Should I look at modifying the SCONS scripts to be able to detect and make use of Visual Studio 2005 instead of EVC, or should I go the route used by the PCBuild and PCBuild8 directories (i.e. desktop versions) where (I assume) someone has manually created a bunch of suitable project and solution files?

Re: [PythonCE] Tkinter PhotoImage, no such file or directory
Patrick Kramer wrote:
quote who=Luke Dunstan
You can tell Python using os.chdir(), but that will not necessarily have any
effect on Tkinter because the operating system has no concept of a current
directory, so it depends on whether the image file is opened in the Python
code or the C code.
Luke
So there is no way for python to return the current directory it is in?
say something like:
dir = return_dir()
image_loc = dir + //BtnGluco.gif
Or:
image_loc = dir + //assets//img//BtnGluco.gif #This is how I would like to
orgnize it
I think the situation is (perhaps Luke can correct me if I'm wrong) :
The underlying Windows CE platform has no concept of a current directory.
PythonCE *simulates* a current directory on the python level
This means that calls that use only Python code will work as normal -
except the current directory will always start in a fixed location
('//Temp' I think).
Calls to use files from C code will not have access to this information.
So you can experiment with the image_loc and see if it works using the
current directory or not, but it may not do.
To get the current directory you use the normal functions provided by
the ``os`` and ``os.path`` module :
cur_dir = os.getcwd()
print cur_dir
os.chdir(//assets)
print os.getcwd()
image_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), img//BtnGluco.gif)
You can also test whether you are running on windows CE or not with either :
sys.platform or sys.getwindowsversion()
They should return different things on windows CE and normal windows.
That means you can make your code behave appropriately depending on
which system it is on.

Re: [PythonCE] Mini IDLE update and response.
Hello Ed,
is great - it's the first useful python app. for windows CE that I've
seen - awesome. MANY MANY thanks for your work.
It's been such a pain coding with pocket notepad !
I've noticed the problem with selection as well - I guess it's a problem
with the WinCE port of Tk. The best you can do is fix the keybindings to
the cursor keys, so that selection can be done with the shift-arrow
keys. Maybe even implement ctrl-something-or-other to select a block at
a time !
Anyway - I have a bit of a wish list for IdleCE. *Mainly* related to key
bindings, but not entirely. If you could bear these in mind, I would be
personally very grateful.
In order of importance :
max 1 edit and file menu open at a time
key bindings to ctrl-c, ctr-x, ctrl-a, ctrl-v, ctrl-s (copy, cut, select
all, paste, save)
Also shift-arrow keys for selection
tab for indenting selected area
ctrl-[ and ctrl-] for indenting/unindenting selected area
tab is four spaces rather than tab
(and/or a spaces to tabs/tabs to spaces option)
comment in/comment out areas - with key bindings
As I said though... I already use IdleCE and am grateful for your work.
Do you want this put online somewhere ? Contact me off-list if you do.
Regards,
Fuzzyman

I've managed to get popup menus that work. Highlight some text, tap the
selection and a menu will appear. It is equivalent to the edit menu/window
but seems to work better for cut/copy. I have a problem with this though on
my own device (HP Ipaq, WinCE 2003). When I try to highlight text the
selection flickers and changes, like the selection is being made over and
over. If anyone can figure out what causes this I would be interested in
hearing about it.
RE the license: I think the example code I based most of this app on was
released GPL so unless I can track down the example again and verify its
license... I suppose if I verify that the example was other than GPL I
should use the python license as that is the license used on IDLE.

Re: [PythonCE] gadfly or SnakeSQL on PythonCE?
I thought gadfly was C based ? Have you compiled it for WindowsCE ? SnakeSQL is pure python and *could* work... what errors are you getting ? Regards, Fuzzy Roman Bischoff wrote: Hi I'm new to Python and new to PythonCE. However, it runs on my iPaq now. I try to run Gadfly or SnakeSQL on it. I went for gadfly and snakesql because they are written in Python. So I thought they should run without much problems. Until now I couldn't get them running. I get errors for SnakeSql that I don't get on the WinXP machine. Does somebody know whether gadfly and SnakeSql should run on PythonCE?

Re: [PythonCE] wxPython on CE
Congratulations Brian. It looks like it *might* soon be possible to develop real applications for the PocketPC using Python. A database and a GUI. Regards, Fuzzy http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/pythonutils.html Brian Retford wrote: I nearly killed myself doing so, but I have a largely functional port of wxPython to CE. It is missing a few useful things (wxHTML, XRC, etc) but by and large it works well. It required a slightly modified version of the pythonce port that everyone seems to be using (namely I removed the spinning wait cursor, because wx is always doing something). I also made a pythonw that doesn't launch an interpreter. I can release binaries and source for any of these things. The CE port of wxPython is not presently in any state to contribute back to wxpython.org, sadly. I'd really like to get it there because I'd like both python on ce and wxpython to be supported by these projects formally. Let me know if there is interest and I'll get the files out there.
