I have Python 2.3.4 running on my Axim X30 from the Built-in Storage. The

I must have installed it wrong. I followed the setup used for the
version 2.2 from mukworks, which copies the dlls and executable to the
windows directory and the pyd and setup.. files in python and the pyc
files in the python\lib. The short-cut is written for python and the
setup script in lib.

What are the correct install steps for version 2.3.4?

When you install PythonCE 2.3.4, it puts a shortcut in the same
directory as
the setup-registry.py script.  Just try clicking on that shortcut from
the
CE File Explorer.  That should be all you need to do to get it
installed.

Unpack the python23.zip into \Program Files\Python\lib.
Copy the .dll files to \Windows.
Click the Setup Registry shortcut.

I'm writing an application using tKinter as the GUI. It seems to work OK,
but after a while I keep getting the message 'No more winhandle slots'. It
seems to be appear immediately before dialogs appear on the screen.  I'm
careful to destroy the dialogs when I remove them from the screen - does
destroy() not release the Windows handle? I only see this with PythonCE, not
with Linux.

I don't know the answer to your question - but you may get more help
(but I might be wrong) - on the Pocket TCL mailing list. The problem is
*more* likely to be there than with the Python side.

Thanks. I'm not convinced that the message is being generated by Tkinter or
TCL. I think it is coming from deeper, possibly the operating system or the
wince.dll. Whatever the source, it is a spurious message, the program works
fine despite it. I just wish I could find some way to turn it off.

When might a 2.3 release be available and does 2.2 support Pocket PC

Shtoom (voip client) is the thought here...it requires 2.3.

Python 2.3 is available for PocketPC :

<< I think it is coming from deeper, possibly the operating system or the

It does not sound like a WinCE OS message.  WinCE does not have a
restriction on the number of windows other than available memory, nor would
it refer to HWNDs as "winhandle slots."  It sounds like either the PythonCE
Win GUI interface or Tkinter/TCL code.  My guess would be Tkinter/TCL is the
culprit, trying to keep track of what windows it has created but having a
fixed pool to track the handles and not erasing entries on a destroy().

Is there a close() command?  Perhaps code to clean up the winhandles is
there and being skipped by destroy()?

If you cannot find a fix, a possible workaround might hide your dialogs
instead of destroying them.  Then from the application level you can set a
hard limit on the total number of dialogs you'll have created at one time
rather than create/destroy in response to user activity.

Looks like you are right. The string 'No more winhandle map slots' is in the
file tk84.dll.

The error message is produced by the function wince_putwinhandles() in
tkWinCe.c which is called once by WinCERecreateChild() in tkWinWm.c. 

The corresponding wince_getWindowhandle() is present in tkWinCE.c and is
declared, BUT NEVER CALLED, in tkWinWm.c, so looks like I'm being stuffed by
a piece of legacy code that is no longer used.

Can anyone recommend a good, free cross-compiler so I can fix this? Or could
some kind soul please let me have a version of tk84.dll with the call to
wince_putwinhandles() commented out?

Usually, people compile CE stuff with eVC, you can d'load it at Microsoft's.
Other than that, 'failed' is not an appropriate error description to give help.

Sure, without knowing what and for what...

, wait till the client finishes  authenticating the user to the

following questions
1)Is there a way to do this in Python ?.
2) Where would I put such a start script and how do I  make sure t is
executed on start up ?.


Any suggestions or tips might be useful.

Thanks,

<< 1)Is there a way to do this in Python ?. >>

If it were desktop Python, you could approach it two ways.  You could use
the system method of the os module to launch your applications.  Or you
could use access to the Win32 API CreateProcess() from the Win32 wrappers.

Neither is available to PythonCE 2.34 that I have here.  I have seen where a
CreateProcess() module exists, but it was reported to only work with
PythonCE 2.2.  No, I don't know for sure where you could get either of
those.

<< 2) Where would I put such a start script and how do I  make sure t is
executed on start up ?. >>

Not sure what you mean here by "start up".  If you mean on a warm reset, it
would go into the \Windows\StartUp directory.  If you mean every time your
application is started, then you arrange it so they can only see the script
to launch the application and hide the pieces you don't want them to launch
manually.

I faced something similar where I needed to do some file clean up before
launching an application or the application would not run properly.  I
couldn't find a way to pull that off with PythonCE 2.34 and ended up doing
it in eVC++.  PythonCE really needs os.system() implemented or at least
access to CreateProcess() to be a Pocket PC scripting language.

*hoping now that someone chimes in to show where I'm wrong and just missed
something*

I have a version of win32process for Python 2.3.4. I don't know from where I got it, but I don't mind sharing it with whoever needs it. Also theRe is a module named osce which has an implementation of os.system (using  CreateProcess) made by Tlion which I also have. (maybe someone can put these up somewhere, for this is looked for from timesto time).

All the best,
Isr

Update.

For PythonCE 2.2+ you should be able to create startup scripts.

Look for the various pieces here:

PythonCE 2.2+ for Pocket PC ARM
http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PocketPCPython/Overview

win32process.pyd for PythonCE 2.2a ARM
(There are also binaries for PythonCE 2.2+ MIPs at this site)
http://pages.ccapcable.com/lac/PythonCE.html
http://pages.ccapcable.com/lac/files-a/

osce.py (encoded in the text message)
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonce/2002-October/000246.html

When you import osce you'll have access to a system() method that appears to
function.  Or, if you prefer more direct control, you can import
win32process yourself and call CreateProcess() directly.  Just make sure you
always use fully qualified path names; getcwd doesn't exist under PythonCE
(the problem appears to be that WinCE doesn't really have a current working
directory).  

I still haven't found a copy of win32process.pyd that works with version
2.3.4.  I'd still love to have that because there doesn't seem to be a
Tkinter port for PythonCE 2.2.  So at the moment, I have both installed.
Perhaps Isr will be able to provide link or copy of the win32process.pyd for
2.3.4.

Here they are.

All the best,
