Life + Python = Golly

Golly is an open source, cross-platform Life app which features an unbounded universe and uses Gosper's hashlife algorithm to allow the exploration of patterns at unprecedented scales and speeds. We've just released version 1.0 and Python fans might be interested to hear that we're now using Pytho

Tkinter problem on Mac OS X

Our app uses embedded Python to allow users to run arbitrary scripts. Scripts that import Tkinter run fine on Windows, but on Mac OS X there is a serious problem. After a script does "root = Tk()" our app's menus are permanently changed in the following way: - The top item in the application menu

LINKFORSHARED problem on Mac OS 10.4

[I sent this to pythonmac-sig but never got a reply, so hopefully there are more Mac Python gurus here.] I recently added Python scripting to our app (an open source, cross-platform Life app called Golly; see http://golly.sourceforge.net/ if you're interested). Based on what I read at http://pyth

embedding Python: how to avoid memory leaks?

No response to my last message, so I'll try a different tack... Does anyone know of, or even better, has anyone here written a C++ application for Mac/Windows that allows users to run Python scripts from within the app? Not just once, but many times in a single session, and without leaking memory

problem with multiple Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize calls

Hi folks, I've only been using Python for a few weeks, so please be gentle. :) Lovely language by the way -- I really enjoying using it -- but I've struck a very nasty problem when running Python scripts from my app. Summary: Multiple Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize calls result in bad memory leaks, a
