Since asking about IOSlaves in Python recently on this list, I've been trying to consolidate what I've picked up from the various documents and examples online.
I want to write a tutorial at some point but, in the meantime, I've packaged up a couple of examples which might be interesting to other people looking to do something similar: http://www.boddie.org.uk/david/Projects/Python/KDE/Software/ioslaves-2003-07-07.zip One of these should be interesting for most KDE users as it allows Konqueror's bookmarks to be presented in the manner of a filesystem; the other example is more platform specific and requires a support library and some example files. Writing these has raised a number of questions which are more suitable for kde-devel than for this list but, for simple IOSlaves, Python appears to be quite a useful implementation language. Some modifications to the configuration and build script I have used might be necessary on some systems, especially if Python exists as a shared library rather than as an archive (.so rather than .a). It might be useful to link against the shared library anyway because the resulting IOSlaves are very large otherwise. Jim: Feel free to include any of this in with the PyKDE examples if you think they'll be useful. Have fun, David _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
