Hi Steve,
Thanks, the python versions I had read up on when finally finding the
correct PyInstaller version, 2.0, for it uses those versions and stores them
where needed when compiling. I was having issues when using 2.5 or 2.7 version
of Python but once I found the correct PyInstaller version and from the correct
web site, all the errors, finding the MSVCRT.dll file went away...

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
