Hi antiloquax !
Thanks for this puplet !

Seeking to run an application requiring wxPython, please would you indicate a wx-gtk archive which runs on this puplet? Or how to install it?

By the way, the application is a project management Gantt scheduler, download here (less than 400KB sized !) which looks more efficient than Gnome-Planner (...imho, having tested both...).

(Getting a working Python+wxPython environment is my major difficulty to achieve this application running).
It worked on puppies4.X using the forum member Big Bass pets documented here (python +deps + wxgtk)

Thanks for any advice
Cheers, Charlie

Hi antiloquax,

You said you created RacyPy for a training coarse. Is this training based on commandline (as in the screenshot's you gave) or also set up to use an IDE ? Are you using Geany ? Or something else.

The training coarse material, is that classified (as if " I need to make money from it"), or can you place a link ? I am new to python, but have some background in other languages (assembly, (free)basic, BACON).

@charlie. I don't know anything about wx-gtk or wx-Python. I'll see if I can get it working.

@volhut. My blog posts on python are at
http://teampython.wordpress.com/
And:
http://raspberrypy.tumblr.com/
Also there are some great learning materials in the archive mentioned here:

I use Vim and Geany as IDEs. But most of my screenshots are from idle, because they look nicer.

New .pet added for Joe's Own Editor (as used by Eben Upton in his Webinar).
(Link also added to first post).
@Charlie. I have tried to get wxPython working (partly because I fancy having a go with DrPython - an ide that uses wxWidgets & wxPython).
So far, I haven't managed. I'll keep you posted.

hey guys, im just trying to load racypy onto my pc using a boot from disk, ive burnt the iso and stuff but when i boot i keep getting a boot failed message with disk error 80, any ideas on what im doing wrong?

[antiloquax]

Hi Chappers,
I wonder if it's a bad disk?

What software did you use to burn the .iso? Just in case it is that, you could try burning it again (I'd recommend using the slowest possible burning speed!)

[chappers]

ive tried burning it at a lower speed but i still keep getting the same error, i wonder if the program im using for burning the disk is bad, im using active iso burner.

[antiloquax]

I'm sorry to hear that this isn't working.
In Windows I usually use DVDDecrypter to burn ,iso images. It's a good burner.

Maybe you ought to download the iso again.

[chappers]

i finally got it to work, thanks for the advcice!

I have made a version of Wary because it works better in Vbox.

I am trying to install my older printer using the full version of hplip-3.12.6 , downloaded from HP's Linux Open Source Printing repository - because I know this library has my driver in it, my printer was listed when installed on my other Slacko Puppy distro and the printer is working in my Slacko..but I'm trying to setup Racy 5.3 to leverage more available RAM since my laptop has 4 Gb.

Hplilp installation scripts are written in Python, so I try to install Python 2.6 then during "sh hplilip-3.12.6.run" I get a segmentation fault when executed as root, and permission denied when executed as user. I did chmod a+x, still not working, so I'm curious if there's something going on with Python?

Any ideas? Thank you!!!

I've uploaded a new version of RacyPy.

The main changes are the addition of:

mupdf-1.1
mit_scheme
scala

The desktop is managed by Rox and Openbox.
Python version 3.1.5 (the update for 3.1.4).
