We've a stretch based lcnc installer now, but I've got stretch on 2 machines now, and I'm not impressed. Making networking actually work makes work a 4 letter word.

Not sure where the problem is Chris, but A: its not my code, and B: a potentially very useful machine vision utility to a cnc machinist actually works like the teats on a boar hog. Useless if it cannot be actually used on a daily basis. I've tried to make it work with pyvcp, and with gladevcp. Essentially the same errors (none reported) and behavior on both gui interfaces. With 3 different cameras. That, in 3 versions of it, is the main reason I've been mostly lurking on this list for several years. > If so, pretty > much ANY Python-aware editor will help you, as will Python 3.x, as > will Python2 with the "-tt" option. > > ChrisA Thanks ChrisA. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
