Re: [PythonCE] Python 2.5 for Windows CE / ARM
You should either use the CAB install option (ie download the cab file and place it on your mobile) or run the install.exe from you desktop when you are linked to your mobile via ActiveSync. Make sure that you get the additional files that are missing, ie the Tkinter files as well as the MySQLite files and place them within the appropriate directory on your mobile. The instructions are there in the download. Or you can refer to prior message threads on this site.

Re: [PythonCE] grid manager
Here is another thread that talks about the joys of getting the grid manager to play nice. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-July/155857.html Using The Grid Manager Bandung wrote: > > The following code snippet shows what I use in order to place a frame at > the top rather than the centre of my screen. > > --Frame --- > self.frame1=Frame(Parent) > # self.frame1.configure(width= 235,height= 150) > self.frame1.grid(row=0,column=0, sticky=W) > # self.frame1.place(x=0) > # self.frame1.configure(bg="green") > > self.frame3=Frame(Parent) > # self.frame3.configure(width= 235, ) > self.frame3.grid(row=1,column=0, sticky=W) > > self.frame4=Frame(Parent) > # self.frame3.configure(width= 235, ) > self.frame4.grid(row=2,column=0, sticky=W) > > You will note that frame1 has been positioned using the grid.

Re: [PythonCE] Programming on Pocket PC's, use Python?
If you want to play around with the PPC before buying one, try using the following emulator. It can be run from a usb key. In that way, you can take your virtual ppc "anywhere with you". http://www.furrygoat.com/2005/09/portable_ce_20.html Portable Win CE This pocket pc on an usb stick will run all of the currently embedded apps that ship with WIndows mobile 5.0 as an example. Plus you can add software such as pythonce and run it. FOr whatever reason, I could not get wxPython to play in this environment so I have scrubbed playing with it. IT is not all that stable and from my experience there seems to be no guarabntee that an app which runs within the emulator, will run on the hardware device (or vice versa) You will be able to see how things work. The speed of the emulator is not that great so you may not be able to accurately access if certain software packages will run fast enough for you. Anyways, its a good place to start playing with windows mobile apps before investing any money. I initially liked working with the emulator because I could run pocket pc software with a screen resolution of 640 x 480 rather than that dinky 320 x 240. But the inability to get a software configuration that works on the hardware device, to run on the emulator, has caused me to dump it. If you want a better understanding of the differences between pythonce and python, visit the web site. http://pythonce.sourceforge.net/Wikka/HomePage pythonce In general, most features work. There are some nifty debugging capabilities that I wished worked and a number of os and sys functions that aren't there in the pocket pc version but overall, its a pretty good emulation. The biggest problem is with building a GUI that is portable between your desktop and the pocket pc. The simplest GUI for me is TKinter but the widgets are very limited. I added TkTable which helps a bit. Plus I have used BWidgets. The latter works great on the desktop but one widget, the combo box blows up on the ppc.

Re: [PythonCE] grid manager
The following code snippet shows what I use in order to place a frame at the top rather than the centre of my screen. --Frame --- self.frame1=Frame(Parent) # self.frame1.configure(width= 235,height= 150) self.frame1.grid(row=0,column=0, sticky=W) # self.frame1.place(x=0) # self.frame1.configure(bg="green") self.frame3=Frame(Parent) # self.frame3.configure(width= 235, ) self.frame3.grid(row=1,column=0, sticky=W) self.frame4=Frame(Parent) # self.frame3.configure(width= 235, ) self.frame4.grid(row=2,column=0, sticky=W) You will note that frame1 has been positioned using the grid. I set its position at row = 0, col = 0. And by using the parameter "sticky = W", it has been left justified. I could have used sticky= NW but instead, I chose to use the another command to force the frame to always be in the top left corner. That is the "place" command. frame.place(x=0) forces everything into the top left hand corner. Hope this helps. dave_welch wrote: > > When using the grid manager is there any way to set the start of the > grid.
