I see several on this list have their opinion and lean toward VB.
Not me, done that and vc++. Hate'em. Been developing 30 years
and I like control over what I'm doing and Python and Tkinter are
the best tools I've ever used. And for the most part IDE's like
BOA Constructor are just confusing.
I developed for my former employee a thin client whose primary purpose
was AS400 connectivity. This required a fairly complex interactive
gui configuration which I wrote in Python.
This system could also be configed by a remote manager. Wrote
that also in python using UDP sockets.

What experiences have those in the Python community had in these kinds
of situations?
Ive had lots of experience updating my resume and
developing software at home. In Python.
Java is a clumsy kludge. And the java environment has gone to hell.
Managers DO NOT listen to engineers.

What civil engineers need with all this programming is beyond me.
One of my best friends and expartner and top civil-structural
engineers in the country (he built Dallas Reunion Arena and many
other complex structures) was an ace programmer in many languages.
He was not willing to just

Thanks.
I did search that site but, wow, huge.
That page had no reference to congruence
and the pdf did not contain the pattern
congru.
But I'll have some better ideas how to search next
time.
thanx
I used \u2245 btw

So far, on RedHat Linux:
I have used your method successfully in a Label
and in Canvas Text. very slow.??
In A Text box I just get \N{INFINITY}.
But thanks, I will investigate Text Box more.

Never mind, works in a Text widget, my bad.
Why is it so slow? (RH Linux, 2.4.20, 1.6Ghz AMD)
3/4 second slower to display widget w/unicode,
even if I encode u'\u221e'
Works though, this is great.

These work fine on Linux
s.const = {}
s.const['DEG'] = '%c' % (0xb0)
s.const['DIV'] = '%c' % (0xf7)
s.const['ANG'] = '%c' % (0xd8)
On WinXP the symbols for division and angle work fine.
But the symbol for degrees, a little circle, produces
a vertical bar in

t.insert(0.0, u'%c' % 0xb0)
should do the trick though.
COOL! Thanks, though that seems a little odd.
As far as I know %c ignores the
to work around it by defining a sq_slice that does
nothing but unconditionally raise an exception. But the check
for sq_slice in assign_slice() makes me wonder if this is the
right thing to do. (Seems ok so far.)
Any hints would be appreciated
