newbie's Q
by KAWASAKI April 25, 2000

April 25, 2000

hello,all I am a newbie to mac python. when I double click a module in whatever folder the interpreter says to me it can't find the module. for example. Double click $PYTHON:Lib:binhex.py --->PythonInterpreter:: can't open file 'binhex.py:' I can import the binhex.py from the interpreter command line. I suspect it is not a problem of path settings.( indeed $PYTHON:Lib: is in the path) I thought I had no trouble when I was using ver 1.4 Please tell me what's wrong. Thank you in advance.

Re: PythonCGISlave update

Hi, Thanks for a PythonCGIServer.py program. That is a program I wanted for a while. I added a little enhancement to the program. It now can send back data longer than 32 KB to WebStar server. It uses a <SEND_PARTIAL> mechanism to send back data to the WWW server. I have tested it with WebStar 4.0(demo version) and it should work with WebStar 3.x. An attached tar.gzipped file includes: PythonCGISlave.py # Original PythonCGISlave.py PythonCGISlave.rsrc PythonCGIServer.py # Modified version supporting <SEND_PARTIAL>. PythonCGIServer.rsrc WebStarClass.py # Defines a WebStar class to send partial data WebSTAR_Suite.py # These files are created by gensuitemodule program. W_2a_API_Suite.py Miscellaneous_Standards.py Usage of PythonCGIServer.py is same as it of PythonCGISlave.py. > > Here's a bugfix: I assigned to os.environ instead of modifying the dict in > place.

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] MacASCII to ISO-Latin conversion
by Jack Jansen March 31, 2000

If you can wait until 1.6a1, due in a month or so, your problem will be solved, as Python will speak Unicode and has all the converters available. If you can't wait you'll have to dig up a translation table somewhere. Once you have such a table ... Hmm, let me check [... pom pom ...] No, I thought I might have one lying around. Anyway, once you have such a table you make a string with 256 characters, where the N-th character is 'M' if chr(N) in your source-charset should be translated to 'M' in your destination set. You pass this as an argument to string.translate and there you are. -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen(a)oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.oratrix.nl/~jack | see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/spg-l/sigaction.htm

But there is also a strange behaviour of the installer (it hides files and put it on thew wrong places that Tkinter needs). Also strange is, that the Interpreter freezes by calling Tkinter interactively - but running the scripts by dropping the file over the interpreter is still working. I think I will make an How To during the weekend (if I find time between testing the wonderfull PythonCGISlave ;o) and if someone is willing to correct my awfull (d)english I will put it on my website.

Alright, here is unmountvolume which unmounts volumes by name. Note it's not called unmountservervolume as it appears to also unmount local volumes. The Finder seems to be bothered if you unmount the volume right after mounting it, but that might just be my system.

I've seen posts on the newsgroup stating that Tkinter on the Mac is broken. I've just started playing with it the past few days, and I'm seeing some odd behavior, particularly with the Python IDE locking up when trying to exit a Tkinter application. Is it really broken or are people just doing something wrong? -Matt --------- "Luck will often enough save a man, if his courage hold." -Buliwyf

Another approach that might work for you is to mount the drive by hand once, than create an alias to it, and then later use findertools.launch(pathtoyouraliasfile). Just
