Hi folks :
I am a Linux device driver guy, I believe Python/Perl style language is going to be my future. So I am exploring Python Win32, now the first thing is Hello world, does anybody know how to create a Win32 Hello World with Python?

Since you're on Linux, wouldn't you rather write portable code using (say) Tkinter or wxPython?... Unless you want to get into the guts of MS bloat... I normally only use win32 if there's no other way (I write apps for windows).

Thank you for replying, actually I am not familiar to Tkinter neither, well I did run into some wxPython resources but Win32 is more popular, right? I am exploring this Python-Windows possibility, next thing is going to be directpython, that is my destination.

Mark Hammond has done a great service by providing python wrappers to the extensive (bloat, imho) windows win32 API. The COM modules are invaluable for interacting with other apps. There are lots of examples in the docs. That said, documentation of the API itself seems to be left to MS docs (have you ever tried to look up something in an MS manual?).
If you get Stani's Python Editor ( http://pythonide.stani.be/) as an example of what wxPython can do, I believe you will see that a minimalist approach to GUI toolkits is more than adequate (it's ideal, imho). There also "hello world" examples for wx (Windows, X (Mac too)) Python.
Tkinter documentation in python manuals is minimal. There's some on the web and a book or two have been published.

maybe som of us should sit down and do a Tkinter book ;-)

Hi, good idea, but I think there is a PyWin book already (written by the man himself) 
I don't think there are too many Tkinter book though (I recall one), but im not sure anybody is using the library..

Yikes! $169.67 New! Ouch. Probably worth it though, and Mr. Hammond certainly deservers to make some money for all the work he has done.

Hi,
I bought and read most of (excellent) Mark Hammond's book, Python
programming on Win32.
I started to make some sophisticated "hello world" app using win32ui (...)
but I need some more information to make the bridge between this book and
the MFC (black hole for me) in depth.
Any advise on good reading, and some python examples ?

Hi,
My first post here. I've found some serious accessibility flaws in the
Python 2.4 docs and wish they could be rectified over time. I'm very new to
Python and initially contacted docs at python org, However, I haven't gotten
a reply for a week or so, and figured out I could post here for a larger
audience, then.

Is it possible? Bestcrypt can supposedly be set up on linux, but it seems
to need changes to the kernel before it can be installed, and I have no
intention of going through whatever hell that would cause.
If I could create a large file that could be encrypted, and maybe add
files to it by appending them and putting in some kind of delimiter
between files, maybe a homemade version of truecrypt could be constructed.
Any idea what it...

At my work we are now in the process of switching from Borland Delphi to

we are planning to do all "new" developments in C#.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
