I've used Tkinter + bwidgets for Crescendo which you can find in this page http://godson.auroinfo.com/downloads
you can look at the screen shots of Crescendo there. We have a wrapper for Tile written by Franklin a long time ago 
but his site is down currently.  here is the google cached version
of that page
http://72.14.209.104/search?hl=en&q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fmfranklin.is-a-geek.org%2Fdocs%2FTile%2Findex.html&btnG=Search&meta=

Bwidgets wrapper of python has not all widgets that Bwidgets offers, i've tried changing the file __init__.py its pretty easy.

I think Python introduced many idea of matlab.

If you have used matlab, you will say that they are very very similar,
except that matlab was born years earlier and is used mainly in the
area
of matrix calculation.

Hi,

You can try the following

from Tkinter import*

root.withdraw() #this will hide the main window
import tkFileDialog as tkf
f = tkf.Open().show()

tkFileDialog, requires a main window to be existing before it can show the
file dialog. If there are no main windows then it will create its own.

with FreeSWITCH, this library is designed to handle high volume of
concurrent calls with an easy to use API. PySWITCH currently supports
extensive set of FreeSWITCH API and dialplan commands. You need to be
familiar with Twisted library inorder use this.

> Hi Tarun,

The best practice to poll things in any GUI application is to use timers
provided by the GUI frameworks. All of the GUI frameworks does provide
timers, so does wxPython. Look for wx.Timer (also look for wx.CallAfter )
and use it to poll what ever the things you want

http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.Timer-class.html

When you use a while(1) loop, the python interpreter enters into an infinite
local loop thus GUI events never gets processed.  So your case seems be
that, the while loop is getting executed before GUI is drawn on screen, it
will never show up till the loop exits. And if while(1) is executed after
GUI is drawn on screen, it will hangup and will not get updated till the
loop exits. So avoid using while loops in your GUI for polling long running
tasks .

ANN: starpy-1.0.0a13

[Godson Gera]

Hi All,

 I am happy to announce new release of starpy (Asterisk protocols
for Twisted http://starpy.sf.net ) on behalf of starpy team.

 starpy-1.0.0a13 can be downloaded from here
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=164040

This release contains addition of many manager commands to manager API.
Following is a list of newly added commands.


   1. agentLogoff
   2. dbGet
   3. dbPut
   4. extensionState
   5. getConfig
   6. meetmeMute
   7. meetmeUnmute
   8. park
   9. pauseMonitor
   10. playDTMF
   11. queuePause
   12. sipShowPeers
   13. unpauseMonitor
   14. updateConfig (read AMI documentation before using this )
   15. userEvent
   16. waitEvent
   17. zapDNDoff
   18. zapDNDon
   19. zapDialOffhook
   20. zapHangup
   21. zapRestart
   22. zapShowChannels
   23. zapTransfer


   - Those are all the new manager Actions that were added. Queues action is
   there but it won't work cause AMI returns improperly formatted lines, same
   case with IAXPeers action, as AgentCallbackLogin is deprecated and is not
   functioning properly it was not included.
   - Bug fix in queueStatus manager API, in collectDeferred argument
   'QueueStatusEnd' is changed to 'QueueStatusComplete'. Now the deferred fires
   properly.
   - Bug fix in fastagi playback (not a standard AGI command, was created by
   Mike as a workaround for buggy streamFile command back in Asterisk 1.2 days.
   Now streamFile is working properly so you might not be using this playback
   ).


Those are all the changes that are involved in this release if you find any
bugs or hope for any new features let me know.

Have fun with starpy,

When you want your application to talk with a web server it doesn't matter
if its PHP, JSP or ASP. You have to use HTTP protocol to connect to
webserver. If you have simple needs look for 'urllib' in python standard
library,  Use threads while using urllib with your GUI other wise the whole
application will become unresponsive.

If you want to access win32api and do some COM programming then ActiveState
comes bundled with pywin32. Where in vanilla python distro you have to
install those packages separately by downloading them.  ActiveState is the
same python with additional batteries included.

You can defined foo outside the __init__ and can access it inside methods
using self.foo

class C(object):
 foo=5
 def __init__(self):
  print self.foo
 def m(self,val=foo):
  return val

class attributes can be accessed with out self before them in method
signatures. However, becareful if you change the value of foo inside any
method, the method signature will still hold on to old value.

You don't even have to write a bat file. Python's distutils package allows
you to build exe file which creates generic windows wizard window for
installing packages.

Take a look at distutils package

you can try read_very_eager() which won't block. Twisted has complete
support for SSH check it out http://twistedmatrix.com

across all platforms and you don't wanted your audience to visit command
line. As of 2010 you have to be on specific platform to make distributions
for that platform. This kind of asking for toomuch from a few MB sized
python. You need to make your own python distro to support all platform
specific(exe, msi, ELF, app, rpm, deb  etc etc ) packaing in one
installation whose size may swell over many MBs

or resort back to wiriting batch file on windows and bash and sh scripts on
*nix platforms.

ANN : PySWITCH Release – 0.1alpha

[Godson Gera]

Hi All,

I am glad to announce the first alpha release of PySWITCH.

http://pyswitch.sf.net


The idea of PySWITCH is to offer a complete library to Python and Twisted
programmers for interacting with FreeSWITCH using EventSocket interface. The
target is to cover all FreeSWITCH API commands and Dialplan tools. PySWITCH
handles all the low level details in executing FreeSWITCH commands, so the
programmer can easily concentrate on quickly building FreeSWITCH
applications. As an example, the API functions offered by PySWITCH often
executes many FreeSWITCH commands under the hood and finally returns the
desired result. Suppose you execute a background job, PySWITCH API will
automatically wait and catch the backgroundjob event parse the result and
will fire the deferred.

The current release covers good amount of API commands and a few Dialplan
tools. The protocol communication issues are ironed out. It has a nice event
call back interface. I’ll present its usage in couple of tutorials soon.

Since you have mentioned Skulpt, take a look at much better pyjamas

Do you mean Tkinter API reference documentation ? If so, this is what I've

you can also get some info from http://effbot.org/tkinterbook

Re: is elementTree really a part of python 2.6?

[Godson Gera]

do the following

import xml.etree

that imports the elementtree library in 2.5 it self so you sure can do that
in 2.6

Re: SIP Libraries?

[Godson Gera]

There were some attempts to build SIP libraries in python, I am giving a
list of the libs that I know


   - Twisted -
   http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.1.0/api/twisted.protocols.sip.html
   - Shtoom - a dead project by anthony baxter made some enhancements to
   twisted's sip library - http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/ShtoomProject
   - Sine - divmod project additions to shtoom code -
   http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodSine
   - pjsua - much better compared to above one - http://pjsip.org
   - 39peers - libs by 39peers - http://39peers.net
   - incase if you are linux farsight python bindings does SIP
