    replied to Which PDF Reader
    PDF-XChange is far and way the best reader that I've ever used. Although I haven't tried their pay-for products, I suspect that they are also spectacular.

    I'm sorry that that package has moved out of the public domain.

    replied to python with gnuplot
    This seems to work well and doesn't require original source code mods:

    In your site-packages directory, create a file called "Numeric.py " (remember that python IS case sensitive). Two lines in that file should be all it takes to allow importers of the Numeric package to function properly:
    Code:
    from numpy import oldnumeric
    globals().update(oldnumeric.__dict__)
    To test this I used
    Code:
    import Numeric

  • Windows 7 SATA with XP IDE Dual Boot Multiple Disks

    There is a lot of confusion and attempts to resolve the Windows 7 (and Vista) multi-boot issue (some good, some not so good). I'll do my best to clear things up a bit.

    1) When you install Windows 7 on a second (SATA in my case) drive from the DVD while running XP (DON'T BOOT FROM THE DVD), the installation will automatically create the correct boot info on the drive that was active at the time of the installation, and WILL NOT put...

    replied to Enter morse, exit ascii value?
    Code:
    # Just as you would need to hear the pauses between letters being sent,
    # parsing morse will require some kind of separator.
    # I'm using two spaces between words here, but it could be anything

    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (and others, I suspect) on Windows 7:
    Volume controls and Mute button don't work... Running IntelliType Pro 7.1

    Set the Startup Type: to Automatic.

    replied to debugging a while loop
    Although this is homework and there are rules against that, you are so close that it would be a shame to tell you that you can't get help here... Just remember to increment whatever variable you are testing in the loop!

    Code:
    k = 1
    total=0
    while k <= 50:
    	total += k * k
    	k += 1
    Some may prefer this style
    Code:
    k = 0
    total=0
    while k <= 50:
    	k += 1
    	total += k * k

  • One answer: ActiveX will take care of all the performance, sound?, etc. issues.
    The wx.lib has all that you will need. Here is one of my early tests. the vb thing was a trial download:[CODE=python]#Boa:Frame:Fram e1

    import wx
    import wx.activex as ActiveX


    ## From OLE Object Viewer ##
    guidStr = "{DF6D6569-5B0C-11D3-9396-008029E9B3A6}"

    ## make wx compatible ##

  • OK. How familiar with wxPython are you?

    I ended up purchasing an ActiveX control from Russia for $60 US but I'm not really allowed to link to commercial sites here. You'll find many such goodies by Googling "ActiveX video capture". The one I chose is called ELVideoCapture. My favorite one was from Germany, but didn't seem to have much support, hadn't been updated in a while and was much more expensive. I'd stay way from XVideoOCX....

    replied to radio button problems :(
    A "dispatch dictionary" may come in handy here:[CODE=python]

    >>> def funct2():
    ... print 'b'
