[Pythonmac-SIG] two questions.....

[Steve Spicklemire]

Thanks for the help with sending keystrokes. Now I have two more problems. ;-)

1) Performance. My solution works.... very slowly. I have a MacPython frozen
application that uses ctb to monitor the serial port for incoming codes from
an IR remote control decoder I built. When it gets a code it converts it to
a 'key press' and sends it as an AppleEvent to AkuaSweets_InterfaceSweet. If you
have ideas about this... code is posted below.

2) Performance. Well.. this is more about my attempt to sort out (1). 
I thought about building a module that doesn't use AppleEvents at all.
(I'm not sure that AppleEvents are the problem... but I need to get this
working of other reasons anyway...) I went out this morning and got the
latest stuff from CVS (Python and MacPython). When I try to build PythonCore.prj

I'm getting (CW5):

Link Error   : export symbol '_PyImport_LoadDynamicModule' is undefined

Link Error   : export symbol '__reopen' is undefined

Link Error   : CFM68K_Startup.c: '__reopen' is undefined or is not an exportable object.

Link Error   : import.c: '_PyImport_DynLoadFiletab' referenced from '_PyImport_DynLoadFiletab' [DataPointer] is undefined.

What version of GUSI are folks using with these projects?

thanks!

P.S. For those still reading here are the relevant snippets of code:

....

class AkuaInterface(Akua_Interface_Sweets, Required_Suite.Required_Suite, \
				Standard_Suite.Standard_Suite, aetools.TalkTo):
	"""A class that can talk to Akua"""
	pass
	
....

class macIR_App(FrameWork.Application):

	"Application class for macIR.py"
	
....
				
	def idle(self, event):
		"Idle routine - process serial events.."
		self.main_dialog.process()
		
class MyDialog(FrameWork.DialogWindow):
	"Main dialog window for macIR"
	
	def __init__(self, parent):
		FrameWork.DialogWindow.__init__(self, parent)
		self.ctbTool = ctb.CMNew('Serial Tool', None)
		self.opened = 0
		self.openSerial()
		self.talker = AkuaInterface(SIGNATURE)
		self.currentKeys = ''
		
....

	def process(self):
		""" we have time... process events..."""
		self.ctbTool.Idle()
		d, dummy = self.ctbTool.Read(1000, ctb.cmData, 1)
		if d: # then process the code d.... and send it to self.talker
....

main()


anyway.... there is a significant delay after hitting the remote and getting a
keydown in the frontmost app. I'm wondering if there is any better way to get
'hit' with idle events. Any thoughts are appreciated.
