       Hello
              I don't know if this is done in python. Let me explain. 

              I am a student at a college. It has a forum whose adminstator has agreed to my request, as a student, to give PM privileges to all students. Now, since all students get automatic status on the forum, virtue of their student number, the admin has told me this:

              
I have been following up on the Private Messaging permissions for all
students as I think it is a valuable function for students to use. It looks
as though we will have to manually give individual students permission to
send PMs to each other. With thousands of students registered as users on
the forums, this is not a small task. We will start with the top 200 or so
users who frequently use the forums and go on from there.

         ******

         Now, instead of this slogwork is there any script that could do it quickly? A python script? php?perl? I don't know what the technology behind the forum is. I could ask if that will help people here advise me. But for now I am trying to keep my question uncluttered and simple. It does seem to me to be a task that a lot of forums would be faced with. 

               Any help will be appreciated. If someone were to write a script I cannot pay you anything; but I could give you acknowledments on the forum. 

               Thank you 
               Andrew

You haven't really told us anything - what kind of forum software is
it? What kind of access do you have?

The simplest way would probably be to get access to the database, and
just execute a simple SQL statement to flip the switch for all
students. You could use python, but it would probably be overkill.

Seems a little odd that a forum doesn't have the ability to make mass
changes through its admin interface though.

Subject: [melbourne-pug] GUI libaries for Python
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1012071519390.32572@thor.pearwood.mine.nu>

Last night at the MPUG meeting I asked which GUI libaries people 
recomended.  There were two mentioned:  PyQt and TkInter.

I remembered the name of the one i had started to look at which was 
WxPython which appears to be quite nice,  from a non programers point of 
view.   The gui stuff I am investigating is for my thesis data gathering 
and as such is really only goign to be used within a Windows environment.

But where does WxPython stand compared to PyQt and TkInter with the MPUG 
members?  Is it an "actually thats good also"  or is it classed as 
"seriously dont do it to yourself" ?

Thoughts?

David Crisp

We've moved from Tkinter to PyQt. WxPython looks workable, but we chose PyQt
at the best for us at the time. Tkinter is usable but we found it to be
pretty nasty. But it works and it is everywhere...

Tkinter can be a little "nasty" but for quick jobs and those where
prettiness isn't needed it's perfectly acceptable. I did a whole
presentation about how Tkinter doesn't suck at Kiwi PyCon last year
:-) It's around on the tubes somewhere...

My experience with Tkinter and wxPython.

To mainly agree with Richard and Tennessee...
Tkinter is quick, easy and included, but only includes a very basic widget set.
It's a bit of work if you want to do anything complicated, and doesn't have the nicest look and feel.

wxPython is very complete with loads of widgets, and looks good, but a little more work to get up and running with.
There's also a pretty good GUI builder for wxPython (Glade).
I would choose wxPython over Tkinter if the GUI needs to look slick, or you want a complete widget set.

Haven't used PyQt.

Hey there everyone,

I'm going to ask RMIT to book us a room for the first Monday in
February, the 1st. Like this year I figure we'll just skip the Jan
meet because a bunch of people will be otherwise occupied anyway and
I'm not sure we can get an RMIT room in (early) Jan anyway.

Hi Richard,

Feb 7?

Cheers,

Indeed I cannot read my calendar. How about Jan 31st. I'll see what RMIT can do.

We've got a room at RMIT booked for the 31st. More details when I'm not on holidays :-)

Start thinking about things to talk about! :-)

I can give a short talk about Emscripten and using it to get Python 
working in the web browser.

See http://syntensity.com/static/python.html for the demo.  (Doesn't 
seem to work in IE - use firefox or a recent Chrome instead.)

(No, I did not write Emscripten - I just kept feeding in bug reports 
until Python worked.)

Cheers,

Rasjid.
