On OSX PB with MacPython your first alfa of MacPython 2.1a2:
EasyDialogs.test() crashes from both the python interpreter and the IDE.
On starting the IDE, I get the message:
XXX killed unknown (crashed?) Python window.
in the output window.
If I try to call Win.NewCWindow( ... )
the window briefly appears and disappears, with that same message
repeated again in the output window.
(If I do the same from Python interpreter, the window doesn't disappear)
There are a bunch of cosmetic glicthes in the IDE: text doesn't fit
in buttons, outline around default button doesn't quite match the
button, et.al.
But, I'm quite amazed that you got this far Jack -- great start!
( Are you using CW6 for this ? I haven't upgraded mine, but if it's
really working well under OSX I may do so. Does their debugger
work under OSX ? They don't support mach-o output yet, do they? )
I'm sure I'll poke around on it some more. I saw some instructions
a while back on one of the OSX lists on how to coerce gdb to work
for CFM apps. If I can find that and get it to work, I'll try to
get you some more useful info.
