I am creating distribution for the windows platform. I want to get user's path option and put all my python file(modules and packages) in to the same path at the installation run time. Can any one help me in that?? Thanks in advance Regards V.Selvam -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm planning to use the graphics module created by Zelle in a short programming unit in my IT class. I'm running Python 2.2.2 on Windows XP. Using IDLE, I have no problem creating 'graphics' windows and I can do lots of fun stuff in them. However, when I close any graphics window by clicking the close box everything terminates (IDLE and any other graphics windows that may have been open).

When I have some time, I need to really sort through the issues here rather than applying band-aids. In any case, I think there is a simple fix for your situation. Take a look in the graphics.py file and locate the GraphWin class (it's the first one). The close method looks like this: def close(self): """Close the window""" self.master.destroy() self.quit() _root.update() Simply comment out the second line, "self.quit()", (i.e. put a pound sign in front of it). I think this will fix your problem. Please give it a try and let me know if it works; I don't have a setup for testing your version here. --John Brian Taylor wrote: > Can anyone help me with this? > > I'm planning to use the graphics module created by Zelle in a short > programming unit in my IT class.

Groovy is designed to help you get things done on the Java platform in a quicker, more concise and fun way - bringing the power of Python and Ruby inside the Java platform. Groovy can be used as an alternative compiler to javac to generate standard Java bytecode to be used by any Java project or it can be used dynamically as an alternative language such as for writing scripts or unit test cases.
