Re: [Tutor] Please use plain text.

What small text is small? the same thing happens with gmail, and afaik almost every other graphical email client that supports html emails. With text based clients it's often even worse, since they don't support it at all and show the html code. On some lists there is the option to strip such formatting, maybe you don't see it because you configured it so. Personally, I'd rather see these mail lists turn into forums formats. [...] please no! I can follow a mailing list from almost everywhere, as long as I have a cell phone, but I need a proper internet connection and a proper pc to follow a forum like that This is about the best forum format I know. Maybe the difference is they seem to have a lot of bucks, but here we are using old inexpensive technology. There are simpler versions of the forum cited. Lots of software and hardware mfgers use them. There are various free (as in speech) software forum managers, that example is using one (phpbb) and it's not superior expensive technology, it's just a different, IMHO inferior, technology that works for communities and general chatting, but is not as versatile as a mailing list for technical discussions -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' email: elena.valha...@gmail.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Executing a C Program from RH Linux in Python for Win
On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 6:01 PM, Wayne Watson sierra_mtnv...@sbcglobal.net wrote: To be clear. The program I'm trying to execute under Win XP was compiled on a RH Linux machine. It was not compile on a Win OS machine. It may sound far fetched some facility might be available to do this, but somewhere in my very, very distant past before the small computers, these sorts of things were possible, usually through a simulator of some sort. It is not a far-fetched requirement: the reverse, i.e. running windows binary under linux is often possible and regularily used, but it requires a specific tool for the job, in the linux case wine, that translates every system call. It's not an easy task, and I doubt that there is something for windows to do so, but there may be a solution using some virtualizing layer and a minimal linux installation, depending on what is needed from the red hat executable. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' email: elena.valha...@gmail.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] wxPython vs PyQt
2009/3/16 Neven Goršić neven.gor...@gmail.com: I just would like to correct my incomplete PyQT pricing list from above and mislead none. If you intent to write commercial programs you have to pay: 400 EURO for PyQT AND 3000 EURO for QT !!! actually, QT is moving to LGPL, so in the near future you may be able not to pay anything even for writing some proprietary programs anyway, you're still free to use the GPL version to play around with it and to develop free software apps -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' email: elena.valha...@gmail.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
