Re: Yes, this is a python question, and a serious one at that (moving to Win XP)

[kdahlhaus]

Hmm.  I'm not sure what bothered you about cygwin, but if it has been
awhile it's worth another look.  For me it makes windows tolerable, and
even productive.

I'm scared more by your thoughts of transitioning from OS-X to windows.
  I've seen a bit of OS-X and am slowly be warmed up to it as an option
for my next machine by some folks here.   What is causing you problems
with it ( enough to swtich to windows-wow.)?

Book: Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets?

[kdahlhaus]

I was wondering if people using wxPython found this book useful?  Is it
worth the money? Thanks

Py2exe and extension issues

[kdahlhaus]

Is anyone aware of issues with Py2exe and extensions compiled with
cygwin/mingw for Python 2.3?   I have an extension that wraps access to
some C DLLs.  The generated executable always segfaults at startup,
although things work fine when running through the normal python
interpreter.  I had a guess that perhaps the issue stems from my
extension being compiled with cygwin and py2exe compiled with  Visual
C++?

Python to be used for Mod Language in Battlefield 1942 Sequel

I love the orignal so much, now to hear that mod's will be created in
Python, well it brings tears of joy.

John,

Thanks, for some reason, I just saw your response.  I'll be getting
back to that app in about 2 week and the first item is to look into the
issue.

Chart Director?

[kdahlhaus]

Does anyone here have experience with Chart Director
(http://www.advsofteng.com/index.html)?   I'm thinking about purchasing
it and looking for any feedback from the Python community.  Thanks

Re: Chart Director?

[kdahlhaus]

Actually, that's exactly what I did last night.  I found it all of the
things you said.  Consistent api across functions, lots of methods of
formatting data labels.  A+ on the documentation and examples.   It
also includes various meters and gauges that I thought might add to the
application.  I'm comparing it to the charting  in Report Lab.  I love
the fact that Report Lab lets you specify a function to call to
translate data points to labels.  At this point I will still continue
to evaluate it, but so far it probably is not compelling enough to move
from Report Labs.  I would highly recommend those need a graphics
package look at CD though.

Re: Best GUI for small-scale accounting app?

[kdahlhaus]

> ZOPE could provide the workaround but ZOPE seems really huge to
> me and an overkill for this. Or maybe it would work?

I am intenionally *not* trying to argue web vs traditional gui for your
app, but to tuck away for future apps, CherryPy2 is a lot easier than
Zope to use and programming it does not require much of a learning
curve.

Recently I did a simple app that started as wx Windows, got bogged
down, and switched to CherryPy/Cheetah running locally on the users
station.  I know more about wxWindows now than before, so perhaps
things would be different now, but at the time the gui was really
slowing my down my development.   I had a hard time getting my hands
around the wxWindows sizers.  They are simple in concept, but not easy
to learn at first in practice.

I went w/wxPython for a second app because of its printing capabilities
and the large number of controls that come with it.  Otherwise I would
use pyFltk for small apps.

Chris,

CherryPy 2 is very easy to get started with.
