Re: [Tutor] What is the best book to start? - Many Thanks!
Hi Hoffman, I'd suggest Dive into Python which you can also find it on-line. The printed version is here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D1590593561/002-9100626-6616001 The best book I know is Core Python by Wesley Chun. But it only covers 1.6 so quite a few things have changed since then. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130260363/qid=1112776154/sr=1-20/ref=sr_1_20/002-9100626-6616001?v=glance&s=books Best of luck, Steve On Apr 5, 2005 2:37 AM, Hoffmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi John, > > Certainly, I will check it out. > Many thanks! > Hoffmann > > --- John Carmona <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Hoffmann, I am also a Newbie and I am currently > > going through "A Byte > > of Python" tutorial from Swaroop C H. > > > > > http://www.byteofpython.info/download?PHPSESSID=c0d52343d90f69f25942f49df9ae7944 > > > > If you are completely new to programming like me, > > you will find that this > > tutorial is excellent. > > Good luck > > JC > > > > > > > > __ > Yahoo!

Re: [Tutor] Re: GUI module selection?
Hi Lee, You can currently use Pygtk on OSX as long as you use the Apple X server. The easiest way is through fink which has 2.4: http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/search.php?summary=pygtk There are efforts underway to port GTK+ to OSX natively by Hubert Figuière, but he's only just started: http://www.figuiere.net/hub/blog/ The best way to learn about Pygtk is through the list: http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk or http://www.pygtk.org If your application is going to be mostly used from Linux then pygtk is a good choice as it's bundled in with the majority of distributions. If it's cross-platform then WX is probably better as they've focused on this area. If it's Mac OSX then PyObj seems the way to go.
