Can you tell us a git or svn repository from which the kit is available?

I prefer (x is None) and (x is not None).

This matches the SQL concept of NULL.

(X = NULL) is not valid since NULL is not a value and cannot be compared

Re: Packaging and deployment of standalone Python applications?

This might be helpful.

Folks;

coming from a server-sided Java background, I'm recently exploring
frameworks such as cherrypy or webpy for building RESTful services, which
is quite a breeze and a pretty pleasant experience; however one thing so
far bugs me: Using Java tooling and libraries such as DropWizard, it is
pretty straightforward to build an "all-inclusive" application containing
(a) all code of my own, (b) all required dependencies, (c) all other
resources and, if required, even (d) a Java virtual machine in one large
.zip file which can easily be copied to a clean Linux VM, unzipped and
started there.

Are there ways of doing so using Python, too? I'd like to set up a project
structure / working environment that includes all Python 3rd party
libraries, my own code and maybe even a "standard" Python runtime for 64bit
Linux systems (to not depend too much on what version a certain Linux
distribution actually ships) and focus on doing deployment to various
machines at best by simply copying these packages around.

Any pointers, ideas, inspirations on that greatly appreciated - even in
total different ways if what I am about to do is completely off anyone
would do it in a Python environment. ;)

TIA and all the best,
Kristian

Writing a plug-in for an existing open source project would be a good
starting point to see how others have approached graphics applications. You
probably have something good to contribute to the community.

You might start by searching pypi.python.org for "graphics" to see if
something there  catches your interest.

I would like to see Python in use as much as anyone. However, I am not sure
we are doing users or ourselves much of a favor encouraging pieces of the
language be distributed in so many kits.

I do not know, but it does not seem that Java has much of this problem.
Everyone seems to know that Java should be installed on the system. There
is a clear way to have multiple versions of Java on one system.

There would be benefits in having a well structured way to do it. I am not
suggesting that other ways should be prohibited.

This approach would fit well with the Python maxim to pick one really good
way to do it.

Python 3 has venv. I always use venv and never put Python in the PATH

Welcome to Python.

Starting a command shell depends on which operating system you are running.

If the install was done for "all users" on the machine, then the Python

The installer of some applications will replace the shebang to refer to a
