[python-win32] My bzPersonalAssistant code/project

[Jacob Kruger]

If of interest, here are two separate download links - the one for the current source code, and the other, larger one for currently compiled windows executable etc. - bzPersonalAssistant.exe.

And, since this is sort of first time am really focusing on _trying_ to use wxPython frames, dialog's etc. a bit better/properly, I would also appreciate it if you can let me know if have messed up anything specific in terms of layout, general usage, etc. - BTW, blind biker in my email signature is a fact, and I can't look at GUI interface in the 'normal' way...<smile> - and, yes, there are still other pieces of using LBC module at times, etc., but, will eventually try clear those out as well, but, that's partly why want to find out if am doing much correctly in terms of how am trying to implement wxPython GUI building/rendition.

Anyway, here's the source code - total of652Kb, and starting point is bzPersonalAssistant.py :
http://www.blindza.co.za/bzPersonalAssistant/bzPersonalAssistantSource.zip

Otherwise, here's the windows executable version - total of 8.35Mb, and was built using cx_Freeze - executable there is bzPersonalAssistant.exe:
http://www.blindza.co.za/bzPersonalAssistant/bzPersonalAssistantExecutable.zip

Now, this is meant to be sort of what the name says - a smallish piece of personal assistant type of software, and currently offers you typing in, categorising and searching for text notes, lets you define categories for, and then record .wav audio clips/audio notes, using windows standard audio input source - and have already figured out how to do something like invoke lame encoder via command line to switch over to sort of ending up offering .MP3 output, but haven't bothered with that yet, since at least part of that might relate to path/location compatibility if I actually let people do much more than test this applet, but, let's see.

The other categories are a form of calendar, and categorised collections of web links, and contacts, and haven't finished off documentation of much as of yet, but, for example, since this is sort of targeting VI/blind users to a certain extent - wx is AFAIC the best GUI framework in terms of python generated acdcessibility - it can also tell you certain things using forms of TTS, and should notify you on the change of hour using small synthesized sound clips from the ./sounds directory as well, but anyway.

I'm making use of python 2.7, wxPython 3.0, and other non-standard python modules are things like accessible_output, a small audio recording class in there - thanks for that one - etc. etc., along with a couple of win32 specific modules at moment, but anyway.

Please let me know if you look at this at all, and what you think of end-result/output/code - know/am sure there are likely to still be some unresolved bugs/glitches in there - but am still busy playing around with this - and, yes, I generally use tab character for indentation - and have left it like that in source code for now.

TIA
