[NF] PyWin32 for Python 2.3.1

2022-11-15 Thread Paul Newton
Hi I would have posted this on ProPython but nothing seems to have happened there for a very long time ... Please don't ask why I would want to install such an old version of Python, but I have Python 2.3.1 installed anyway.  Now I am looking for the corresponding PyWin32 install files.  I b

Paul: The horror stories of why you have to install a version of python released nearly 20 years ago is a yarn we would all likely enjoy and share sympathy with you over. I would try this one, as it comes with a Windows installer. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-231/ On Tue, No

Is this Visual FoxPro? I think the key would be to add a timer object to your _VFP object that checks for the existence of that file and if it finds it run the app's shutdown method. Eric On Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 2:25 PM Virgil Bierschwale wrote: > Been a long time. > I'm back maintaining a fox

I have a copy on one of my production systems. Once I get done here I can look for the name and where I originally sourced it from. Might have been cpptimer or something like that. On Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 13:53 Eric Selje wrote: > Is this Visual FoxPro? I think the key would be to add a timer o

I did something similar back in VFP6 where I added a VFP timer object to the main page and then we set the interval to 3-5 minutes (I can't really remember exactly how long) and the timer method would fire and check to see if a "SHUTDOWN" file was found and if so, it would display a message to the
