Has he at least changed the GUI chapters away from AnyGUI to one of the standard
toolkits?  The last edition would have been more use to me if it didn't do all
of its GUI programming in a toolkit that the author has removed from 
circulation.

[Tutor] Application Templates?

[Andrew Fant]

I am about to start work on my first significant coding projects in some 
time (and first ever in python).  Does anyone have any standard 
templates that they use to lay out new projects that they might be 
willing to share?  By templates, I am not asking about complex libraries 
and OO things that I don't fully understand, but rather a file that sets 
up a common base for applications like file handling, customary command 
line handling and such things.  Essentially a file that you can start 
plugging your core logic into and start working from.

Thanks,
Andy

Re: [Tutor] getting around ValueError in os.walk

[Andrew Fant]

Mea culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa.  I apoligize for sending quickly when I was trying 
to edit in vi.  Thanks to everyone who caught my typo and explained ValueError 
to me in detail.
