Bruce,
FYI, python 2.5 was built against the 2005 runtime, 2.6 and 2.7 were
built with 2008, and 3.x is built against 2010.
However, if you're concerned with operations blocking or impairing the
responsiveness of your app, then you'll likely want to put your typical
GUI-handling event handlers in one thread and processing in another.

Hi Steve and Rick,
Just got home and read all the comments and yes Steve you have to
be careful for as I had stated, studio changed that run time dll each
new version they came out with. The original Python one only uses the
MSVCRT with no number, but as both progressed, into Python 2.6 and
later, along with studio from 2010 and later they started adding
numbers to that dll and those run times have to be compatible, but I
suspect it depends on what you want from it.
For I discovered that some of it is reverse compatible and I was
really only interested in the input command, and the display command,
which are MSVCRT.getch and print respectively in Python.
It is not a big priority since I can use the hotkeys since there
the hotkey is assigned to the given window you want it in, which is
perfect for what I need. The rest is how not to use up CPU time while
waiting for an input.
I will check on that link Steve, but I suspect I have already read
it.
Rick, I will take a look at what you suggested since I have not
yet experimented with projects in a major scale, just simple events
and such at the moment. I was searching for the documentation on how
to set up, make a DLL and was certain I had all that information from
the knowledge base at the beginning of the semester when searching for
the information on how to compile C++ programs and run programs
without using the IDE. For it seemed the DLL stuff was with the needed
command utilities to compile from the command prompt which I did all
semester in the C++ course. For all my programs were written using
that and all of them are now stand alone programs or .exe files. I had
to upload both the text or .cpp files along with the .exe because of
the issue with notepad changing back and forth from ANSI to Unicode
formats which seem to happen at random. My professor was using a
non-Windows compiler and it did not like Unicode formats, but Studio
was all fat dumb and happy with either format.
I just want to spend the summer working with DLL's and what I
could extract from them.
Yes Rick, it would be nice to get at least some of the commands
from that library, but as Steve hints at, Script was designed to
prevent people from using certain commands that would give hackers the
ability to hack your computer and act as a local user...
I did read up on the memory stuff this week and it does gives
examples on how to set it up and make sure you call the proper command
to destroy them, so no memory build up happens and lock up the system
if still referenced...
It is my learning tool, using games as my motivation, then the
rest comes from there; just like the text book examples do.
I got an email from someone to make the cuckoo clock program as a
stand alone without a screen reader and that could be done using the
same commands, just spelled differently and having it all come for a
simple web page that is running all the time; I think that is kind of
how things are done anyway, for lots of the commands are almost
identical, just spelled a little differently.
that person is an assistive technology person who was asking,
since some of his students do not have a screen reader program.
But, once the DLL is mastered then more hooks can be made and who
knows what I can write at that point for Windoweyes.
Thanks guys, will start reading again.
Bruce
