Hi Alex,

the link
http://www.tweedly.net/Python/docs/documentation.html
gives a 404 Not Found error.

I'm very curious if the other documentation is getting updated to 0.8.1 as well.

Thanks for your efforts!

Roger

Yes, sorry about that. I've only updated this single doc and placed it 
on my personal web site. Once I get all the comments incorporated 
(thanks to all, but special mention to Norman Winn for all the 
feedback), I'll update CVS and then this will be fitted back in context 
- so this link to the rest of the docs will work again, both as part of 
the package you install and on the web site.

I plan to produce a new doc - very similar to this one but for the 
multi-resource Editor. That's actually new stuff to cover, so it may 
take me longer.

Then I'll look at updating the rest of the docs - but no promises. If 
you have run into one which is misleading or confusing because of it 
being out of date, suggest that and I'll move it near the top of my list 
(though that still doesn't mean I'll get to it).

In the Changing a PythonCard Application section of Walkthrough 1 this 
function is defined:

def on_menuFileExit_select(self, event):
         pass

However, the minimal sample does not contain this function, and it is 
not obvious whether it should be added.

Best regards,
Roger

Yep, out-of-date documentation strikes again. The Background class 
contains the method

     def on_exit_command(self, evt):
         self.exit()

and the resources were all changed to use a command named "exit" so you 
don't have to define this yourself, plus any buttons you want to create 
that mimic a File->Exit menu can just use an "exit" command as well for 
free. For example, in minimal.rsrc.py and most of the other samples and 
templates...

                 { 'type':'MenuItem',
                   'name':'menuFileExit',
                   'label':'E&xit\tAlt+X',
                   'command':'exit' } ] }

So this part of the walkthrough can be ignored.
