Reg: Installation problems in psycopg2
Hi all, I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this question. Please let me know if it isn't. I am trying to install psycopg2 in my windows machine for connecting with the PostgreSQL server. Since there is no binary executable*, I am trying to build my own - and I am facing this issue. C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lpq collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 After a little bit of googling, I found that this can be solved by -L while linking - but I am not specifically linking the code. Rather, I am installing by doing the following - python.exe setup.py build python.exe setup.py install So, I cannot find a place to include the -L option too. Can somebody help me on this? I have been investigating this for the last 4 days - and now I cannot see any further way out. Regards, Raj *p.s -> I did find one binary in http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/index.html#Version2. But the licensing is GPL and I wont be able to use it (I am doing coding for proprietary systems) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Reg: Installation problems in psycopg2
Hi Philip, Thank you. I have posted the same in psycopg mailing list too. I had setup the pg_config value too, but even then the error was coming. Hi Dave, Thank you for the quick reply. Regards Raj K -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Modifying the system menu
Hi all, I am trying to modify the system menu of all the applications in my machine. For example say - I am creating multiple desktops for windows - and I want to give every application the capability to be moved across different desktops. So I wanted to modify the basic system menu list to include the new options. The methods I could think of are - 1. Modify the basic windows set of system menu values (best option) or 2. Poll every few milliseconds and modify the system menu values of the active window For (1) I couldnt think of a way to do it. Is it even possible using python? For (2) I wrote the following code for basic testing: hwnd = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow() hw = win32gui.GetSystemMenu(hwnd, False) if hw != None: win32gui.AppendMenu(hw,win32con.MF_SEPARATOR,0,'-'); and it shows the following error: pywintypes.error: (1401, 'AppendMenu', 'Invalid menu handle.') If anyone could help me out in both the options (1) and/or (2), I would be very thankful. Thank you very much in advance, A python newbie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Modifying the system menu
I tested it again and found that the behaviour is a little different from what I mentioned previously in the mailchain. The item is working perfectly the first time around. Now if I close the application and run it again (which was what I did earlier), if that application system menu is already modified, it is causing this issue. Why would this happen? If it is that the file handle is not obtained, it wouldnt have gone through the following check at all? > hw = win32gui.GetSystemMenu(hwnd, False) > if hw != None: > win32gui.AppendMenu(hw,win32con.MF_SEPARATOR,0,'-'); Not only did it go through, it failed with an invalid menu handle error. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

More worryingly, this happens randomly. Am I doing some mistake here? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Modifying the system menu
I am creating the window manager for multiple desktops :) Anyways, i got one answer in nabble which I feel is the best option - even though I am just investigating on how to do it.

Modify the basic windows set of system menu values (best option) There is no central repository where this is stored, so there's no place to change. > 2. Poll every few milliseconds and modify the system menu values of > the active window Ick Windows don't come and go that often, and you only need to do this once for each application. The correct option is (3) install a Windows hook to watch for new application to activate, and modify the menu in the hook. You will have to use a hook in order to catch the menu item being chosen anyway. There are Python modules to handle some kinds of hooks, but overall this would be much easier in C. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
