[Tutor] finding path to resource files in a GUI application

Hi Currently I'm writing a GUI application with wxPython (on OS X, but I guess the problem is the same, regardless of the UNIX derivative one is using). When I start the main script where it is located the application finds all resource files (non-Python files like images and html files fo

Kristiano, It is sometimes hard to tell the indentions in an email but it looks like your last line print "Just right" has a space in front of it. Python does not know what logical block the indented part belongs to. John Ertl -Original Message- From: Kristiano Ang [mailto:[EMAIL PR

Javier, Allen, Kent, Liam Hmm, I think I understand what you all are saying. Basically, my familiar take on "code reuse" (the function model) as used in the utility is essentially not rewriting any more of a block than what is different, as opposed to "do all" blocks with convoluted switchi
