Re: [PyQt] win32api.LoadKeyboardLayout; any solutions for OSX?
Thanks again. Macports didn't have the latest pyobjc, but pip updated my
installation to the fixed version. Problem solved.

I seem to have found a solution that worked using PyObjC.
I'm currently using Python 3.3 installed via macports, and I
installed the appropriate ports for my setup (py33-pyobjc,
py33-pyobjc-cocoa).
For my import statement:
from AppKit import NSTextInputContext
To find the current keyboard being used:
ic = NSTextInputContext.new()
current_keyboard = ic.selectedKeyboardInputSource()
To list the currently available keyboards:
keyboards = ic.keyboardInputSources()
To change the current keyboard (to 'Arabic', for example):
ic.setValue_forKey_('com.apple.keylayout.Arabic',
'selectedKeyboardInputSource')
Now, that is the good news! This all worked great in my source
code, but as an app bundle (created with cx_Freeze 4.3.2) it
wouldn't run at all. I'll include the full error trace at the end
of this email, but the problems seem to start with the import of
AppKit and end with objc/_lazyimport.py.
I'm not sure if this points to a 'bug' in objc or something else
which I've left out of my setup routine, but if anyone has any
ideas, I would be interested to hear from you.

Securing files
Hello Folks, In a python application that I'm developing I've been asked to add security to databases that the program might create and access; the database is to be password protected by its creator. The application uses an SQLite database, which could be changed for another back-end if that would offer better security, but I would still like to use an embeddable database file. The problem isn't so much the database itself, as I can think of a number of way to encrypt the data it contains, but some of the data is simply names of image and video files contained elsewhere in the file-system. Is there anyway to prevent a user from simply opening up the file-system from outside of the application and viewing the files? One way that I can think of would be to encode the image/video files as BLOBS and store them in the database itself, but apart from that option, can anyone suggest other ways? I'm currently working with python2.7 under Windows7, but I'm hoping to extend the application to Linux and Mac also. Thank you for your help. Best regards, Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python and lost files
Recently I purchased some software to recover some files which I had lost. (A python project, incidentally! Yes, I should have kept better backups!) They were nowhere to found in the file system, nor in the recycle bin, but this software was able to locate them and restore them. I was just wondering if there was a way using python to view and recover files from the hard drive which would otherwise remain lost forever?

bdist_wininst is for packaging python modules or packages and so
depends on Python itself being installed. As a result, it only
installs into where Python libs and modules are generally installed.
It sounds like you are looking for something to create a stand-alone
version of your program - in that case you are probably looking for
py2exe to create the application itself, and something like Inno or
NSYS to create an installer which allows the user to specify where
they want it installed and doesn't depend on Python already being
installed.
Cheers,
Mark
Your advice sounds like the direction I may have to go. It was just that
when I run the distutils installer, I'm presented with a setup dialog
which shows the install directory as /Python26 /site-packages/ in an
uneditable text field. I thought that there might be an easy way to make
that editable in order to change the path to a user defined directory,
although I might also want to drop a .pth file into the site-packages
directory so python knows where the application really is installed.
Thanks for your advice.
Best regards,
Tim
