You need to specifically import the component modules that you use in=20
your resource file, but your initial problem is that you need to=20
included the .rsrc.py and any other data files you use either by=20
manually copying them into the directory or just including them in the=20=

py2exe data files list. If you look at the minimalStandalone sample=20
you'll see setup.py ...

from distutils.core import setup

setup( name =3D "minimal",
        console =3D ["minimal.py"],
        data_files =3D [ (".", ["readme.txt", "minimal.rsrc.py"]) ]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use py2exe on a small pythoncard app I made but when I
try to run the exe it says errors occured and in the log file it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "JobRater.py", line 60, in ?
  File "PythonCard\model.pyc", line 329, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 45, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\util.pyc", line 30, in readAndEvalFile
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'JobRater.rsrc.py'

Unfortunately I'm not sure what the correct method for using py2exe
with pythonCard is so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or
what.  This is my setup.py file:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(windows=3D["JobRater.py"])

And then I just call it as instructed on the py2exe website:

>>python setup.py py2exe

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?  Below I'll paste JobRater.py
and JobRater.rsrc.py just in case there's something wrong in those.

Thanks,

Greg

Subject: [Pythoncard-users] addMethod, dynamic method binding

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

To whoever implemented the above, thanks heaps. There I was, racking
my newbish brain as to how to accomplish this, a wxPython evangelising
acquaintance considered it too difficult to do, so in desperation I
rtfm'ed one last time, and there, down the bottom, was THE answer.

So, a big thanks to the person who created the above (I'm assuming
Kevin Altis), and also to the person who added that note to the docs.
I had fun trying to explain to my wife why I was doing a happy dance.

[Pythoncard-users] Using py2exe with pythoncard

[<gre...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use py2exe on a small pythoncard app I made but when I
try to run the exe it says errors occured and in the log file it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "JobRater.py", line 60, in ?
  File "PythonCard\model.pyc", line 329, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 45, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\util.pyc", line 30, in readAndEvalFile
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'JobRater.rsrc.py'

Unfortunately I'm not sure what the correct method for using py2exe
with pythonCard is so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or
what.  This is my setup.py file:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(windows=["JobRater.py"])

And then I just call it as instructed on the py2exe website:

>>python setup.py py2exe

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?  Below I'll paste JobRater.py
and JobRater.rsrc.py just in case there's something wrong in those.

Thanks,

Greg

[Pythoncard-users] Install on OS X with Fink

[Phil T. <phi...@fr...>]

Hi All,

I'm excited to get PythonCard installed, but I'm wondering which Python I 
should use. I have both the native OS X Python as well as Fink's Python, 
so when I installed PythonCard, it went into /sw/lib/python2.3, rather 
than /Library/Python. As a result, when I run minimal.py, for example, I 
get this:

PhilBook:/sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PythonCard/samples/minimal user$ 
./minimal.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./minimal.py", line 8, in ?
     from PythonCard import model
   File "/sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PythonCard/model.py", line 24, in 
?
     from wxPython.wx import wxPySimpleApp, wxFrame, wxMessageDialog, 
wxICON_EXCLAMATION, wxOK, wxVERSION_STRING
ImportError: No module named wxPython.wx

What's the best way of getting around this error message? I imagine it has 
something to do with the two python's, with the wxPython stuff being 
installed under one python and PythonCard being installed with the other 
one, right?

[Pythoncard-users] Adding a Grid control to Pythoncard app

[<Pau...@mn...>]

I have successfully created a stand-alone grid control using only wxPython 
and tweaked it to behave exactly (well almost) the way I want to.  How 
would I go about integrating this into my Pythoncard app? Is there a way 
to do it?  Is there any timetable yet for when a wxGrid control will be 
added to Pythoncard's resource editor?

BTW, I love Pythoncard.  It's also very nifty that it's a wrapper for 
wxPython so you can add little enhancements here and there where 
Pythoncard doesn't have it covered.  Good work.

Thanks,

Paul.

According to the web site they changed to the MIT license at the

You can call any event method just like you call any other method, just 
pass None as the parameter and then make sure your event handler either 
doesn't use the event argument or checks whether it is None and uses 
one of the component methods to get the selection if it is None.

[Pythoncard-users] Question about wxHtmlEasyPrinting

[Smith, F. <F....@te...>]

I know this not directly related to PythonCard but I thought that some
of you that are pretty wx knowledgeable may be able to enlighten me.
Without getting into a lot of details, my PythonCard application uses
the PrintText function of wxHtmlEasyPrinting. Is there a way of avoiding
the Printer Setup dialog from being invoke every time I call PrintText?
It's a major hassle because the application needs to go to the PrintText
function often (Don't ask ... it's a user requirement).

Any advice would be really appreciated.

