Maybe an icon with a kind of strobe/ line effect will do; a bounce or launched from a canon like.. much akin to what is done in cartoons. ae ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
[Pythonmac-SIG] PythonCard on OS X 10.4
Hi, trying to install PythonCard on OS X 10.4, but running into an import problem. I installed python2.4.1, wxPython2.6, TigerPython24Fix and TigerPython23Compat from Bob's packages page and added /usr/local/bin to my path. Python2.4 runs fine and I can import wx fine, but not pythoncard.. anyone know what can be wrong? Thanks, Arthur. ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

I've looked into various options - such as portaudio using a python wrapper - but since portability isn't really I issue I was wondering if there was a more direct (and simpler approach). There's the Carbon.Snd module, which interfaces to the old Sound Manager, and there's the Quicktime module. I don't think the Quicktime module as shipped with Python 2.3 (which Apple ships with 10.3) supports capturing, but I think that the Quicktime module in 2.4 should support it. But: I don't know of people who have tried it, so please report back here whether it works. You can also download and install the new Quicktime for Python 2.3: if you open the experimental database in Package Manager you'll see it listed. I installed the backport to 2.3 of Quicktime from Bob's page. Is there any documentation on how to use this? A simple movieplayer example perhaps? Is Apple's Speech manager also being worked on?

With Python, it is far less condusive to "playing" and therefore seems to hold me somewhere around the print "hello world" stage. I didn't follow this thread from the beginning, but did anyone bring up PythonCard? I also previously used REALbasic and also have some Proce55ing experience. I did struggle to get started with Python, but PythonCard that is based on wxPython got me going. The PythonCard folks have the intention to make Python as easy to use as REALbasic. They aren't there yet, that's for sure, but it is useable. Another fun project is DrawBot by Just, it's a Proce55ing like program to learn about graphics. One of the drawbacks of using wxPython in my experience, was the threading support, something I really had to fight with; message queues? My next try will be PyObjC as it builds on a good application framework, but unfortunately it's not very cross platform friendly. (Does anyone know if Mono will have a Python binding?) My 2 euro cents. Arthur ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Python access to RS-232, USB, MIDI?

I haven't decided on an actual head tracker, but am looking at a Polhemus. (Comments on head trackers are also welcomed--gaming devices or 3D mice?) It looks like that I might need to communicate via RS-232 or USB (is there a MIDI tracker?). I want to keep this simple and clobber the problem with minimum fuss, so naturally I think of Python, AppleScript, etc. I'm pretty much a neophyte with such things (although I wrote a 3D plotting program for a Tektronix pen plotter a _long_ time ago). Have a look at what http://www.makingthings.com has to offer. They built really nice IO modules (USB, serial, etc.) for mere mortals (read artists) that hook up to almost anything from Flash to Max/MSP, Java, C, etc. I haven't checked recently if there's a python binding already, but it shouldn't be hard for an experienced programmer to create. We've had great success with our art students working with these modules. Arthur ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
