I was using winsound module for the first time to use it on one of my small app,and it didn't even gave me a BEEP!.

I imported winsound module first.

>>> import winsound
>>>

then

winsound.Beep(37,10)

leads to nothing!
Any kinda help is appreciated.

We could make this a post where we share idèe how to get wxpython to look fancy and modern.
I think we are many that like wxpython and want it to look good.

Here are a link for a fancy window.

Mores style tips are welcome.......

It should be possible i think.

Here is my alarmclock made for fun,where i testet out diffrent style with wxpython.
Use transparent png images ang png image buttons.

how bout window having circular or oval or any random shape.Is that possible?Is the idea practical ?

Can anyone provide information on available gui c toolkits?

here is my setup file

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
if len(sys.argv) == 1:
    sys.argv.append("py2exe")

setup( options = {"py2exe": {"compressed":1, "optimize": 2, "ascii":1,"includes": ["Tkinter"], "bundle_files": 3}},
       zipfile = None,
       
       
       windows = [{"script": "C:\\Python27\\ask.py"}])

Insert the full path to the script instead of just the 'ask.py'.

Cheers and Happy coding

i really appreciated ur reply but still didn't work for me ,though displayed some more lines of processing.... still stuck with

i just wanted to make my program executable on windows without python installed in it.

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys

if len(sys.argv) == 1:
    sys.argv.append("py2exe")

setup( options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1, "optimize": 2, "ascii": 1, "bundle_files": 3}},
       zipfile = None,
       
       ##data_files = ['apple.jpg', 'cheese.jpg'],
       
       #Can use windows or console,replace my_file.py with py file you want to make exe off.
       #If not run in same folder give path /mydir/my_file.py
       windows = [{"script": 'my_file.py'}])

Or use gui2exe

I was searching solution for py2exe problem(the exe file didn't work for my simple gui program using tkinter).then i found ur code.I tried it using python2.7 idle ,reaching bout halfway raised following error:
