Re: helpviewer and a wxpython application crash

[accolades]

I haven't run into your situation, or tested the concept, but my first
guess would be that the helpbook is throwing an exception of some sort.
You might try turning on the debugging options, or try using the
command line interpreter to launch the helpbook. When you close it, you
should be able to see what exception is being thrown (or what other
error might be cropping up) and handle it appropriately in your code...

Not sure if that helps, but I hope so :)

Re: What does pygame.Movie mean by `an MPEG file'?

[accolades]

An MPEG is a type of video file, you are correct in that assumption.
Things such as DivX and Xvid are called codec's
(COmpressor/DECompressor) codec's are used to conserve disk space, raw
video files are very large.

It is quite likely that PyGame does not support the compression being
used by your videos. For more information on multimedia files and
codecs, check out:

http://www.videohelp.com/

As for the types of compression (if any) that PyGame supports, I'll
have to look into that.

Pythonwin crashes

[accolades]

Does anyone else have a problem with Pythonwin crashing after running a
python script with graphics libraries? Whenever I use Pythonwin to run
a PyGame or PyOgre script, Pythonwin crashes when the script exits.

I know it's probably because the Pythonwin interpreter can't read from
the console once the graphics mode has been changed, but has anyone
discovered a workaround? I'd like to know if this problem is specific
to my machine, or if others have witnessed this.

Thanks
Tim

IDE crash

[accolades]

We've discussed this before in the group; IDEs that crash on completion
of a PyGame or PyOgre (or any other graphics library) script.

I have had this result with pretty much every IDE that I have tried.
Except Eclipse.

I just wanted to let everyone know, (in case anyone else out there is
picky about  being able to launch their program from within an IDE)
that Eclipse with PyDev or TruStudio does not crash upon exit of
graphics mode applications.

I have been using Eclipse with PyDev exclusively for a few weeks now,
and I am very pleased with the results.
