Hi,
I'm back again, still with a BuildApplication problem.
When I use BuildApplication to build an application that used tkinter
and ftplib, it works fine, but it brings up an output window when It
getes to the ftp routine. I did a test, and it seems to be related to
opening files, but I'm not totally surea about that.
When I drop the script on the interpreter, it works just fine, and there
is no output window, only when I use BuildApplication. Yes, I have used
EditPythonPrefs to set the preferences so a window should not open.
I sent the script to someone else (Russell Owen, thanks for your help
Russell), and he could Build an Application with the script and have it
run fine. He sent me the application he built, and I can't run it on my
machine. I get the error:
"Python preferences file appears corrupt: Python home folder incorrect.
Please
remove it and restart python"
I then tied to run an application build on may machine on aother
machine, and got the same error. It would run after that error, but it
still brought up the unwanted output window.
What is the deal here? I am getting very frustrated. I tried 1.6a2, but
ftplib appears to broken there, so that won't do it. I tried to enclosed
a
stuffed and binhex'd version of the application, but it was too big, and
got bounced by the listserve, so I enclosed the script I built
it from, if anyone else want to try it. It is a prototype for an
application that would let the user upload a file to an ftp site, along
with a formatted text file that contains information about the file that
the user inputs. All the fields must have something in them, and a file
must be selected in order to upload. I've hard coded it to upload to our
anonymous ftp site, so feel free to try it, but please use sparingly.
Note to Jack: If you are now focusing your efforts on 1.6, perhaps I
should try to figure out what is wrong with ftplib in 1.6, rather than
trying to figure out what is wrong with the 1.5 BuildApplication.
Also, at some point you suggested that I send you the contents of the
unwanted output window. There are no contents. I tried select all, and
copy and paste were still disabled. I assumed that this means that
there was nothing in the selection, even whitespace characters.
-Chris
