Re: [Tutor] PDF and Python
Hi, If you only want to convert text files, this tool I wrote may be even easier than using ReportLab: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtopdf It is based on ReportLab. You can use it both as a standalone command-line tool, to convert a single text file to PDF. Run PDFWriter.py. You can easily modify the code to convert more than one file, or just write a shell script / .BAT/.CMD file to call it in a loop). You can also use it progammatically from your Python programs. Both procedural and object-oriented versions are available. Look at WritePDF.py and PDFWriter.py. Look at PDFBook.py for an example of usage of this tool to create a simple PDF book from a set of text files representing chapters. HTH Az --- Jason Child <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey there.

Re: [Tutor] Vpython
Hey, that's pretty good. Tried it out. VPython is cool
too.

Re: [Tutor] A better way to do it.
Hi Jacob,
Since your class derives from Frame, check Frame for
methods to change the title. If that doesn't work, try
this: Tkinter is based on Tk (which works with TCL).
So try posting your question on comp.lang.tcl. You can
do this via Google Groups: groups.google.com. You need
to register once, its free.
