In which case, my brief attempt at helping has come to a grinding halt :-(

I was going to try out py2exe this weekend on one of my PythonCard
projects to see if I could replicate your problem here, but for some
reason the py2exe installer falls over on my XP machine (double-clicking
the self-installing exe brings up an illegal instruction in the 16-bit
DOS subsystem!).

[Pythoncard-users] Record deletion bug in flatfileDatabase

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

The deleteRecord method in the Document class doesn't
update self.documentChanged. If you open a database
and only delete records, the file won't be updated,
even if you do an explicit save, because the save
method checks self.documentChanged and does nothing if
it's set to zero.

If you delete some records, but also add some new records,
adding the new records causes sel.documentChanged to be
updated and the deletions 'stick'.

Only one line of code needs to be added. Here's the fixed
method, up to the new line:

    def deleteRecord(self):
        # should probably do a dialog here to give the user
        # a chance to cancel
        if self.current != -1:
            del self.records[self.current]
            self.documentChanged = 1 # Bug fix
.....

Is this the right list for bug reports? If not, where do I
take this?

[Pythoncard-users] problem when closing my app

[Brian D. <deb...@ho...>]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem, well my app has child windows and each one has the 
validation on closing like this:

def on_close(self, event):
    self.Show(0)

but when I close any child window by clicking on the close window [X] icon 
all the app shuts down.

I dont know why this happens, and I dont this this happened before to me.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

PD:

I am using PythonCard 0.8 and Python 2.3 on windows.

[Pythoncard-users] Text length

[Brian D. <deb...@ho...>]

Hi everyone,

I would like some ideas about setting or controling the length of the text 
of a widget like a textfield.

Maybe if I do something like this:

def on_widgetName_keyPress(self, event):
     if len(self.components.widgetName.text) == 10:
         return
     else:
         event.pass

I havent tried this yet, but this shows pretty much what I need to do.

Another thing that I wonder is how to show the list of options of a combobox 
or make this visible all the time.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

[Pythoncard-users] Tutorial problem

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

Ok, I found the problem with the tutotrial, the indentation shown
is wrong. The function:

	def on_incrBtn_mouseClick(self, event):

should be indented to put it into the application's class definition.

It's shown correctly indented in a screenshot later in the tutorial,
but the first screenshot of the code you're shown is incorrectly
indented.

[Pythoncard-users] Install problem with python 2.4

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

I'm getting a similar problem to Dan. The Windows
installer bombed out about 80% of the way through.

However Pythoncard does seem to be installed and the
sample apps seem to work ok.

However I've been workig through the first two tutorials,
and neither work. The sample apps aren't as described.

The function you're told to modify in the first tutorial isn't
in the script, and I've modified the Minimal app as described
in the second tutorial (the Counter app) but it doesn't work.

Yet as I said, the sample apps all seem to run ok, very
odd.

It looks like you're missing "button" from the list of imported
PythonCard components:

from PythonCard.Components import button

I forgot to include the staticline component a couple of days ago when
using the McMillan Installer and got a virtually identical traceback when
running the app.

[Pythoncard-users] py2exe ( McMillan installer )

[Stefan K. <pon...@ya...>]

Just some notes for those trying to build stand alone apps.  I was able
to build a complete stand alone executable using the McMillan
installer, thanks to Phil Edwards for the invaluable documentation!

It is possible to use the McMillan installer to build a single
executable  ( using its 'onefile' option ) with the rsrc files
included, the Inno tool is not required.  Also this works on unix as
well as Windows.  The trick is to add the rsrc files to the EXE 'TOC'
class in the installer .spec file.  If you give the rsrc files in the
spec file a typecode of 'BINARY' ( rather than 'DATA' ) then they are
bundled in the .exe.  The exe is really a self extracting archive, all
the dependent dlls ( and now the rsrc files as well ) get unzipped into
a tmp dir when you run the .exe.  The location of this tmp directory is
available in os.environ['_MEIPASS2'], weird I know, but it works.  You
need then to pass that filename ( with the full path to the 'tmp' copy
of the rsrc ) to the Application() constructor.  Here is some sample
code..

from the Installer '.spec' file..

p = path_to_your_app
...
exe = EXE( pyz,
           a.scripts,
           a.binaries + [('YourFile.rsrc.py', p + 'YourFile.rsrc.py',
'BINARY' )],
           name='YourName.exe',
           debug=0,
           strip=0,
           upx=0,
           console=0,
           icon=p + 'yourfile.ico')


and then in your application code...

installer_dir = './'
if os.environ.has_key( '_MEIPASS2' ):
    installer_dir = os.environ['_MEIPASS2']
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = model.Application(YourFile, installer_dir +
'YourFile.rsrc.py')
    app.MainLoop()


Also you have to have Mark Hammond's win2all extensions installed for
the icon assignment to work on windows.  The McMillian installer can be
found here..

