OK, thanks - I didn't think there was a filter, but I wanted to cross
that off as a possible cause. And as someone who's posted to this list a
couple of times with the wrong address, that was the first thing I
checked :-) 

My missing messages aren't in the mailing list archives either, so I'll
put it down to bad luck and coincidence.

[Pythoncard-users] Windows installer problem

[Peter C. N. <spa...@le...>]

I am evaluating pythoncard for use in a book focused on new users who
will be learning how to program, and program in python.

Under debian linux, pythoncard installs and runs fine, but under
windows (w2k pro) the installer is failing.

I see that others have run into this problem.  Is this isolated or are
other windows users running into this as well?

Just for reference, from my experience on other Sourceforge lists, this
does seem to happen occasionally.  I find that sometimes, messages are
delayed from being posted for a few hours.  Less frequently, messages
get lost completely.  

In the last few weeks, I've had one message get completely lost, and
I've also had a few experiences where I've immediately received CC
replies from people, but where the messages didn't show up on the list
for quite a while.

There isn't a content filter on the list. The only restriction we have 
is that only registered users can post, anyone not registered will have 
their posts held for moderation. If they are on topic they will 
generally be accepted and turn up on the list.

[Pythoncard-users] [OT] Messages not getting through

[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]

Just a quick question....does the mailing list server employ a content
filter, or has anyone else had messages not making it to the list recently?

I sent one yesterday and one last Saturday on the "Using py2exe with
pythoncard" thread but they never made it.

Fingers crossed this one makes it...sorry for the off-topic post.

Brian,

  I think you might wanna try looking at the setup file that you're 
using with py2exe. It should look something like this:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
    version = "1.0",
    description = "your program name",
    name = "name",

    windows = ["your_program_here.py"],
    data_files = [
        ('', ['<Paula from archive>.rsrc.py', ], ),
    ]
)

distutils does not include PythonCard resource files by default into 
final dist directory (PythonCard does not "import" the resource file.. 
it opens it, so distutils would not be able to detect that). In this 
case, the missing file is your PythonCard resource file, which should be 
included as shown in the script. Then again, you could simply copy your 
resource file '<Paula from archive>.rsrc.py' into the dist directory 
after compiling. I reckon that would work.. it worked for me =)

If you still can't get it working, try reading this link - 
http://www.python.org/doc/current/dist/node12.html

Once more;

Can you explain what you are doing (with code extracts if possible) and 
detail any error messages that are output or unexpected behaviour you 
observe.

The configuration of your machine is probably not important. Please show 
me what you are typing at the command line and then what happens after that.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Compiling app with child windows

[Liam C. <cy...@gm...>]

Couple of things -

can you post the code that loads your child window?

I'm assuming that your child window is Settings\\UNIANDES\\Mis
documentos\\My Projects\\PAULA\\dist\\Main\\<Paula> from archive>.py

so is <Paula> from archive>.rsrc.py present? Is that the error?
I'm just a little unsure as to what your exact error is.

Regards,

Liam Clarke

PS Loading children windows is normally quite straight forward..., so
please do post your code

PythonCard should work with the unicode build of wxPython.

What, exactly, is the problem? Can you explain what you are doing (with

[Pythoncard-users] Compiling app with child windows

Hi everyone,

I recieve this error when launching my compiled app with child windows:

warning: use func(*args, **kwargs) instead of apply(func, args, kwargs)
warning: use func(*args, **kwargs) instead of apply(func, args, kwargs)
Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Documents and

Kevin Altis gave me a fix about how to compile child windows with the old 
pythoncard prototipe, but this should be fixed with the new versions, or 
maybe I am totally wrong about this error, if so any help would be very 
appreciated.

Thanks,

[Pythoncard-users] Text context menu

[Tim Z. <ti...@cc...>]

Hi All,

I have just started using PythonCard.
I've run into a problem creating a context menu
for a text field.
The context menu works for other widgets, but
when trying it on a text field the standard text
context menu overrides my custom one!

Is there any way to stop the standard context
menu overriding my events?

This is the code i have so far
------------------------------
from PythonCard import model
import wx, wxPython

class MyBackground(model.Background):

    def on_initialize(self, event):
        # if you have any initialization
        # including sizer setup, do it here
        self.initContextMenu()
        self.tar = event.target
        self.allowedContextClick = ['txtTest']
        #wx.EVT_RIGHT_UP(self, self.OnRightUp)
        
    def initContextMenu(self):
        
        self.popup = wx.Menu()
        mID = wx.NewId()
        self.popup.Append(mID, 'Test menu item 1', '')
        wx.EVT_MENU(self, mID, self.on_testMenu_command)
        
    def on_testMenu_command(self, event):
        widget = self.findFocus()
        print widget.name
        
    #def on_txtTest_mouseDown(self, event):
    #    self.PopupMenu(self.popup, event.position)
    
    def isAllowedContextClick(self, obj):
        if obj in self.allowedContextClick:
            return 1
        else:
            return 0
        
    def on_mouseContextUp(self, event):
        
        if self.isAllowedContextClick(event.target.name):
            x, y = event.target.position
            pos = x, y+25

(not exactly "putting rsrc.py with main.py" - but very similar)

This is actually fairly simple.  Basically, you just need to on_close
method.  From here, you can conditionally allow it to exit, print a message
or whatever.  Here is a (very) simple example:

[From noexit.py]
#!/usr/bin/python
"""
__version__ = "$Revision: 1.3 $"
__date__ = "$Date: 2004/04/14 02:38:47 $"
"""
from PythonCard import model, dialog

class MyBackground(model.Background):
    def on_initialize(self, event):
        pass
    def on_close(self, event):
        if self.components.ChkAllowExit.checked:
            event.skip()
        else:
            pass
            #dialog.alertDialog(self, "Check the box to allow closing", "No
Exit")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = model.Application(MyBackground)
    app.MainLoop()

[From noexit.rsrc.py]
{'application':{'type':'Application',
          'name':'Template',
    'backgrounds': [
    {'type':'Background',
          'name':'NoExit',
          'title':'Exit Example',
          'size':(250, 150),
         'components': [
{'type':'CheckBox',
    'name':'ChkAllowExit',
    'position':(80, 25),
    'label':'Allow Exit',
    },
] # end components
} # end background
] # end backgrounds
} }

If ChkAllowExit is not checked (default), nothing will happen.  You could
also change the pass to an alert or something similar.  If the user checks
the box, on_close will pass the close event on and the application will
close normally.

[Pythoncard-users] flatfileDatabase in a tabbed Notebook

[Simon H. <sim...@ma...>]

I like the flat file database example, but want to
extend it a bit. What I want is something visualy
like the addresses sample, with a list of records
on the left, and the etails of a record in a form
on the right.

The FlatFileDatabase object makes all fields in the form
'columns' in the database, so if I put a list box on the
form then each record in the database has a list box in it
with different contents in each list box - not what I want.

I recon I can get round this by putting a list box on the
left hand side of the form, and a tabbed notebook on the
right. I load the FlatFileDatabase app into a page in the
notebook and voila! It's contents are isolated to the
notebook page.

Some problems: I had to change the orriginal FlatFileDatabase
module so that it loads as a PageBackground rather than as
a Page. A few other small changes required, but it basicaly
works and I can start the app and all looks good!

The next problem, where I need help. How do I refer to
fields in the FlatFileDatabase from the main app? I
can't get at my data!

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if there is a way to disable closing my app when 
clicking on the X closing button on the top-right.

Thanks in advance,
