honCard seems to like to stick to basics, but also includes a certain ability to get to the rest of wxPython (file/save/message dialogs are pretty easy to include). Note that my only other experience in building GUIs was with visual basic, which seems to have spoiled me. I tried wxPython and Tinker, but could only really get PythonCard to work.

e you understand how overloading works (I'm pretty sure overloading isn't covered in that book). In short, I think that this book is a good introduction to programming, and it will explain the basics of python, but it doesn't really begin to explain how to program in python.

Re: GPL and Python modules.

2004-12-16 Thread Scott Robinson
be careful in taking legal advise from Richard Stallman. The GPL merely states that*: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: After that, all notion of "derived work" falls on the appropriate copyright law of the country in question. I suspect that following Stallman's verdicts won't cause you to violate the GPL, but I would hardly be willing to be certain about going to court over a GPLed module imported into an unfree python program. Scott Robinson * note that I believe that this is fair use. According to the GPL, you can only distribute it unmodified. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
