[Q] About an Installer Script for PyWin

2006-08-25 Thread Mr. Roboto
I need PyWin under the covers, that is, to install it as part of an application, but in such a way that it isn't visible to users. I'm concerned about a so-called "power-user", seeing the Python directory and/or the corresponding entry in the 'Add/Remove Programs' list, breaking my app by uninstal

Simple Char-I/O Dialogs for Win32 and DOS

2006-06-14 Thread Mr Roboto
Folks: I've already searched the group and have determined there *are* char I/O based input systems, ala NCURSES, that are Python-compatible (ie. PyNCurses, UrWid, etc.) What I *need* is something that does simple dialogs under char-I/O Win32 and DOS w/ very little fuss or muss. At most, I need
