I'm just getting started in Python but have begun with a challenging project. It's a 2000+ line program that provides works with a GUI for essentially a video device. As such, it displays dialogs, still images, push buttons, menus, and the like. It uses OOP. Ten years ago I was into OOP with C++ and Java for several years. It's been awhile. I'm interested in modifying the GUI interface.
I've begun with IDLE and have a few questions about it. Although, I've been able to set breakpoints, I see no way to clear then all. Is there a way, and is there a way to tell what line # I'm on when examining source text? I'm not quite sure why, but when I start the Python shell via IDLE, an Open leads me to the Python 2.4.4 folder. This is not where my programs are. Is there some way to start in a directory closer where I want to be? Although I have a popular book on Python (Lucas?), I just found a short intro to Python OOP on the web that looks like a good quick start into the subject. <http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/OOP.shtml> Maybe there are others. I just figured out how to draw a line on one of the still images the program. I'm not quite sure how I did that, but it did work. Eventually, the line effort will allow me to draw a compass over the image. In any case, for that, I started getting acquainted with the ImageDraw class (Object). <http://effbot.org/imagingbook/imagedraw.htm> My question here is are there more detailed explanations somewhere for the options? For example, I found a rather helpful document at New Mexico Tech, which goes into considerable detail on options for Tkinter.
