Tom - I believe that I've fixed the problems you found. A few more comments are below. I'll attach an update in a separate email, because I don't want to push an attachment into the list. Please let me know how it works for you. - Dave > >> >Dave, > >I love python and the large community of 3rd >party developers >such as you creating really useful tools like "generateDS" is the >reason why.

I believe that I've fixed this, but can't really tell for sure. I don't really understand the subprocess module very well. So, I switched to a slightly different recipe. It still works on my Linux box. I do not have an MS Windows machine that has PyGTK installed. So, I can't test it there. Please let me know if this version works any better. >I have no problem doing a "Capture CL" and taking that output >and running generateDS.py straight from the command prompt.

You encouraged me to take the time to figure out how to add specific buttons to a dialog, and I wanted to learn that anyway. > >The tar.gz distribution archive uses symbolic >links, which is typically not a problem unless you are an unfortunate Windows >user.

I've sent you a distribution file in .zip format. I (just now) learned that when I use the Distutils tools to create a .zip file, it does not contain the symbolic links. I'll have to spend a bit more time to figure out how to get that to happen with the .tar.gz format. It's Friday afternoon here, but I'll pick it up again on Monday. Thanks again for the help and info. - Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ generateds-users mailing list generateds-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/generateds-users
