Hello: I am writing a program that is made up of a collection of POV-Ray
macros. POV-Ray is available at povray.org. It is a ray-tracing program that
reads a scene description language (SDL) to create photo-realistic images. At
this time my program (for modeling building information) is so huge

This sounds so simple but being new to python I am finding it hard to get
started. I want to create a module which I will call "B". There will be
other modules called "C", "D", etc, which will most likely be imported in
"B". Then I want the user to import "B" ONLY into another file I will call

I want to hide as much of the python syntax from the file "A" so the user
just concentrates on using the classes as illustrated. snap_size is a global

The global variable is not

A scene file is applicable to programs like POV-Ray at www.povray.org. It is
a file that is used to describe 3D objects such as box, sphere, polygon,
etc

There can only be one site for each

Absolutely. I just found that out after replying to your c
I am trying to calculate the coordinates at the end of a line. The length
and angle of the line are given and I am using the following formula:
x = (math.sin(math.radians(angle)) * length)
y = (math.cos(math.radians(angle)) * length)
The following are sample answers in the format (x, y) to the g

Thanks. You are right I was actually using 25

Program summary:
I have a module called user.py that imports another module called
app.py. Functions in app.py are used in user.py to describe 3D
objects. These objects are saved in another object described in
doc.py.
app.py contains a function called view(). When called in user.py, it

doc.py has a dictionary. When the user describes a wall, it is passed
to the doc object to be saved in the dictionary.

OK. Sorry to have caused all the confusion. Let me try this again.
To use my program the user needs a script file I will call user.py.
Functions from my program must be imported into this file with
something like "from myapp import *".
myapp.py is a module in my program that has all the functio

Here's the answer to this question.
The summary of the question: how to run a module (called myapp.py) from
another module (called myappwin.py) and be able to access the namespace of
myapp.py from myappwin.py.

Thanks. The name of the imported file will change with each user and for
each project so according to the this reference using this in my situation makes

Hi:
I know this may not be the right place to post this but I found some other

My app is the Window class object below and I am trying to embed a
QVTKRenderWindowInteractor class called ConeWindow in its QTabWidget. First
