[Tutor] If You Wish Microsoft Voices For Your Programming
Hi! Below is the settings to use the built in SAPI 5 voices. It will also read any other voices loaded into the SAPI 5 and stores the list of all of them. You can change the names of the methods if you so desire. I am giving you an example of how to set up your voices. NOTE: The pitch of the voices has to be an XML command and it is built into the speech or Speak method. You will need to understand the XML commands if you wish to use the added XML features. Pitch is just one and there is one for spell, bookmarks, and so on...

I had the same question, and I performed some simple experiments.
1) Re-assignment. I ran this and watched python's memory usage. It was
completely flat.
for i in range(1,5):
stdscr.refresh()
win = curses.newwin(10,1,0,2*2*i)
win.bkgd(' ',curses.A_REVERSE)
win.refresh()
curses.napms(1)
It seems that python calls the underlying curses API
delwin(some_window) when some_window goes out of scope. Thus, there is
no need to call something like it explicitly.
Hope this helps.

[Tutor] Tkinter problem
I'm trying to learn to use Tkinter from "Thinking in Tkinter" and don't seem to be able to get the examples to work the way they are supposed to. I have the latest version of Python on a Macbook. Here's an example of the kind of problem I run into: The source code is: from Tkinter import * root = Tk() myContainer1 = Frame(root) myContainer.pack() button1 = Button(myContainer1) button1["text"} = "Hello, World!" button1[background"] = "green" button1.pack root.mainloop() I can execute this, but the button isn't green (or any other color I try) although it turns blue when I click the mouse on it. . Similarly, I've tried to write a bit of code to create a canvas object and put a rectangle in it, but I can't dimension the canvas, change its color, or get the rectangle to appear. Any advice or suggestion where to look for documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Arden ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
