Python and USB
I'm new to Python and would like to capture mouse movements. I envision writing a script that will just write out the mouse movements in the term. Is this possible? Can someone point me in the right direction? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Capture mouse movements in your application, or globally? All GUI frameworks that I know of (including the one that comes with Python, Tkinter, a wrapper around Tk and Tcl) provide some sort of notifications when the mouse is over your program window. If you need to track the mouse everywhere (not only inside your app), that depends on the OS and desktop you're using. On Windows I think there's a library named pyhook or similar. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I've never done this before, but it sounds cool. You would need to create some kind of python file object to do this properly. So instead of actually clicking a folder, you would click a pickled file or something. I found some cool info about encrypting files here: http://www.methods.co.nz/python/ There's also a python cryptography kit: http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/pycrypt/ Finally, I found a fellow python programmer that wrote his own: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-April/378510.html There's also PortablePython...

That would depend on what desktop / Operating System you're using. If it's Windows, you need a shell extension (which is non-trivial to understand and write). If it's one of the Linux desktops, someone else had better chip in! TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This is available for **Movable Python** for Python 2.2.3, 2.3.5, 2.4.3 and 2.5rc2 from : `The Movable Python Groups Page http://voidspace.tradebit.com/groups.php`_ What is Movable Python == Movable Python is a portable distribution of Python for windows, designed to be run off a USB stick or computers that don't have Python installed. It features an IDE (Pythonwin and IDLE are included - but you can also use SPE), and a GUI launcher. It can be configured to use multiple interpreters from a single interface, including acting as a GUI for any executable. It has a host of other features (like logging all output from files, enabling psyco for all scripts, etc). See the following link for a list of all the new features in Movable Python 2.0.0 : http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_07_15.shtml#e390 For an overview of the most important features (with screenshots) see : http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_07_22.shtml#e396 Other uses for Movable Python include testing programs with different versions of Python, and providing clean install 'sandboxes' for testing programs. It is also an ideal launcher for IronPython. -- Shane Geiger IT Director National Council on Economic Education [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 402-438-8958 | http://www.ncee.net Leading the Campaign for Economic and Financial Literacy begin:vcard fn:Shane Geiger n:Geiger;Shane org:National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) adr:Suite 215;;201 N. 8th Street;Lincoln;NE;68508;United States email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:IT Director tel;work:402-438-8958 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.ncee.net version:2.1 end:vcard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I suspect he wants to do this just for the kicks. Just for completion, Truecrypt does precisely what you need. It has to be installed, but you could carry the installer unencrypted in the same USB drive.
