Re: Microsoft's challenger to Python
All the touted features and the integration with .Net and the friendly Visual Studio IDE will make it a fearsome adversary. And the name clearly suggests where it intends to harvest converts. Interesting times ahead. On 02/07/2008 06:07 PM, Peter Dilley wrote: Looks like Microsoft has a language aimed at taking all of Pythons strengths and attacking its weaknesses. Quoted as a compiled language that has optional dynamic binding. I've just started investigating the web site, but this is looking to shape up to a rather decent challenge to Python for an easy and expressive language with compiled performance on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. I am not, however, an in depth language nutter, so would appreciate any of our more learned readers comments.

Re: Auto execute python in USB flash disk
I suspect he wants to do this just for the kicks. Just for completion, Truecrypt does precisely what you need. It has to be installed, but you could carry the installer unencrypted in the same USB drive.

There are files that I carry on a USB flash drive that I would like to password protect. Essentially, I would like to password protect an entire directory of files. Is there a way to auto execute a python script after a user double clicks to open a folder on the USB drive? How can you capture that double click event on a specific folder? Thanks. Unless you are just doing this to learn, I would suggest you purchase USB key with encryption included. They are REALLY cheap. http://www.kingston.com/flash/DataTravelers_enterprise.asp -Larry NOTA: La informacion de este correo es de propiedad exclusiva y confidencial.

Re: finding monitor or screen resolution in Linux with standard python module
I'm using Beryl too, and xwininfo -root gives te correct resolution. akbar wrote: I googled and searched in archive. All I can find is finding resolution with Tkinter and pygame. Any idea to find monitor resolution with standard python module? I can check from output of: xprop -root _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY(CARDINAL) . The problem is when you use Beryl or Xgl, it is not correct anymore because Beryl or Xgl set this value from amount of workspaces multiplied by monitor or screen resolution.
