So, how do I distinguish Pythons from C++s because I saw somewhere that some functions are not available in wxPy

Thanks Paul, It helps alot but you have to go through all C++ stuffs. Isn't there sorted methods somewhere only for Python with no C++ stuffs?

Thanks again

I want to subclass My App and I hit the wall. If I don't subclass it works!

Hi all,
Im very New to My SQL and have done alot of googling and simple studies. I have two Questions:
1. Where can I start with Complete no knowledge of MySQL and databases in general (though i know a little)
2. I have tried to play with MySQL for a time now, but I wonder how can mysql be run in application as standalone server. I have read somewhere that you can run it as DLL server if you call it but I have no idea on what it is done. I want to do that In Python Application. I posted in Python forum but people seem to be not interested in topic.

Thanks alot,
Steve

Yah That is the problem!
Thanks Ene.

I'm Learning python Also. I started with learning general syntax and now I'm trying to make simple wordpad as my fist module. Then I will go for databases ..... etc. Just pick simple project in real word app and play around to be more familiar with python

Yes!
Python bundles the interpreter (Pythonxx.dll) with your code and make executable file to run on windows. Just google for G2py. It is one of py2exe gui version . Basically you use py2exe

Hope it helps

Just to add on that, I want to put my icons in a folder named icons in the same folder as my script. How do I reference them in code without error "File so and so.png does not exist"

Thanks again

Which version of the Netbeans IDE did you download for Python coding?

I started with NB 6.1 with nbpython plugin but Now I use NB 6.5 Beta with nbpython milestone 6. It have been blessing to work All my projects Python, PHP and C/C++ on same IDE
Netbeans: www.netbeans.org
Nbpython: www.nbpython.dev.java.net

Another Question: What if I write python Code and want to make it run as java code with Jython?

I'm really enjoying python in my Netbeans IDE. I would like to know extensive difference between these version of Python: Cpython, Jython, Iron python, pypy .....etc (You can add it). What is the main difference? Why all these versions? What are end products of all these versions? (.exe, .jar, etc). Why should I use one of them? Can I have all of them? Why?

You can add as many question as you can as well as answer as much as you can.

Steve

Yes, The tutorial is Good but at the end only one "Complex" example! Can anyone provide simple example with wx python as Gui to do very simple manipulation? May be one table with three rows and columns, then manipulate those rows and columns as example. I think that will be good example for database Newbies

Thanks I'm going to check and soon will be back! Feel free to add anything else

For IDE to use with
Netbeans IDE (www.netbeans.org) with Nbpython plugin (www.nbpython.dev.java.net)
or you can use eclipse(I think it is www.eclipse.org) with pydev plugin (search it at www.sourceforge.net)

Hello Guys,
Here we have monitoring system using telnen address. I hate dos black window and I want to wrapp that address to Nice Gui. I have no clue how to do rather than hear something about piping! I want to catch keyboard commands (like press F9 to display all) to Gui buttons and output screen to a formatted text control. I also want to group alarms due to severity (Green, amber, red) and much more. Can one point to me how to do it??

Thanks guys

Thanks alot digital-ether,
I will go and do it, but anyone who wants to add, it is welcomed!

S.

IF you work on vista, right click the installer (py2exe) and run as admin. That will install fine. You can use Gui tools for py2exe. Just google for Gui2exe, Gpy2exe (This worked for me), pyinstaller and pybuilder.

Tell me how you progress

Try Gpy2exe. It work for me
here it is
