unix style command line ?
by Peter Sommerfeld Dec. 29, 1998

Dec. 29, 1998

I've played al little with the unix style command line but cannot get anything to work except passing the path of a python file. Does passing options or args work and if so how ? (I don't have any clue about the propper format of an unix style command line and had to rely on the docs). - Peter

Mac native applets...
by Gordon Worley Dec. 22, 1998

Dec. 22, 1998

Hello, I have been using Python for some time on my Mac. I have attempted from time to time to code an applet that behaves much like a Mac application (like the IDE, for example). Unfortunatly, I have had quite a bit of trouble figuring out all of the basics needed to write Mac software. I have looked through numerous books, but most of them discuss the usage of a particular IDE on the Macintosh, therefore omitting important details about the workings of Mac applications. Short of reading through mountains of Inside Macintosh, does anyone know of a book that teaches about the Toolbox, AppleEvents, resource forks, the file system, and other system resources that is very straight forward and easily translatable to Python. P.S. I am sorry for the newbie-ishness of my question, but I figured that after spending several months searching for just the right book, Python users with more experience in this field might be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you for any help in advance. ________________________________________ Red Bird Island Productions Gordon Worley http://www.crosswinds.net/orlando/~redbird/ mailto:redbird@orlando.crosswinds.net

Applescript-Python cooperation
by Th. Fettig Dec. 14, 1998

Dec. 14, 1998

While looking for Applescript/AppleEvent-Support in Python 1.4, i found out that there was no way to talk to running applescripts. What i had in mind was an interface that should allow constructing a complex appleevent, containing arguments of types like strings and file references, sending it to a known handler (by handler name) of the script, with tha ability to receive return values or events. Does any of this functionalty exist in Python 1.5? The Python-1.4 way of integrating applescriptable applications (the 'concept' of ripping the aete-resource and converting it) seems not feasible. Has anybody tried to solve this problem? How did it end? TIA Tom

timegm() C API causing extension-building probs - PLZ HELP!
by Jason McVay Dec. 9, 1998

Dec. 9, 1998

hey all-- i don't quite know if this is a simple question or not, but alas i've looked for an answer and couldn't find one, so i've decided to come to you guys. when i try to build lemberg's mxTextTools, mxTools, or mxDateTime extensions, i always have compilation errors dealing with a variable that's based on a file timegm.c in the mxDateTime docs, lemberg warns that "if you don't have the timegm() C API on your platform, edit the Setup file accordingly; if you don't know, try running make: the linker will tell you if it can't find the timegm symbol. The next Python release (1.5.2) will do the needed checking for you, until then you'll have to edit the file manually... " ok, i admit that i'm new to this programming game, but what can i use in lieu of unix-ie timegm.c? thanks for any (directions to) answers... jason ----- For powerful, dynamic OO programming, go to http://www.python.org Python Rules!
