of it.

Once you've done the Python and wxPython installs, PythonCard should  
install fine assuming you specify the Python you just installed or it  
is defaulting to the right Python in the Terminal as Neil commented  
on in his message.

There are code tweaks that probably need to be made to PythonCard to  
conform to Python 3.x standards and Python 2.6.x largely exists to  
support transitioning to 3.x, which is why 2.5.x is recommended.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Help Installing Python on a Mac

[Ignatz R. <rat...@gm...>]

Thanks, Kevin.

I take it you're recommending a fresh install.  Is that correct.  If  
so, should I first uninstall the version I've got now?  If yes, how?

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Help Installing Python on a Mac

[Ignatz R. <rat...@gm...>]

Hi Terry,

Thanks for this.

I found a folder labeled Demo in HD/apps/MacPython 2.5/Extras.  I tried
clicking on one of the files (dates.py).  An icon came up making it look
like IDLE was trying to launch.  It then disappeared and nothing happened.

There's also a folder called Demo.Mac in Extras.  I tried double clicking
one of the .py files in it too.  Same result.

I also tried opening one of the .py files in Demo.Mac with PythonLauncher.
I got an error message that says:

Can’t open file “/Applications/MacPython
2.5/Extras/Demo.Mac/applescript/makedisk.py”.

A message in Terminal also came up saying:

I've played around with typing "python" into terminal.  That seems to work.
I get perform simple commands (add, multiply, print) but haven't gotten any
further than that.

When I try double clicking on IDLE, it looks like it tries to launch then
disappears.

Any ideas.


Thanks,
IR

Hi Ignatz,

I'm pretty much of a beginner myself, but I think I can help you with  
a couple of points below, although unfortunately not with your main  
problem.

Look for a wxPython folder in your Applications folder ... or search  
your computer for 'wxPython Demo'.

It does. The  [No-lle-McAfees-Computer:~] nmcafee% prompt is a Unix  
prompt. Type 'python' (without the quotes) and hit return, which will  
start Python and give you the >>> prompt.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Help Installing Python on a Mac

[Ignatz R. <rat...@gm...>]

Neil,
Thank you again.  This is very helpful.

I tried your suggest and typed "python" into Terminal.  I got back the
following:

Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

I then typed "print "HelloWord!" and got back the following:

HelloWorld!
>>>

This is certainly a positive development. Does this mean that everything is
working properly, or is that too optimistic?  Do I need to type "python"
each time when I start up terminal to get to the correct prompt.  Anything
else I need to do/know/test?

Sorry for all the newbie questions.  This clearly isn't as simple as the
books would lead you to belive.  I greatly appreciate your help.

The wxPython 2.8 demos/documentation are a separate package, so if you 
didn't explicitly download them then I'm guessing you don't have them.

That page makes a number of assumptions, the big one being that you're 
familiar with Python coding, or you've spent time reading the useful links.

Considering how difficult it is for more experienced developers like me 
to get PythonCard up and running on the ever-changing-version game that 
is Python/wxPython/OSX, I'm not surprised you've hit problems if you've 
never done this before.

'print "HelloWorld!"' won't work from the Terminal because you need to 
be running the python interpreter - the Terminal shell (tcsh) doesn't 
understand "print". Now..."echo"...that works...but we're going off topic.

Try this from the Terminal, to see what state your Python setup is in:

python

You should get something like this:

Lightning:~ nkh$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 13 2009, 10:26:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>>

and if you try print...

 >>> print "HelloWorld!"
HelloWorld!
 >>>

Does that work on your Mac?

Do non-PythonCard programs work OK? When you installed wxPython 2.8, did 
the demo applications work OK (and do they still work OK now)?

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Help Installing Python on a Mac

[Ignatz R. <rat...@gm...>]

Hi Neil,

Thanks for getting back to me.  I'm not sure whether the demos work. I  
just followed the directions.  I didn't see anything about demos.  If  
you can tell me where they are and what to do I can try them.

A couple of updates.  I changed the .py and .pyw files back to open  
with IDLE instead of Pythonlauncher.  It didn't help.

Also, as suggested in the book Hello World!, I tried typing "print  
"HelloWorld!" after the prompt in Terminal. I got an error message  
saying:

  [No-lle-McAfees-Computer:~] nmcafee% print "HelloWorld!"
tcsh: print: Command not found.

Note that the prompt does not look like the one in the book (ie   
">>>>>").  It is:
  [No-lle-McAfees-Computer:~] nmcafee%

I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
IR

Hello,
I am trying to install Python on my son's iMac running OSX 10.3.9.   
But every time I try to launch a .py file I get an error message:  
"Application Python has unexpectedly quit."  The message from the  
Terminal is:

To install Python I started at: http://www.manning.com/sande/Installation_Instructions.html#mac

Everything installed fine until step 5: "Follow this link to install  
PythonCard. (Choose the correct version of Mac OS X, as described on  
the PythonCard page.)"

That led me to here: http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/installation.html

I followed the instructions for installing the version for Apple  
Panther, here: http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/macosx_panther_installation.html

The only differences were that I had already installed Python2.5 as  
instructed previously, so I didn't install MacPython-Panther-2.3-2.dmg  
and I had already intalled wxpython2.8 so I didn't install   
wxPythonOSX-2.5.2.8-panther-Py2.3.dmg

I installed pythoncard, as instructed.

I did not understand the "Confirming Installation" instruction and,  
so, did not do that.

On the "Configuring PythonLauncher," I selected a .py file, opened the  
Information window and switched the Open With to PythonLauncher.  I  
also selected the the box to open all .py files with PhthonLauncher.   
I then did the same thing with .pyw files.

On the Acid Test, I double-clicked the minimal.py file.  I got an  
error message saying, "Application Python has unexpectedly quit."

I checked to make sure that wxPython and PythonCard are in the site- 
packages folder in Python's Lib folder.  (The wxPython folder in lib/ 
python2.5/site-pacages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode.  The Pythoncard folder is  
in lib/python2.5/site-packages.)

I tried restarting the computer then double-clicked minimal.py again.   
Same result.

I followed the rest of the instructions at: http://www.manning.com/sande/Installation_Instructions.html#mac 
  and installed EasyGUI, SPE and One Big Zip.  (I put the EasyGUI83  
folder in Mac HD/library/frameworks/pythonframe.frameworks/versions/ 
2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages.)

I restarted the computer, double clicked minimal.py.  Same error  
message.

Does anyone know how to fix this?  Any help would be greatly  
appreciated.  I know nothing about programing, so the more jargon-free  
the instructions the better.

Please email responses to rat...@gm...
