I run a couple of Python programs that work fine on Ubuntu 10.04 but
don't behave quite so well on Ubuntu 12.04. I've made a couple of tweaks
that help, but I'd like to recompile them (or whatever the right concept
is with Python) so they work well on Ubuntu 12.04.
One of the programs is called Footpedal. It can be found at:
http://code.google.com/p/footpedal/downloads/detail?name=footpedal_0.4-0ubuntu1_all.deb
and some instructions for tweaking are at:
http://code.google.com/p/footpedal/issues/detail?id=4#c5
Those helped, but I'd like to make it cleaner.
Something seems to be missing from Gnome fallback that Footpedal uses.
When I run it on Ubuntu 10.04 a little foot icon appears on the top line
of the screen. When I right click on that icon I can change some
settings to suit the way I want the foot pedal to respond. That icon no
longer appears on the top line of the 12.04 screen, and I haven't found
a way to get at that configuration menu. I'd like to rewrite the program
so the I can get to the configuration menu.
The part more relevant to this mailing list is what GUI "environment"
(or whatever it's called) can I use for Python with Ubuntu 12.04? I'd
like to start with a graphic version of Hello World so I can understand
what widgets to use and how to place and control buttons, etc. I've
fiddled with the text mode version of Hello World and understand it --
well, at least enough of it to handle Hello World. I'd like to get the
same familiarity with a GUI program.
The other program is called Transcribe. It is a program that plays audio
files with some controls built in suitable for use by transcribers, such
as backing up x number of seconds when stopped. It runs okay mostly.
Sometimes I'll get a pop up window that tells me that it has crashed.
Maybe something crashed, but it wasn't the part of the program that I
use. I'm less concerned with finding out what's wrong with this one. But
once I get comfortable tweaking Footpedal I'll dig further into Transcribe.
TIA for any advice and/or links to tutorials.
