[python-win32] My bzPersonalAssistant code/project

[Jacob Kruger]

Ok, next update - took sound_lib out of modules/use, and switched over to only using the code in recClass.py to handle both playback and recording of sound, and can now compile code on my dev machine, using cx_Freeze, into an executable that seems to handle pretty much alright on the VMWare windows XP 32 bit machine - except it doesn't want to handle actual sound recording, but, think that could be due to the sort of virtual sound card hardware, so will need to try test this on another machine that's relatively clean/free of all development tools, etc., but anyway.

Anyway, if interested, here's the new/current version of source code - and, external/additional modules am making use of/implementing, aside from any included in this folder, are accessible_output, and wxPython 3.0 - don't think there are too many other, additional/external modules being made use of, but could have forgotten something - 656Kb:

Only other issue there would be that it's going to look for user account app data folder, which would under windows7 fall under something like:
c:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Roaming\bzPersonalAssistant\bzPersonalAssistant

or, under windows XP, that would be more like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<userName>\Application Data\bzPersonalAssistant\bzP
ersonalAssistant>

And, under that directory, it will look for the audioNotes folder, as well as storing bzPersonal.data - using pickle to store lists/dictionaries of data therein -, etc., as well as possibly sounds directory, since am at time switching operational path over to there.

Here's the compiled/generated output that seems to work best/most reliably using cx_Freeze - py2exe doesn't want to work/launch .exe, and pyInstaller also seems 'unhappy' - 22.2Mb:

And, here's an install package that also creates user account app data directory structure, and renders icons under start menu group - this was done using innoSetup - 16.9Mb:

Either way, it seems to work/operate for now - just a quick test, except for throwing an error when I try to actually invoke sound recording, but, like said, that could be due to VMWare hardware imitation, or not...<smile>