I take that back.  I should not have said that
installing from source was "better" in this case.  The
rpms offered some nice touches and conveniences. 
However, I was able to install PythonCard from source
very easily.  So, the rpms are better, but installing
from source is not that bad.

PythonCard itself has no C code, it is pure Python, so just download 
the tar.gz and run

python setup.py install

making sure that "python" is your Python 2.3 installation.

In general, you can't do much with wxPython or PythonCard until the 
MainLoop() has been started, so you would want to do your 
initialization in the on_initialize event handler instead.

However, if you do want to access the main background, you would need 
to do it like so:

app.backgrounds[0].foo(emailaddr, passwd, clientVer)

Obviously you would need to initialize emailaddr, passwd, and clientVer 
before calling foo.

Since PythonCard doesn't really take advantage of using multiple 
backgrounds, the current list structure is overkill, so backgrounds[0] 
type of references will probably be changed to just background in the 
next release or two.

Wizards and toolbars would be nice. I won't be doing much coding this 
month though, so it will be a while before I take a look at your wizard 
code. Andy Todd started an implementation for a simple Toolbar class 
once, but I'm not sure how far he took it. It should be possible to do 
an implementation similar to the PythonCard StatusBar class so that 
there is a default one you can get easily and if you need a complex 
ToolBar you could roll your own class and do whatever you want in pure 
wxPython.

Mail.Mail.foo(self.emailaddr, self.passwd, self.clientVer)

IEHtmlWindow (Windows-only) would support frames, HtmlWindow doesn't; 
see the readme.txt or wxPython documentation for more info on which 
attributes it supports.

In order for HtmlWindow or IEHtmlWindow to open images or follow links 
within the HTML, it must have absolute or relative URLs that it can 
find via an http: or file: URL. wxPython wraps wxWidgets, so the 
underlying control doesn't use Python's open command. I suspect the 
only way you would be able to get this to work would be to unzip the 
contents into a temporary directory. Pass the absolute path of the file 
(self.components.BookViewer.text = 'default.htm') for the starting 
point. If you don't do a chdir to the directory beforehand, use an 
absolute path.

If there is another workaround for the underlying HtmlWindow control, 
you'll need to ask about that on the wxPython-users mailing list. There 
might actually be a way of overriding some internal methods to just 
fetch the contents of the zip file as needed. In fact, since there is a 
Help Viewer (HtmlHelpController) that already uses zip files it might 
be that the trick is to override LoadPage. You would need to modify 
your htmlwindow.py component module or make a custom one for your app 
and do the appropriate LoadPage override. Again, ask on wxPython-users 
what you need to do to make it work.

The problem is almost certainly the following bit of code. In order to 
avoid saving explicit attribute values that are actually defaults and 
might be different on other platforms (e.g. height of a TextField), the 
resourceOutput code does a lot of special-casing for particular 
attributes like size. You will probably have to add your component to 
the list below.

Ideally, the component would be able to return the appropriate size, so 
what we probably need is a special method that would return -1 values 
when appropriate. So, maybe a getDefaultSize (or getBestSize) method 
can be added to the base Widget class and components such as yours, 
BitmapCanvas, etc. would override that so this special-case code can go 
away. For now, you'll have to just patch your own copy of 
resourceOutput.py

# resourceEditor/modules/resourceOutput.py, line 48

     # try and determine default sizes
     width, height = aWidget.size
     if aWidget.__class__.__name__ in imgWidgets:
         width, height = aWidget._size
     elif aWidget.__class__.__name__ not in ['BitmapCanvas', 
'HtmlWindow', 'IEHtmlWindow', 'Gauge', 'StaticBox']:
         bestWidth, bestHeight = aWidget.GetBestSize()
         if bestWidth == width:
             width = -1
         if bestHeight == height:
             height = -1
     if width != -1 or height != -1:
         dStr += "    'size':(%d, %d), \n" % (width, height)

class ScrolledImageSpec(widget.WidgetSpec):
    def __init__( self ) :
        events = []      
        attributes = {
            'file':{'presence':'optional','default':None},

] }
        }               
        widget.WidgetSpec.__init__( self, 'ScrolledImage', 'Widget' ,

I do not see that I must implement a method to get this to work.  But

No. The focus, at least for my part, will continue to be on a framework  
and set of tools and samples for building simple desktop applications.

I think the only way that would work is if someone made a plug-in that  
combined Python, wxPython, and PythonCard and even then I don't know  
all the details that would be required to make it actually work, let  
alone be something that users would actually download and install. I  
think someone (probably Robin) did a wxPython player at one time in the  
past, but I don't know of any current efforts. The solution would  
likely end up as something Windows and browser-specific.

Neil Hodgson did a test in the early days of PythonCard that utilized  
the PythonCard resource files with MS IE called Pyker. You can read  
Neil's description here as well as see the old files in the cvs attic
