disablelevels/enablelevels() in log.py incorrectly mapped

2010-03-23T15:27:09Z

The globally defined enablelevels and disablelevels functions calls log.enablelevels(levels) which does not exist. Should be log.enableLevels(levels)

Currrent code:
log = Log()
def enablelevels(levels): log.enablelevels(levels)
def disablelevels(levels): log.disablelevels(levels)

Should read:
log = Log()
def enablelevels(levels): log.enableLevels(levels)
def disablelevels(levels): log.disableLevels(levels)

The Main function calls are correct.
Unless I, of course, am missing something obvious.

html document contains reference to images on SF site

2010-03-04T19:36:03Z

Hello,
I'm forwarding the Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=397140

"""
local html documents should be self contained.
since sourceforge is often unreachable local documentation is then
laking all pictures.

I would suggest placing all images referenced from the web pages in a
images/ directory like they are currently on sourceforge too, and then
make all links relative.

That way html documentation works locally and remotly on sourceforge
without modification.

Beside, it is really annoying to have to go online to read local
documentation.
"""

Indeed:

pythoncard-0.8.2/docs$ grep img -w * -r | grep "pythoncard.sourceforge.net" -c
42

if would be nice if those images can be stored in docs/html/images so that documentation can be viewable completely offline.

Regards,
Sandro

nothing works or does anything

2009-10-11T10:59:19Z

Can't find any tools, nor examples that do anything but hang the system.
running FC10, Python 2.5.2. I can't get anything to work that resembles the docs. I know Windows (except Vista) and have many Windows clients. Personally, I find Windows very cumbersome and often hostile (unless I spend many thousands of dollars on "products")..

Selecting some components in editors makes them move

2008-11-11T20:54:39Z

Using Windows XP SP3 + wxPython 2.8.9.x + Python 2.5(or 2.6), if you select an existing component in the resource or layout editor tools it shifts. Not all components are affected:

code editor
tree
list
multicolumn list
calendar
spinner
gauge
HTML control

The spinner shifts left 1 pixel, the gauge left and up, the rest down and right 2 pixels.

There is another report on the user list of the same components shifting a lot more in Ubuntu. I have tested in OpenBSD but no components seem to shift in that.

MultiColumnList in OSX saves size as (-1,-1)

2008-11-10T22:14:23Z

PythonCard deliberately sets the size to (-1,-1) in propertyEditor.py if the component's size matches the call to GetBestSize() - under OSX GetBestSize() is not staying constant for the multicolumn list and keeps matching the new size....hence size always gets set to (-1,-1).

Well done if you managed to follow that last sentence.

(You can get the same result under Windows XP, if you resize the component to exactly GetBestSize()'s calculation of the minimum size. You are unlikely to see this in the real world.)

There appear to be 2 issues - a possible bug in GetBestSize() since the release of 2.7.x, and some clarification as to why the size needs to be set to (-1,-1). The comments in propertyEditor.py indicate that there is some doubt as to the purpose of setting (-1,-1).

I have attached a test that shows the problem, along with the results I see here.

Windows installer does not finish under Python 2.6

2008-11-10T21:37:54Z

The PythonCard MSI installer fails at the post-install stage and no start menu items get created. To use the PythonCard tools you need to create the shortcuts manually.

Checking the mailing list, this happened a few years ago when Python 2.4 was released. It looks like the installer needs updating

code editor

2008-08-12T23:12:32Z

wxPython is working

I have search everywhere for a solution to this problem
Thank You

[Win32] potentially broken start menu links

2008-06-10T03:28:56Z

Setup: Windows XP, PythonCard 0.8.2, Python 2.5.2

Some of the Start Menu shortcuts/links generated by the PythonCard installer do not enclose the target .py files in quotes. Thus, when these .py files have spaces in their path (e.g. if the default Python install is in C:\Program Files), running them from the start menu fails silently. Adding double quotes around the .py files specified in these shortcuts fixes the problem.

This applies to these start menu shortcuts:
Code Editor
Find Files
Layout Editor
Resource Editor
Tabbed Code Editor
Uninstall PythonCard
