yeah that would be nice. so much for windows 7 being "my idea"

Anyone know the developers? Anyone else waiting for 3.x support? This is the only thing keeping me from upgrading to python 3.1 ....

I appreciate both comments. I'll check out pyscripter and I'll look over the globals again. It just seems weird to me that the old variables don't get overwritten at next run.

Yes. It works fine as a standalone as well.

Here's my problem. I wx application that works great until I close it (leaving the idle editing session open) and then restart it. Then parts of the program see variables that should be things like...

Any idea for windows?

What is the consensus on the best way reference module level variables? I have a wx app that has grown too large, so I started to do some housekeeping. I'm trying to move several functions outside...

yeahaha. Found a solution:

added the "includes" option in the py2exe script. Posted is the new opts variable in the py2exe script to reflect the working change.

sounds like you want someone to write it for you. If not, there's a sticky post near the top of the python section that details graphical user interface programming for python beginners.

I've googled this quite a bit and can't find a way to tell if a file is currently being accessed or at least written to. Anyone dealt with this before? If one app if writing to a file another can be...

For anyone searching this looking for an answer, I made a simple workaround vbs script. The app builds it, executes it and then closes itself. The vbs has a delay built into it so file access doesnt...

-thanks for the help

thanks for the post.. that definitely helps, the prog still goes non responsive sometimes tho.

How do you keep a wx frame from not responding while the code is running in the background? ie a search or other demanding function.

I would but SetSelection requires an integer to indicate the list position you would like to set it to..

How do you bind something like a listbox to an event, but keep that events default actions... ie when you bind a listbox to EVT_RIGHT_DOWN it overrides the SetSelection method that is normally...
