For sake of Googlers searching on error output (which I've done before), here are the errors I was getting on my machine when trying to launch IDLE. Note, when I tried to open a .py file with IDLE the file would not open at all (and there were no error messages) - interesting that the whole process failed - is the missing error handling on the win or python side (no reason for these to have been fatal errors...) Ah, now I can enjoy 2.4. Thanks! my error output (win32): >>> import idlelib.PyShell >>> idlelib.PyShell.main() Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#ff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sagecomments'. returning default value: '#00' Warning: configHandler.py -

I believe that's how I solved it. If not, there should be some configuration files, plain text files with names like "*.def" in your idlelib directory. Here's the path to one of several on my machine: C:\Python23\Lib\idlelib\config-highlight.def I am not sure if you can safely delete these, but reverting them to the default configuration should work (I think).

[Tutor] Class within class, or...?
[sent previously, please ignore if already rec'd]
A basic OOP question, I guess.
I have a file from which I want to extract some data. The data of
interest may be towards the end of the file at position A, defined by
schema A; or it may be in the file at variable positions near the
beginning of the file which are defined by a combination of schema B
and the data in the file; or the data of interest may be in the file
both ways (and the data may be different).
I'd like to write a class for the data extraction. In my mind I'd
have one overall class for the data extraction with attributes for the
two possible sets of data extracted. I am thinking It'd be nice if
these two attributes were two different classes themselves. Something
like this:
class Reader:
def __init__(self, filePath=""):
try:
self.fileObj=file(filePath,"r")
except:
self.errorMsg="File opening error"
self.dataA=SchemaA()
self.dataB=SchemaB()
...
class SchemaA():
def __init__(self):
self.data={}
...
class SchemaB():
def __init__(self):
self.data={}
...
I'm struggling with a mind stuck in functional programming mode and
also lazy from simple scripting, thus my questions:
- Is there any problem with structuring my classes like this? I
assume that using SchemaA and SchemaB within Reader would be no
different than using any other classes within that class (it all gets sorted
out in compilation).
- Is it possible, and is there any advantage to, embedding the
classes (SchemaA and SchemaB) within the Reader class? The Schema
classes would not be used elsewhere.
- Are there performance considerations to the structure I use?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Re: [Tutor] Larger program organization
"Ryan Davis" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote My background is mostly C#, so I'm used to the ridiculous rigidity of strongly-typed languages. I have been using python for helper apps for a few months now, so am pretty familiar with the syntax now, but I don't know any of the patterns yet. My nefarious goal is to supplant C#/ASP.NET with Python, but I need to figure out how to make programs clients want to pay for before I can make any reasonable argument. without trying to make this one of those classic threads of great, do you feel you could develop fairly complex applications faster in Python than in C#/ASP.NET? It's a rhetorical question (but I'm interested in your answer as a single data point) Speed to market and hours/dollars of programming might resonate with some of your customers. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

It's a bit off list topic, but I am interested to know how much functionality
you have been successful to get going. I tried something very similar with
Quicktime and Javascript, but seemed to wind up at a dead-end. My (premature?)
conclusion was that once the audio player object was loaded, I could not reset
certain parameters _in_that_object_ such as I would need to have it play an
arbitrary file (url).
My javascript was successful in changing the page parameters, as verified with
DOM and print statements, but there seemed nothing to trigger the audio player
to recognize those new parameters.
IMO the great thing about Javascript is that you have a whole gui & application
tied to it, so you can do a lot with very little code (sheer candy!); but the
downside follows, that there you are utilizing a complex, fixed framework which
constrains what you can do (bitter aftertaste)... and, of course, the
development environment is not quite Pythonic.
I hope you can get your Javascript - Windows Media Player interface to work.
Unfortunately, I do not know how Python could be used within that interface...
Good luck!

Re: [Tutor] how to add python code to a webpage
Mustafa Abbasi asked: i want to create a simple page which has a formand takes in persons date of birth and give out exact age.how do i add python codeto an html page.i don't have any dreamweaver or frontpage.this is basically cuz some freinds advised me to create this isnce i am learning programming python..so please help Mustfa, it sounds like you want a cgi script. The Python script would reside on a server, and your webpage would send the form data to that script. Often such script are kept in a "folder" called a cgi-bin. You would want to get a basic understanding of "cgi" first. You will find cgi mentioned both in Python documentation, and in Google search results for "cgi". Good luck.
