New guy help with setup
I just downloaded 2.5 and read the readme file. It says "Before you can build Python, you must first confiigure itStart by running the script "./configure". I can't find "./configure" I am running Windows XP SP2 btw Python.exe gives me a black window Pythonw.exe does nothing (I assume this is a windows interface) thanks meg99 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

New guy question - user form
I am using a scheduling sw package that uses Python as its scripting language much like Excel uses Visual Basic. I am fluent in VB but I am just beginning in Python. What I need to do is this: I need to create a user form that will contain some predefined data (captured from the scheduling sw database) and some fields that the user will enter. When the user is finished, he will write the data to the database via a command button on the form. I have looked at some of the tutorials and I have a couple of books but I don't see a user form utility like there is in VB. I am using version 1.5.2 (the sw I am using does not now support anything else). Can I do what I have described with what I have?
