Thanks, I've been playing with this. Looking at growl had me stumble across Snarl, which is similar in concept, more oriented to Win32 and not GNTP-targeted.
Both of these look great onscreen and get just what I want, but they're both user-centric (no lockdown or admin control so messages appear the way I need them), and each has an additional perl module as well, although some less-robust command line options are available as well....

Looking for win32 notification options
Hi all,
I'm new here on the perl side (spent some time playing with python awhile back).
I started using perl as an administrative tool just a couple months ago on my work LAN because I'm using some open source packages (WPKG and Unattended) that are both written in perl, and I need to make some basic alterations. In the meantime I've discovered tons of piecemeal tasks that are so much easier than trying to wrangle... -
Assessing the Environment: Starting a New (solo) IT Job
I looked for a better place to put this - hopefully it will still get some traffic here. :)
I need a questionnaire, or an assessment template of sorts. I know, "it must be out there somewhere" -- I've been googling all sorts of stuff that fits _part_ of what I need. I'm looking for something comprehensive in its topics,but not mind-numbingly detailed in each area.
I'm starting a new position; it's a systems... -
Thanks. I'm getting all this, I've just been distracted....Leave a comment:

I'm already finding deficiencies in both of these 'compiler' tools.
One app that I'm intimately familiar with is a budget calculator I've rewritten a few times as I've tried new languages. (Remember when I was hunting for print functionality?)
The version I settled on "for now" uses reportlab to preview a PDF, which is then a one-button print if desired. Neither of these tools (py2exe or PyInstaller) will...Leave a comment:

Need a quick rundown on pyGTK
After seeing a few references, I checked out the web page for pyGTK, but it seems to be written for someone who knows what it does. I did find a print interface that seems a little more intuitive than the wxPython printout library, so it seems intriguing.
Can someone sum up what the package addresses overall? I'm on Windows, in case it's for some other platform -- I couldn't tell.
Thanks! -
I created another walkthrough for PyInstaller if anyone would rather try that.Leave a comment:

Simple guide to using PyInstaller
This is a simple walkthrough to get PyInstaller up and running.
I decided to give PI a try, because it claims to be more selective about what it bundles into its executable files by default, and it also integrates UPX (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables) into the build process, if you have it installed. It also claims functionality on linux, as a bonus (I didn't test this). I highly recommend the UPX options, and will cover how to get... -
Eventually. I'm a nomad right now with all my stuff in storage, including my PocketPC. But I might like to try my hand at a geocaching/GPS waypoint management system, with both a PC and PPC functional element....Leave a comment:

Who's working on mobile devices?
I keep hearing about Python on mobiles, but I haven't stumbled across any packages. What platform are you programming for, what package do you use, and how do you get started? -
Okie Dokie.
Let's start with my output. We start with a randomly generated bingo card. Then we're given the number of balls pulled from the machine, and their order, followed by BINGO!!!, and the final winning card with matched numbers blacked out for the visual effect. This allows us to validate the program operation against the initial random values chosen.
...Code:B I N G O 8 26 36 48 75 2 22 38

BINGO!!!
I've got a working model.
Don't know if I should post the code, it's a little over 200 lines. Could probably be more elegant, but the logic's good, and objects abound!
Thanks guys. Give me the go-ahead if I should put it up here; if it's too much, no problem. Is there a separate area for uploads etc.?Leave a comment:

OK, I got the function (method?) local thing.
I was concerned that, because I was using rowlist in a loop, to populate the card, that I didn't want any crosslinks between items on different rows, so I forced a copy [:] in the append. I see that wasn't necessary after trying it, but I err on the side of caution since all those rules for mutables aren't yet second-nature for me....Leave a comment:

Early results:
Here's BingoCard() that consists of 25 Square() objects. The instances are named individually (thanks Barton!) and also stored in a compound list, and able to be referenced directly (item[x][y]).
I chose to skip the listcomp for now to simplify my own comprehension (ptp). However, I've seen evidence that the listcomp is actually more efficient, and I will make the conversion after all of my logic is...Leave a comment:

I know you prefer setters and getters. (You'll be proud of me in my results post, in a minute). I get that it could be dicey if you write to vars from the outside, based on our earlier discussion. I'm not as clear on why it's a bad practice to "read", or return results from, internal vars, however. Is it just a purity thing?...Leave a comment:

Skip that -- I found it:
...Code:self.name=name # passed in when instantiated

I'm still having my original dilemma on these results.
I see how the listcomp generates the strings, but how do I make each string result become the name of a variable that I use to instantiate my object, all "hands off"?
(I'm working on this part right now...)...Leave a comment:

OK, getting a really basic start here. I apologize if any of this repeats -- until it clicks, I'm having some issues retaining a few things.
Based on Barton's tutorial on variables in classes, I just received an unexpected result. Here's a sample:
