[PythonCE] Ideas for New User Please (geoff)

[javirosa at eden.rutgers.edu]

I'm new too. However, as far as I understand the console for CE was
removed in recent version. I haven't really worked with user input in
pythonCE but perhaps you can use a gui textinput as suggested in a
previous post.

Joshua, you could try easygui.  It's a GUI tool for getting user input
in non-GUI programs.  It uses Tkinter, but without all of the overhead
you'd normally have.  You just use a one-liner to get the input.

#easygui-example.py
from easygui import *
import sys

while 1:
    msgbox("Hello, world!")
    msg ="What is your favorite flavor?"
    title = "Ice Cream Survey"
    choices = ["Vanilla", "Chocolate", "Strawberry", "Rocky Road"]
    choice = choicebox(msg, title, choices)
    # note that we convert choice to string, in case
    # the user cancelled the choice, and we got None.
    msgbox("You chose: " + str(choice), "Survey Result")
    msg = "Do you want to continue?"
