[PythonCE] tk/tcl
I have been playing around with tk/tcl over the last week at various times. It seems to work quite well. I have loaded on a variety of demo type programs to see what works and what doesn't. I have also run some programs for a day or so to see what happens on long-running tasks. So far it seems quite good. One big issue is that the programs don't run as WM apps. This is a problem. I do need them to run like standard WM apps. One of the other things I wanted was signature capture. But I have had problems using the stylus with the canvas. This may well be because I have no real idea how tk/tcl works. And what I need to change to get the mouse movements and the draw working. The basic python port seems really good. I have been running tests with sockets and threads to talk to a simple twisted server and so far without making it too complicated it has all hung together, I imagine that the port for python without the WM gui support will slow down take-up. I see that someone was starting to look at Venster for CE, but I haven't heard any more. That seems like it might be a lot of work. I did take a quick look at wxpyce, but got the problem of not enough memory, so I backed off for the moment. I'm now wondering what my best next move might be. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Re: [PythonCE] tk/tcl
(I sent this message 2 hrs earlier with a couple of embedded files. The attached files seem to be the cause for holding up the posting of the message on the board) Anyways, here are the final steps for getting your installation working ---. You are almost there! Looks like you need tcl. Download this file and unzip it. it is a later version of tcl than the one that you were using. tcltk8_4_12_ce-arm.zip Place the lib directory under your \\Program files\\ directory. You can ignore the directory called bin which contains the three files, celib, tcl84.dll and tk84.dll since you have already copied into your Windows directory. So your Python installation directory structure now looks like this... \\Program files\\Python25 \\Program files\\lib \\Windows\\ ...those three files with the names of the files that were in the directory called bin Your are now ready to start coding! With the files from this lib, you will also be able to use bwidgets as well as Tkinter widgets. There are also iwidgets which I haven't tried yet. Plus, if you want to tcl then copy the tcls84h.exe and wish84.exe files into your Windows directory as well. And if you want a cool table widget, you can use the following file. Place it in your lib directory along side of the bwidget directory etc. Tktable2.zip John Aherne wrote: Bandung wrote: Place these two files in your \\Python25\\Lib directory and then run root = Tkinter.Tk() again. http://www.nabble.com/file/5569/Tkinter.py Tkinter.py http://www.nabble.com/file/5570/Tkinter.pyc Tkinter.pyc again, soft reset is always a good idea at this point. Thanks for the 2 files. I removed everything and started from scratch again. Soft reset after each stage. Installed python25 Copied in celib,tcl84,tk84 into \\windows. Copied Tkinter.py, Tkinter.pyc into python25\lib along with os.py that was there already. Import Tkinter is OK root = Tkinter.Tk() gives exactly same problem as before Invalid command name 'tcl_findLibrary' Makes me think some fundamental bit is missing from the python25 install.

Actually, my point is that seeing as this is done with Tk - it ought to be possible with PythonCE ! :-) (Tkinter is just a bridge into Tk/Tcl) It's a shame IronPython can't be made to work with the compact .NET framework. :-( All the best, Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/shareware.shtml I have waded into this Tkintering thingy because of the lack of an up to date wxPython capability for the poacketpc. I would probably consider learning wx before embarking on tcl. But boy, is it tempting!!! If I'm still being frustrrated with my existing pocketpc development tools three months from now, then its off to tcling I go. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tk-Tcl-Widgets-t1646602.html#a4461524 Sent from the Python - pythonce forum at Nabble.com. ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
[PythonCE] Tk/Tcl Widgets
Hello all, I wondered if you'd seen this : http://wiki.tcl.tk/8442 It's a GUI built with Tk/Tcl for the PocketPC. It certainly shows what is possible. :-) Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/shareware.shtml ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
