Way to get an array of latitude/longitude points (tuples) from a trip

I am not sure if this is the right place for this, but I thought it was worth a shot. What I want: Enter a From: street address and a To: street address, and then specify an interval (say every half mile). Then, I click a submit button, and it gives me latitude and longitude points (in order) fr

Using pyinstaller to create an .exe, when using win32com

Hi all, I am pretty confused on this? While pyinstaller has a "MakeCOMServer.py" thing, it seems to blow up every time I run it. It keeps complaining that a dictionary that I have has "TypeError: unscriptable object.", but when I run my code normally (outside of trying to make an .exe), it runs p

Exception handling....dumb question?

In Python, When using the default except (like following) try: some code that might blow up except: print "some error message" Is there a way to show what error it is throwing? Like in Java, you can do catch (Exception e){ System.out.println(e); } Or something like that. Is there

Re: Best IDE for Python?

To me, it just doesn't behave the same way as Eclipse for java. I have used the plug-in, and I usually use it on my home machine ( I am still a student). For example, in Java eclipse, if you import a module like math, then if you want to use a math function, you just type math + period, and then

Re: Best IDE for Python?

I have recently been trying out NewEdit, and it is a pretty good "IDE" for Python. The reason that I have it in quotes is because I haven't really found a true IDE (like the way Eclipse behaves for Java) for python. (I realize that Eclipse has a plug-in for Python, too). -- http://mail.python.o

Justin, Your way appeared to work great, but now I just realized that the using the printer way destroys the table of contents and bookmark links. Rune's way would be perfect, but I don't see a macro created like that. I tried to create one from scratch, but it didn't work. I am now trying to se

I received a response from Robert Cowham ( the author of the API): The problem is that something like print was only expected to be done for text files not binary. You could try editing p4.py and add a method similar to: def OutputText(self, text): "Adds text lines to the output data