[Pythoncard-users] Win 2003 installation

[<Adr...@so...>]

Hello,
        This is from Sk...@bl... on the list.

I have been using wonderful PythonCard for a long time without much 
problem but I have encountered something
while trying to install and use it on Windows 2003 server.

I built an application at home over Christmas on python 2.3.3 
wxpython2.5.3.1 ansi and pywin32-203 for python 2.3 and pythoncard 0.8.1 
on an XP pro machine works fine.

I took the python script and rsrc to work where I used Active-States 2.3 
and loaded pythonCard 0.8.1 ( I also put the mfc71.exe file in the 
system32 directory. Cant remember why at the moment).
 
When I ran it on the win 2003 server on the work machine, the first time 
it ran fine except the components did not have their default values, then 
the second run the combo box was not populated and then the .updatetext 
function of a textfield was not working. 

If I killed PythonWin and re-ran it ,it was again fine for 1 run of the 
app.

I decided to uninstall everything and use python 2.3.4, wxpython 2.5.3.1 
ansi, win32python 203 for 2.3 and pythoncard 0.8.1.
When I came to install PythonCard i got 2 dialogue boxes at the end with 
the captions 'freopen stderr' and then 'freopen stout'

This brings me back to the point where the combo box is not filled after 
any but the first run of the app for a given run of pythonwin  IDE. No 
errors are produced

In the python code I generate a list and then assign it to the combobox 
component.
If I populate the combo box manually - by putting the items in the 
resource editor then they remain populated but the .updateText function no 
longer works and in all cases the defaults are not present for all the 
components.

I hope this is enough information and that there is something stupidly 
simple that I am missing.

Thanks in advance

It looks like you don't have .py files associated with the Python=20
interpreter on your computer. Have you installed the optional Python for=20
Windows Extensions [1] ? I believe it is this package which does the=20
association which will then allow you to double click a Python script in=20
Windows Explorer and get it to run correctly.

Alternatively, you can always run Python scripts from within a command=20
window. I don't have an XP machine handy but from the Start menu you=20
should be able to select 'Run ...' and type either 'cmd.exe' or=20
'command.com' to get a command window. Then simply change to the correct=20
directory with something like;

C:\> cd c:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\PythonCard\samples\minimal

and run the sample application by typing;

c:\ ... >  python minimal.py

	You would have to query the database for all the possible values=20=

before you could do this. Otherwise, you'll be making a full round-trip=20=

to the database with every keystroke. Then compare the typed text with=20=

the sorted results of your query, and then update the control as=20

this won't work all that well with a table with several million=20

Re: [Pythoncard-users] database aware widgets

Not currently. PythonCard is concentrating on simpler building blocks at 
the moment.

Before we implement a database aware widget we would first have to wrap 
an implementation of a wxGrid object. This is actually a lot harder than 
it looks because wxGrid objects are complex beasties.

To remain true to PythonCard's mission "Simple things should be simple 
and complex things should be possible" we should probably produce a 
number of different widgets that use a wxGrid rather than simply 
wrapping it.

For instance we could have one component for read-only viewing of data 
that allows the presentation (fonts, colours, etc.) to be changed, 
another which allows changing, adding or removing data but in a fixed 
layout, etc. It should then be possible to take one of these components 
and either make it data aware within your application or produce a new 
data bound component.

I have done a little dabbling in this area but as yet haven't got 
anything workable. If anyone else has a patch it will, as ever, be more 
than welcome.

Regards,
Andy

Fwd: [Pythoncard-users] Using py2exe with pythoncard

[Luanne C. <lua...@gm...>]

Hi,

I too am trying to use py2exe for a simple PythonCard application. I
followed the guidelines in this thread, but am stuck with a couple of
issues. The first is, when I use py2exe, I get the following message
at the end of a huge stream of output:

The following modules appear to be missing
['Image', 'win32evtlog', 'win32evtlogutil']

However, the dist directory does get created and I can see the exe.
When I try to run the exe, this is the output I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "AutoPhoto.py", line 181, in ?
 File "PythonCard\model.pyc", line 337, in __init__
 File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 48, in getResource
 File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 86, in __init__
 File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 91, in __init__
 File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 91, in __init__
 File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 96, in __init__
 File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 139, in enforceSpec
 File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 30, in loadComponentModule
ImportError: cannot import module 'button

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much,
Luanne
