Re: [Tutor] compilte python to an executable file.
hi, I face a typical problem that most python programmers face. Most users only want a click and run kind of thing..they are uninterested to install any software on their system , be it python or any other software..so the solution is to pack the code up as a py2exe program for windows and ask them to click it and run... Is there any solution where i dont ask any software to be installed(ie., python) and still be able to assure that if they click something, they get the result that they need?... py2exe partially succeeds in answering this..by packing things up...however any compiled pyc code can easily be decompiled to get the source..its geared towards windows and in linux, we (always) assume that the users are savvy enough and interested to install python if its not already installed...so is the case with mac.

Re: [Tutor] compilte python to an executable file.
Hi jack, You are right. py2exe may not fit well in commercial software products that arent in the open source model. An executable that was py2exe'd could well be converted back to the source.. I feel that its one of the restrictions thats in the way of enterprization of python...(agreed google uses python..but thats internal.. they dont deploy py files in customer's computers).correct me if i am wrong...

[Tutor] Time Controlled Execution
Hi, I want to know how to do this: I have an executable file, which reads input from stdin provided output at stdout or stderr. I have to run it for a specific period of time (say 5 secs), get the output and display it. If i use popen(), this way: from subprocess import * p = Popen(["test","test.out"], shell=True) p.wait() print p.stdin,p.stdout I dont get output in p.stdout.Apart from this, can u say how to stop this subprocess after 5 secs (or whatever time frame specified)? signal SIGALRM may not work (as i want it to work in windows & unix). -Varun ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
