Dear folks, Just wanted to thank everyone for the help. I think I
know what was going on with that “The buffer for Python Shell is not
saved” message I was getting when I tried to run a script.
Apparently you need to open the module before you run the script and also to
re-open it each time you want to run the script. That seems a little
strange to me but it appears to work that way. By the way, a couple of
folks said their screen didn’t look like what I described and wondered
what version I was using. It is version 2.1 which I have because it that
version is bundled with ESRI ArcGIS 9 which I have. I have been wondering
if I can update that version but am afraid that it might be customized to
ArcGIS somehow and I might mess that up if I upgrade just the Python portion. Also, someone advised that the Shell
window not be used that way anyway. I think I agree and will operate from
Pythonwin from now on. A couple of folks also mentioned a book, Beginning
Python: From Novice to Professional. I think I might try
that. Again, thanks everyone for all the help. I was very
impressed with the response to my cry for help. - Steve |
