tkinter help

2006-07-18 Thread groves
hi eveyrbody , i have started working on python tkinter,
While I was working on one of the tkinter classes..named listbox
widget. I had a slight problem.

Now let me tell you that i was able to create a simple listbox which
had 6 options which one can select, but Now what I want is that from
the available menu, if I select an option it should give me another
menu associated with that option. Its like digging up that option to do
advance search.

Please I need help as I am making my project
Thanks to eveyrbody who will take time to read this and solve it .

rollover effect

2006-08-26 Thread groves
hi
I am trying to get a roll over effect on my canvas.(this is a virtual
program which will eventually fit into my final program)

Exactly i have a text on my screen and I want to have a brief
discription across it whenever the user takes the mouse on it n hence
giving information about the type of text(event).

Another thign i am looking for is to have a right click on that very
text as well
If somebody can put some light on it, then it would be really great for
my project.
Thank you in advance.

import function from user defined modules

2006-08-27 Thread groves
Can anybody give me an example of how to import a function of module X
in module y. And please if yu can use classes(Object oriented approach)
would be great.

The problem is that I have created a text on canvas, and now I want
that whenever a user right clicks on it, the option COMMAND should
invoke a function defined in some other module say Y.

thanks a lot to all who will look into problem, any help would be
appreciated.

"unknown encoding: string-escape" in frozen Python

2007-03-02 Thread Jeff Groves
I'm using FreezePython on a Python program that uses wxPython and subprocess.
The result almost works, but it always hits this bug:

  File "velauncher.py", line 847, in Launch
  File "python/velLaunchCode.py", line 61, in __init__
  File "python/velLaunchCode.py", line 143, in Unix
  File "python/subprocess.py", line 599, in __init__
  File "python/subprocess.py", line 1031, in _execute_child
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/pickle.py", line 1394, in loads
return Unpickler(file).load()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/pickle.py", line 872, in load
dispatch[key](self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/pickle.py", line 985, in load_string
self.append(rep.decode("string-escape"))
LookupError: unknown encoding: string-escape

I tried adding --include-modules=encodings to the arguments, but I'm still
getting the string-escape error. How can I include the encoding in the freeze?

I'm using Python2.3 and the downloadable version of subprocess.py for Python2.3
on Redhat.

Activating Batch Files from Python

2006-04-18 Thread Jeff Groves
I'm writing a launcher that should do the following:

1. Activate a .bat file to set environmental variables.
2. Start 3 programs, using said environmental variables as arguments.

However, I can't get the environmental variables to stick because all
of Pythons' system start/open functions split off into their own little
subshells, therefore the .bat file doesn't affect the main shell.

How can I use the .bat file to set environmental vars from Python?

Re: Activating Batch Files from Python

2006-04-19 Thread Jeff Groves
>How about sourcing it from a shell, then using that same shell instance
>to run the programs?

How would I do that? As I've said, I haven't found a Python command
that lets you send multiple commands to the same shell yet. If I could,
my problem would be solved.
