Re: [Tutor] Python on network problems

Thanks Tom. I installed the latest version on Friday - but today the system went down again. I am inclined to think it is not a Python problem at all. Just need someone who also has it installed on a network to know if they have had any problems!! Diana - Original Message - From: "Tom

[Tutor] Python on network problems

Dear List, I have Python installed on 1 of 4 labs at my High School. The lab is connected to a whole school network. Students login through the network - but Python is active in this lab only. Sometimes I have a student who simply cannot access Python, even though he has been working on it f

Hi, I'm using Python 2.4, pygtk and Glade2. I have a few text entries. I am trying to put validation on the text entry boxes. I am trying to catch the key_press_event, check the key that has been pressed and either allow it or put back the old text. The code is below with the output after it.
