Developer's Corner / Re: Writing Arinoid using pyGame (4 ShowMeDo videos)
« Last post by tinjaw on January 18, 2007, 10:49 AM »
Yesterday was my first experience with pygame. I have been working with v 2.5 since I first started with python. So yesterday I loaded up 2.4 and all of the other stuff I needed. I got the demos to work with a bit of effort and Googling. With that all done, I'm going to spend some time with the videos.

How does this compare to SWIG? I'm really interested in finding ways to make C++ libraries work in Python :)

There is some comparison info on the Py++ site.

Don't forget that version 2.5 has ctypes as part of the standard library, so in some cases it is easy enough to just sling some raw python code at the problem.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA Text file of Folder contents
« Last post by tinjaw on January 17, 2007, 04:58 PM »
igors,

What a great opportunity to begin your exciting adventure into the world of programming!!! This would be a great first project. Create a simple batch file, called DIR2TXT.BAT that takes one argument, the directory you wish to send to the file. Then maybe expand upon it to take a second argument that is the name of the file you want the names to go into.

I'm sure many of us here would help you through it.

Hints
  • Take a look at the /B option for the DIR command.
  • Research "redirecting" stdout to a file.
  • Look for help on the Web, like this.

Developer's Corner / Re: Stupid database date picker
« Last post by tinjaw on January 17, 2007, 04:46 PM »
In general terms there should be an event for when the data is being committed to the database. In that event check the value of the date field. If the value is null, then grab the value of the calendar control. Set the data field to the value of the calendar control.

Sorry, but I don't know C#, [ yet  ;) ], nor do I have Visual C# installed, so I can't be more specific than that presently. But the info I've provided should get you where you need to be.

Holly hack, it hates find and run!
Nevertheless, it is a good idea, Something i should thing about implementing in gridmove.
Very interesting post, ken. I'll keep this around ;)

I use gridmove constantly. I'm not sure that auto-arranging windows would be all that useful. I like putting windows right where I want them. However, adding the options to remove borders, status bars, etc. could be useful when you are dealing with smaller windows.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Page Headers by Veign
« Last post by tinjaw on January 17, 2007, 06:01 AM »
Veign,

I think the natural evolution of the site is to link to information about the domain. I'm not sure if it make sense to go as far as dnsstuff.com, but at least some basic information about the domain most likely would be helpful to visitors. You might even use that information to get better targeted AdSence ads.

Nice web app. I can think of one suggestion. Make the tokens in the header links to explanations of what those tokens are used for.

For example:

Developer's Corner / Py++
« Last post by tinjaw on January 13, 2007, 09:18 AM »
As I learn more and more python, I am starting to branch out into other areas. Today I am researching how to utilize the gargantuan amounts of C++ code that is already out in the wild. I may have stumbled upon a silver bullet with the combination of Py++ and Boost.Python.

The process becomes one of putting the C++ source code through Py++ to generate the code necessary to utilize Boost.Python. The end result is C++ code that is easily utilized by pythonistas in a pythonic manner.

What is Py++?

Definition:

    Py++ is an object-oriented framework for creating a code generator for Boost.Python library.

Py++ uses few different programming paradigms to help you to expose C++ declarations to Python. This code generator will not stand on your way. It will guide you through the whole process. It will raise warnings in the case you are doing something wrong with a link to the explanation. And the most important it will save your time - you will not have to update code generator script every time source code is changed.
Code generation process

Boost.Python library allows you to expose C++ code to Python in quick and elegant way. Code generation process, using Py++ consists from few steps. Next paragraphs will tell you more about every step.

Features list

    * Py++ support almost all features found in Boost.Python library
    * Py++ generates code, which will help you to understand compiler generated error messages
    * Py++ has few modes of writing code into files:
          o single file
          o multiple files
          o multiple files, where single class code is split to few files
    * Py++ will save your compilation time - it will rewrite a file, only in case of change
    * You have full control over generated code. Your code could be inserted almost anywhere.
    * Your license is written at the top of every file
    * Py++ will check the "completeness" of the bindings. It will check for you that the exposed declarations don't have references to unexposed ones.
    * Py++ provides enough functionality to extract source code documentation and write it as Python documentation string
    * Py++ provides simple and powerful framework to create a wrapper for functions, which could not be exposed as is to Python.
    * ...

His whole concept is flawed. Threads exist in different forums for a very good reason. Communities. I don't want to be a part of some uber-mega-forum that includes everybody. There are thousands upon thousands of disparate forums on the Internet and just as many reasons why they are separate forums.

guess I need to start checking this website if they are going to have software that I love for a big discount.

They posted something back in December that they had gotten enough attention and good press for these discounts that they were starting to get contacted by some of the more mainstream/established developers and that 2007 should bring some new and exciting discounts. Let's hope so.

I cannot of course speak for the requesters, but I would assume they want to be able to compile against the Cygwin libraries. You can run setup.exe from the Cygwin site and select all of the development stuff and it will grab all of the header files for the libraries.

Developer's Corner / Linux Kernel in a Nutshell Available For Download
« Last post by tinjaw on January 11, 2007, 11:46 AM »
From the book's author's website:

Secret Goal (i.e. why I wrote this book and am giving it away for free online)
I want this book to help bring more people into the Linux kernel development fold. The act of building a customized kernel for your machine is one of the basic tasks needed to become a Linux kernel developer. The more people that try this out, and realize that there is not any real magic behind the whole Linux kernel process, the more people will be willing to jump in and help out in making the kernel the best that it can be.

Developer's Corner / Writing Arinoid using pyGame (4 ShowMeDo videos)
« Last post by tinjaw on January 10, 2007, 08:37 AM »
from gmane.comp.python.announce

Summary:
Chuck Arellano created 4 pyGame videos during 2006 which show the
viewer how to build an Arinoid (Arkanoid-like) game clone.  Full src
and graphics are provided:
http://showmedo.com/...ArellanoPyGameSeries

Detail:
Chuck produced the videos and is considering completing the set
by producing the 5th (and final) video.  If you like his efforts,
would you leave a comment on one of the pyGame pages encouraging
him to complete the set?  All authors like to know that their
work is valued!

About ShowMeDo.com:
Free videos (we call them ShowMeDos) showing you how to do things. 
The videos are made by us and our users, for everyone.  56 of our
122 videos are for Python, with more to come.

We'd love to have more contributions - would you share what you know?

The founders,
Ian Ozsvald, Kyran Dale
