Re: Pdesk for Linux

Hey all,

Thanks for the suggestions, but I agree with Jean-Baptiste (or I think
I do).  It seems overkill to install wine to run a windows version of
a python app.

I tried the SVN (from weeks ago, maybe months, that I had on disk)
because I couldn't get the SVN to work recently -- message from
sourceforge said that it had been turned off.

And I tried the source tarball from sourceforge, just to be thorough.
 The most recent zip file contains nothing but meta-files.  No source.
 So I went with the older version from sourceforge.

I'm not at home right now, but I remember that every time I tried to
run 'python pdesk.pyw' or whatever the appropriate command is, I got a
message about line 26 in pdesk.pyw not being able to include 'module
wx' or  wx-something-or-other.  Frustrating.

And yes, I did google trying to find a solution -- which involved
changing line 26 several times.  And I did install every package
available on synaptic that included wx in the name.  And I tried it
with all three versions of python available in synaptic.  So, really,
I put in the hours.

Not flying here.  Also downloading from source is a bit of overkill. 
Just the functional python scripts would be enough (assuming they
work).  If someone knows what is necessary, and the directory
structure required that would be great.  Just drop it into my local
~/bin directory and I'm set.  If someone knows what must be included,
I would be glad to make such a tarball.

I presume that there is no current development going on, that we're
looking at the last of the updates in SVN, and that there is no one
maintaining the sourceforge site.  Am I wrong?

Thanks for any advice.
