Dear all,

Ganesh Katrapati forked GillyCricket project and added a new file called
GillyLive.py which fetches the score in regular interval of time and
displays it using system notifications alone (does not require GUI
packages).

README file format changed to MARKDOWN. So it looks decent now than before
:-)

Thanks for Ganesh Katrapati and looking for more contributions from others
too. If you get new ideas, please feel free to fork it, add it. Ideas are
also most welcome.

Check both repository here:-
1. My Repo:- https://github.com/PrasannaVenkadesh/GillyCricket
2. Ganesh Katrapati's repo:- https://github.com/neshkatrapati/GillyCricket

I have sent you in offlist to your mail id personally, since it deals with
Windows stuff, this place would not be right to put and even i don't want
to bring in Windows discussion into Linux user group mailing list. :-)

[Ilugc] Basic Cricket Score Fetching App - Python + Tkinter

2012-04-09 Thread Prasanna Venkadesh
Dear friends,

Cricket Season and fever started. So got an idea of developing a small
application (Free Software - GNU GPL Licensed) using Python + Tkinter.
I have named it as Gilly Cricket.

Motivation (he he :p)
When i was using my laptop at college - cricket match being telecasted -
unable to watch from college - friend of mine having mobile phone -
connected via Bluetooth and used DUN profile to get Internet access - much
slower to get scores via webpages - Nurtured idea to develop this.

Hosted at Github.com
https://github.com/PrasannaVenkadesh/GillyCricket

Cross-platform support. I request to go through README file before
executing or installing.

Looking for feedbacks. Basic version, so not more feature or information
will be fetched. Will improve it based on your suggestions and feedbacks!

#1 Why commit a .zip file (Gilly.zip) into a git repo? Try to keep
only sources in the repo.

#2 Please use a try-except IOError construct when opening a file.

#3 Please remove the feeds file after use.

#4 You might consider writing the data to a yaml or json file so you
decouple the data with the front-end. This way you can test your GUI
on different front-ends - mobile phones, tablets, large screens et.
al.

#5 Try to write separate functions for fetching and writing data to a
file, GUI initialization, displaying data on the UI et. al.

I included zip files for Windows binary, since py2exe generates binaries
and support files to run python files without having python installed in
the windows. Since there were number of support files. I zipped it and
uploaded it. Can you suggest me if there are any other way to that?



 #2 Please use a try-except IOError construct when opening a file.

I thought of doing, but forget. Thanks for reminding.



 #4 You might consider writing the data to a yaml or json file so you

Will look at it for sure.



 #5 Try to write separate functions for fetching and writing data to a

Yeah, i didn't follow coding standards, will modify it :D and thanks for
spending your valuable time on this.

You will need to make a release for it from the sources, and ship the
release files as a separate binary (like .rpm, or .deb).

While you can provide support in your sources to build different
binaries, there is no use to store binaries when it differs between
platforms and architectures.

Today it is only these binary files, but, tomorrow it can be for other
platforms and architectures. If a person is interested in only, say
ARM architecture, why would they want to get the binaries for all the
platforms from the sources?

If one wants to build for a specific architecture, they can get the
source and build it themselves, or they can use the separate binary
that you release.

Keep the sources clean, and not taint with binaries.
