It's in both Komodo and OpenKomodo.   OpenKomodo is not quite
ready for release, but you can find out more at
http://www.activestate.com/openkomodo/

I guess you are talking about Komodo ide (Activestate) or maybe.. open 
Komodo?
Whatever, can you pass me a pointer so I can have a look?

Hi Juergen,

Thanks for the reply.   Mostly I'm using wnd because
ctypes.com no longer exists, and hasn't been replaced
with anything.  We added a subset of wnd to the
contrib area of Komodo (dropped unused lists of definitions).
The three *.txt files are left intact, so while I'm happy
with the current state of wnd, but if anyone else wants
to run with it, they'll have the info they need.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

Ups, long time since I checked the mailing list. Sorry for that.

If you like to put some work in it, you are heartly welcome. But I for 
one am no
longer maintaining this project. Partly because I am exclusively on 
Linux now,
partly because Qt is a pretty good alternative (though muuuch slower).

I did the project mostly to get a feeling for ctypes and it was a pretty 
good exercise.
And, as I hope, a reasonably good stone quarry for sample code. So, if 
you like to take
the project over, feel free to drop a note. Else, feel free to do 
whatever you like
with the code base.

[Wnd-users] Any advice on updating wnd to work with Python 2.5 ctypes + comtypes?

[Eric P. <er...@ac...>]

wnd makes liberal use of the obsolete ctypes.com
module

I've been updating it to use comtypes, punting on
use of some interfaces like IPersistFile, and
making decent progress.

Is this worth doing?  The module seems to be
working fine.  Is there a better framework I
should be using -- the goal is to use
ctypes instead of pythonwin, for various reasons.

Thanks,
Eric

[Wnd-users] preview on wnd 0.1.30

[JUrner <lo...@we...>]

Thought I'd give a preview on the features to come in the next releases

   - wnd 0.1.30 (next release in about 2 or three weeks) is is gonna 
bring a "docking window"

   - On the todo list for the releases folllowing 0.1.30 are a directory 
tree, spinner control and canvas

   - Currently developemet of a webbrowser and rich edit control is 
stopped untill new
        (ctypes)comtypes is comming out....

   - Next up would be printer support and a massive comb-over all the 
inconsistencies wich have
       made their way into the framework and release a 0.2 version, and  
from then on taking care about
        backwards compatibility.

If anyone has any feature requests, improvements, bug reports, needs for 
help or feels like complaining
feel free to post. And thanks for the downloads anyone. At least I'm not 
all alone in here ;-)

[Wnd-users] wnd 0.1.20 released

[JUrner <lo...@we...>]

wnd 0.1.20 released

wnd is a python only gui framework for win32 systems,
using low level MS api calls. It lets you setup highly native
guis with low memory footprint and low distibution size,
based exclusively on Thomas Hellers ctypes module.
 
The framework comes equipped with wrapper classes for  
comon controls, common dialogs, classes wrapping gdi
functionality, a bare bones dialog and menu editor, drag and drop
support and other modules peeking into the world of the win32 api.
A documentation in chm format comes shipped along with the module.


This release is basically a cleanout dump of my projects folder

Hilights in this release are:

    -     new controls:
            Datepicker, MDIFrame, Monthcal, PropertySheet (including 
wizard control),
            Rebat, Trackbar
            Except for ComboboxEx and DragListbox all common controls 
are complete now
    
    - new (common) dialogs:
             BrowseForFolder, ChooseColor, FindText, OpenSaveFile, 
ReplaceText,
    
    - a WM_COPYDATA handler for simple interprocess data exchange
    - many more enhancements and bugfixes
    

    For details see the change log

[Wnd-users] dbg 'python debugger' released

[JUrner <lo...@we...>]

Released a side project: dbg

dbg is a small win32 gui to redirect python output to.
I use this as a simple debugger for quite some time now. Its not perfect
and has some ods and ends. Thought it could be helpfull so I decided
to make it available to others.

[Wnd-users] wnd 0.1.12 released

[JUrner <lo...@we...>]

wnd 0.1.12 released

Hilights in this release are:

    - drag and drop support now implemented
    - added dataobject and clipboard support
    - added two new controls handling files, folders and drives
        and an Explorer like sample gui to demonstrate shell and
        dragdrop    capabilities of    the framework
    - many other bugfixes and enhancements

    For details see the change log



Did I mention that co-writers, patch-suppliers, bug-sniffers
and other people with to much spare time are welcome to the project ?

One bug found, a million to go.
Well, this has not been brought up alreaddy, 'cos your the first visitor
and the first and exclusive alpha tester on XP so far (except from me).
Nice and warm welcome to you :)

True, this is nonsense and was not meant to scare off XP users.
I' ll upload a version with this bug fixed as soon as possible.


thanks Jürgen

[Wnd-users] comctl32 version check in wintypes.py

[Dave B. <da...@py...>]

Hello,

This may have already been brought up, but when I run any WND programs on WinXP 
the version check on comctl32 in wintypes.py fails because I have version 6.0, 
and the conversion to a string makes the test fail.

Since tuples are comparable, I got it to work by changing:

VER_COMCTL = int('%d%d' % (result.dwMajorVersion,result.dwMinorVersion))
if VER_COMCTL < 471:

to

VER_COMCTL = (result.dwMajorVersion, result.dwMinorVersion)
if VER_COMCTL < (4,71):
