[Visualpython-users] Idle fix

[Bruce S. <ba...@an...>]

To get a fix for Idle not running programs on Windows 2000 when Python is 
installed in Program Files, go to the Windows download page at

	http://cil.andrew.cmu.edu/projects/visual

and download and install the latest version of Idle (Idle-2001-09-24.zip).

The bug turned out to be in Python21\Tools\idle_VPython\spawn.py, where a 
path name had to be enclosed in quotes to take care of possible DOS 
versions of directory names containing spaces (such as Program Files).

This fix is also included in a new full VPython installer.

[Visualpython-users] Close, but no cigar...

[Kevin C. <kj...@gr...>]

Hi,

I just grabbed the latest RPM (announced today).  I had forgotten that
it needs Numeric.  So, I grabbed the Numeric... which needs Python
2.x...  So I grabbed 2.x.  But apparently Visual needs 1.5.2 (or rather,
that's where it wants to install itself -- in the 1.5 tree.)  So, when
I type "python2 bounce.py" from the demo directory, it loads the visual
__init__.py which then attempts to load Numeric from 1.5, which it
cannot do.

So, what do I need to do now?  (And is the latest visual source RPM
around anywhere?)

I've added Numerical-13 to our web site.   Numerical-13 is compatible with 
Python 1.5.2.

I'm trying to stick with Python 1.5.2 as that is what comes installed on 
Redhat 7.1 (and I believe Mandrake, etc.).
