[pygame] Very simple program fails. Why?

I'm just starting to learn pygame. I write what I think is just about the simplest program that should display a window and then quit. #--- import sys import time import pygame pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640,480)) pygame.display.se

[wxPython] How to allow events during long processing routine?

I'm running some code that takes a long time to finish. I would like the user to be able to do other things while it is running. It seems to me there is a function I can call to tell wxPython to process any pending messages or events. I would call this perhaps every 1000 times through my loo

Pythonwin: Red squiggley underline and syntax error

I copied and pasted some text into my Python code and then Pythowin put a red squiggley underline under the two tabs at the beginning of the line. What does that mean? I've tried various things including deleting the white space in front of the line and reinserting the tabs. I've also tried r

Newbie: SWIG or SIP?

I have a third-party DLL and it's associated .h file. The DLL was written in C. I have neither the associated .c files nor the .obj files for the DLL. Can I use SWIG or SIP to build something that will allow me to use the DLL with Python? And what is that something, an .obj file, another DLL

Re: WYSIWYG wxPython "IDE"....?

I've also tried Boa Constructor a couple of times and keep having problems using it. So I've got it stuck in the back of my mind for when it finally becomes ready for prime time. (One of the problems was that the tutorial didn't quite match the program.) I really like the concept. It's a lot

Re: Possibly OT: Controlling winamp with Python

The Python program won't decide whether a commercial is playing, I will. At that point, I will run my program which will press mute, wait 20 seconds, and then press mute again. Actually, I could leave the program running but minimized to the task bar. When I hear the advertisement, I just clic

Possibly OT: Controlling winamp with Python

I'm running Windows XP and I'm using winamp to listen to internet radio stations. Occasionally, an annoying commercial will come on. I would like to write a Python program that, when run, will, in essence, push on winamp's mute button. Then, after say 20 seconds, it will push the mute button

How to input one char at a time from stdin?

I'd like to get a character from stdin, perform some action, get another character, etc. If I just use stdin.read(1), it waits until I finish typing a whole line before I can get the first character. How do I deal with this? Brent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Newbie: Pythonwin

1) I'm running a program within Pythonwin. It's taking too long and I want to stop/kill it. What do I do (other than ctrl-alt-del)? 2) I'm running a long program and I want to minimize it to let it continue to run in the background while I do something else in the foreground. I try clickin
