I've just recently put myself through the pain of a full backup of my laptop followed by a complete re-format and fresh install of Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) Linux 2007. When I came to re-install wxPython and PythonCard, I used my own PythonCard RPM. However, looking at the available software on the Mandriva CDs just now, I was surprised to see the following: python-card-0.8.1-3mdv2007.0 Name : python-card Version : 0.8.1 Release : 3mdv2007.0 Group : Development/Python Description : PythonCard is a GUI construction kit for building cross-platform desktop applications on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, using the Python language. So, first of all, it looks like Mandriva now includes PythonCard as part of the main distribution, which is good news. I decided to take a look at how they'd built the RPM to see how it compared with mine, and I spotted the follwing comment in the official Mandriva spec file: "* Tue Jun 7 2005 Frederic Lepied <[email protected]> 0.8.1-1mdk - initial build (based on Phil Edwards' work)" It's nice to know that at least some of the work that I've done is benefiting others, and hopefully this will help bring PythonCard to a wider audience. -- Regards Phil Edwards Brighton, UK ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
