Graphing capablility in Mac Python
by Anthony M. Ingraldi Aug. 23, 1998

Aug. 23, 1998

Hello, Is there a module available that will provide routines for creating simple line graphs and scatter plots? I was thinking of using AppleEvents to send data to KaleidaGraph or some other package but that seems sluggish. Another alternative would be to use a Canvas widget from Tk. I would prefer to use a module designed specifically for plotting rather than writing one via Tkinter. -- Tony Ingraldi | e-mail: A.M.INGRALDI(a)LaRC.NASA.GOV NASA Langley Research Center | Mail Stop 267 | Phone : (757) 864-3039 Hampton, VA 23681-0001 | Fax : (757) 864-7892 _______________ PYTHONMAC-SIG - SIG on Python for the Apple Macintosh send messages to: pythonmac-sig(a)python.org administrivia to: pythonmac-sig-request(a)python.org _______________

Does anyone out there know why the mac's time module counts seconds from 1 jan 1900? The mac's epoch is 4 years later.

Lost maillist messages thursday eve (6/18) to friday noon (6/19)
by Ken Manheimer June 23, 1998

June 23, 1998

Some of you may have lost postings posted to one of the following maillists between last thursday (6/18) evening and friday (6/19) noon. Mailman-Developers (1 msg) Matrix-SIG (8 msgs) DB-SIG (3 msgs) Doc-SIG (4 msgs) Pythonmac-SIG (3 msgs) XML-SIG (1 msg) Trove-Dev (6 msgs) This happened accompanying an upgrade of our maillist software, mailman, due to an bad interaction between a new mailman feature and an anti-spam (anti-relay) mechanism applied to python.org's sendmail configuration. This problem did not show during testing because our test recipients were all local, and not subject to the anti-relay constraints. If you sent something to any of these lists during that time frame and never saw it show, you may want to resend. Archiving was not affected, so you should be able to find the messages in the maillist archives. People receiving the lists in digest format were not affected, since the delivery problem was fixed before the digest delivery time. My apologies for the disruption!

PalmPython and Mac
by Erik van Blokland June 18, 1998

Is anyone working on a mac port of the palmpython stuff (for PalmPilot)? A link between PalmPilot and unix is available from http://www.io.com/~rob/cq/ A mac port would require rewriting some serial port code in C. I wondered whether someone already looked into this before I make my attempt.. erik van blokland LettError: www.letterror.com

Tk 8.0(?) w/ MacPython 1.5.1
by Anthony Wilson June 15, 1998

June 15, 1998

Just wondering if anyone is using the Tk module w/ MacPython 1.5.1 and what kind of success you have had. Also, did anyone ever find out about the menu problem that Tk was having that was mentioned before. i checked the list archive but nothing was shown as a solution. Another question would be is it a Tk problem, or MacPython problem. The major one that i have seen has been using the Pmw(http://www.dscpl.com.au/pmw/) widget set. When using Pmw on w/ MacPython the error i found was this " Menu ID 256 is already in use!Fatal Python Error: Tcl/Tk panic" This error appears in the CounterDialog.py demo. After selecting the show dialog button and then pressing ok to hear the bells. After doing this and trying to exit the dialog(either with the exit button or the close box) the above error appears. Any ideas anyone. TIA. -anthony +-------------------------------------------------+ --| Anthony L.
