Subject: [Pygui] Distributing a PyGUI application on Windows.
Message-ID: <BANLkTinCeg1OeZQ7_YN4W4R1vV3vbjNVXw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

I've written a simple application in PyGUI, and I'm wondering how best
to distribute this to Windows users who do not have Python, Pywin32,
or PyGUI installed. Normally, I would use cx_freeze to produce an
.exe, but it appears to be unable to load PyGUI. Thoughts? Options?

Thanks,

Devon

Try http://www.py2exe.org/
If that does not work, get back to us on this list.

I had issues as well.  I found that this setup.py works for me.  I also had
to import the PyGUI modules specially in my main script as follows:

from GUI.Buttons import Button
from GUI.RadioGroups import RadioGroup
from GUI.RadioButtons import RadioButton
from GUI.Labels import Label
from GUI.CheckBoxes import CheckBox
from GUI.Frames import Frame
from GUI.Applications import Application
from GUI.Menus import Menu
from GUI.MenuLists import MenuList
from GUI.Windows import Window
from GUI.Sliders import Slider
from GUI.Colors import rgb
from GUI.Resources import resource_path, find_resource
from GUI.FileDialogs import request_old_file
from GUI.Files import FileRef, FileType, DirRef

Here are the contents of my setup.py file:

# Build an executable for my_script.
#
import sys
import os

# Yet another *hack* to get py2exe to work.  It can't seem to find
# win32com.shell.

# ModuleFinder can't handle runtime changes to __path__, but win32com uses
them
try:
    # py2exe 0.6.4 introduced a replacement modulefinder.
    # This means we have to add package paths there, not to the built-in
    # one.  If this new modulefinder gets integrated into Python, then
    # we might be able to revert this some day.
    # if this doesn't work, try import modulefinder
    try:
        import py2exe.mf as modulefinder
    except ImportError:
        import modulefinder
    import win32com
    for p in win32com.__path__[1:]:
        modulefinder.AddPackagePath("win32com", p)
    for extra in ["win32com.shell"]: #,"win32com.mapi"
        __import__(extra)
        m = sys.modules[extra]
        for p in m.__path__[1:]:
            modulefinder.AddPackagePath(extra, p)
except ImportError:
    # no build path setup, no worries.
    pass

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL
def isSystemDLL(pathname):
        if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in ("msvcp71.dll",
"dwmapi.dll", "mfc71.dll"):
                return 0
        return origIsSystemDLL(pathname)
py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL = isSystemDLL

################################################################

    sys.argv.append("-q")

        self.__dict__.update(kw)
        # for the versioninfo resources
        self.version = "1.0.0"
        self.company_name = "My Company"
        self.copyright = "Copyright 2011 Me. All rights reserved."
        self.name = "My Script"


my_script = Target(
    # used for the versioninfo resource
    description = "A cool description",

    # what to build
    script = "my_script.py",
    dest_base = "my_script")


setup(
        options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1,
                   "optimize": 2,
                   "ascii": 1,

                   }},
        zipfile = None,
        windows = [my_script]
    )


I hope this helps.

Mark.

You should be able to use py2exe, but you will have to
explicitly tell it to include all of the modules from
PyGUI that it needs, since py2exe can't follow the dynamic
loading system that PyGUI currently uses. [1]

I'm not familiar with cx_freeze, but something similar
ought to be possible.

[1] Yes, I know this is a nuisance, and I'm thinking
about ways to improve the situation.

PyGUI doesn't actually need all of the sub-packages of PyObjC,
all it needs is 'pyobjc_core' and 'pyobjc_framework_Cocoa'.

PyPI doesn't make it easy, but you can get to the sub-packages
individually this way:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=pyobjc&submit=search

I didn't even attempt to use easy_install (I don't like setuptools
and will try to avoid touching it if at all possible). If I
remember correctly, I downloaded the .egg files, unzipped them and
manually moved their contents into site-packages.

I don't think you should need to have Xcode installed to do any
of this.

To the PyObjC developers, I would make the following requests:

1) Please DON'T require setuptools or easy-install. Make it available
either as a standard MacOSX installer package or an ordinary Python
package that can be installed using 'python setup.py install'.

2) Make the individual packages easily findable, downloadable
and installable separately for those that don't need the whole
thing.

Subject: [Pygui] Listbox? Scrollbars? Text Widget?
Message-ID: <BANLkTinBHPuJSu3=-=ZTPtTOTXa_e99Uwg@mail.gmail.com>

Although in comparison to tkinter, pygui is conceptually cleaner and
more maintainable, it still has some functional lacks, and I'm curious
as to where the following rank on the to-do list.

1. The listbox (a/o combobox), a scrollable stack of text items that
can be selected, singly or in multiples (e.g  with shift-click,
ctl-/cmd-click).

2. The textedit class appears to be quite basic in comparison to the
tk/tkinter text widget which has, e.g., multiple fonts, format tags,
marked locations, undo-redo stacks, search, support for embedded
graphics and widgets.

3. Menu-bar menus are supported, but what about contextual ('pop-up') menus?

4. Looking at the tkinter implementation of scrolling, it makes
horizontal and vertical scrollbars separate widgets with
semi-automatic callback between the scrolled item and the bar. The
advantage is the programmer can customize the bar; disadvantage:
complexity, platform inconsistency.

In PyGui scrollbars appear to be implicit and managed entirely by the
scrolled item (which is currently only the scrollable view, yes?) The
advantage is simplicity and consistent use of OS platform widgetry.
But -- what happens when other scrollable widgets are added, e.g. the
listbox? (Or, would every scrollable item be a child of scrollable
view...?)

Thanks for your efforts,

Dave Cortesi

These are on the list, no particular priority.

I hope to provide something richer at some point, but as
yet I have no clear idea of what the API should be like.
The facilities provided by the three platforms in this
area differ considerably.

A particular stumbling block is that the Windows rich
edit control only allows one view of each text buffer,
which doesn't fit well into PyGUI's model-view paradigm.
This is one of the limitations I'm hoping to be able
to escape by making use of .NET libraries.

I've deliberately tried to keep the API for scrolling
very abstract and high-level, because the details differ
quite a lot between platforms. On Windows, for example,
the most straightforward way to implement scrolling does
not result in the scroll bars being exposed as distinct
objects.

Not ScrollableView itself -- that's for user-defined views -- but
they will provide their own scroll bars and have a similar API.
(Probably I'll factor out the scrolling-related parts of
ScrollableView's interface into another abstract class.)
