I agree with you.

I was about to try and help, but then I realised this is Tk. :(

Press F5 whilst in IDLE.

If you choose to run your code outside IDLE, you'll probably see it flicker and disappear, so you'll need to use command prompt instead.

Here's my advice: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread128350.html

My other advice would be Kubuntu.

But kudos for the LOGOWriter reference.

You don't use colons or semicolons in Python, normally.

Only use colons for:
if
else
elif
def
class
for
while

IIRC, -1 is the ID of the widget. More here: http://wiki.wxpython.org/wxPython%20Style%20Guide

So you should probably replace -1 with wx.ID_ANY. I'd do that in the tutorial but I can't edit my...

No problem. It's not immediately clear what it means by using event.Skip(), and I only figured it out because the focus issue seemed like what was happening with right-clicking.

I find wxPython...

paulthom had an idea of adding help text to a texbox when the programme loads. The help text just explains what to type in the box and needs to disappear once the user types anything or clicks in the...

If you read the documentation for EVT_LEFT_DOWN (or UP, I suppose, but you should use DOWN really), you'll notice it says this:

Hahaha, wow. I tried this exact same thing. Actually, I thought about trying it (got as far as using SetValue for the textbox when programme loads), but decided instead to use wx.SearchCtrl.

Don't be discouraged! The Python standard documentation is thorough, and there is much information out there for you.

In future if you're wondering if there's, say, a function to break a string up...

Because if you need to do a graphical game, I'm not entirely sure you have enough time to learn PyGame.

Although I suppose it'd be very easy to modify chimp.py to suit your needs.

Maybe os.system and lpr?

We're up to 2.5 now man.

Might I suggest going through the first few chapter of this e-book? Up to chapter 5 (file IO), at least. It covers things like closing your files after access and stuff. Good luck! :)

Phew! I thought you were going to say they don't compile. Cheers. :D

Hi. I cleaned up your code. I didn't put it in a class, but you really should consider it.

Message and file browsing dialogues

The widgets we need are wx.FileDialog and wx.MessageDialog. Now, because we only want it when we go to 'File' -> 'Load' on the menubar, we will actually create...

Well, here's the tutorial like you asked for. I've expanded on it quite a bit. Could people please read over it, in case I've made mistakes? There's a better version at my blog because it features...

I think so, too. Up to vegasat.

Thanks! That would normally work. Unfortunately, that's not possible. This programme is designed to accept a user's own regular expression, so I have to accept the full range of regular expression...

Actually, it it is looking, acting and sounding like a duck. It's a 1-tuple, so it's still a tuple. Python seems to think a 1-tuple is better expressed simply as the element within the 1-tuple,...

I have a problem guys. It's due to duck typing. Now I expected to run into something like this sooner or later, but I can't help but feel there's a better solution.

Yes, but as wooee says (though I don't really understand his code), you need to split into a list before you can sort it. I'd personally split it at '\n' and then again at ' ', so you have a list of...

I discovered what the problem was, and I will not (can't) fix it. It is the chr(0) character.

Sure thing! Glad you liked it.

I'll clean it up tomorrow (or soonish) as there are a few errors and typos, as well as elaborate on some points (such as using multiple horizontal box sizers for...

Why not just create checkboxes, hide them, and then on the event of a tree node expansion, show the corresponding checkboxes?

I suggest the standard IDLE instead. I found ActivePython lacking in features (dedent region, indent region, comment region, uncomment region) yet containing no new (useful) ones.

As for pasting...

Care to elaborate... a lot? I mean it'd help if you mentioned what GUI module you're using, for a start.

Maybe you can do something fancy with JPython?

Yep: http://www.jython.org/applets/index.html

Cheers mate! That's ace.

Sorry if the OP is a jumble; I haven't had sleep. (I repeated myself about the image grabber script.)

You mean like a Java applet? I'm not sure, but I think if you want to do that you need to learn, well, Java.

It's no small task and Java is specifically designed for the job (among other things)...
