====== Bohdan Vlasyuk ====== Some info about me here. I'm 21. I live in [[http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=49.237633,28.474159&spn=0.144539,0.232773&t=k&hl=en|Ukraine, Vinnytsia]]. I graduate this fall. I love cycling and skiing. ====== Blog ====== I will blog here. ===== July ===== ==== 18 ==== It feels like the development is stalled on the GUI part. It just won't work out. :-( Hmm. I must focus on it. My [[python_rewrite_bohdan|documentation]] needs a good rewrite, too. A good job for a Monday evening, isn't it? --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/18 15:03// ==== 15 ==== Got a responce for my July [[#8]] mail to Dan Neri: Hi!! I just arrived back in the office from a family vacation to Arizona.. Thanks for you patience with waiting for my reply. If you would give me the following information, it would be easier for me to quote you a price for usage: Area of Distribution Number (estimate) of copies Advertising size and quantity Type of advertising: web, print, television, etc. Years of usage Thanks again for the inquiry and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best Regards, Dan Neri I wonder how much would that be. $10,000 maybe? :-) --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/15 11:08// ==== 11 ==== Taxes are **annoying as hell**. Truly. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/11 20:28// We need to have same directory structure for all cases: * Standalone install * Data is stored in Manatee_path (we obtain this from registry? or is it just os.cwd?) * No install (CD version or just zipped distribution) * same as above * Python-module install * Data is stored either in sys.prefix or in site-packages/Manatee/data That's a little something to think about. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/11 13:53// ==== 10 ==== Current situation with [[python_rewrite_bohdan#Manatee/Installer]]: * It is simple, but function-complete * Py2exe-based version (which requires [[http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php|InnoSetup]]) would [[http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/BetterCompression|boil down to about 4,5Mb]] * Python distutils-based version will be about 100k (more, if we want images) * We would be able to include data files (distribution contents) easily This is **good**. Perhaps, there could be a separate installer version for people who don't need the [[python_rewrite_bohdan#Manatee/ControlCenter]]. It won't include the wxWidgets part. I will take care to separate the code to make it easy. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/10 18:11// Py2Exe integrates well into Python distutils. It will be possible to make both work. I.e. we'll have a standalone package, and, possibly, a package for people who already have pyhton+wxpython (which will be **considerably** smaller). Py2Exe allows us to create installers with InnoSetup. This is very cool, too. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/10 16:29// Currently, [[python_rewrite_bohdan#Manatee/Installer]] requires preinstalled Python, and installs itself as an ordinary python module. This is simple enough and feature-rich enough. The problem, so far, is that I can not determine the path to the Python executable and Python scripts folder. So, I can not create desktop shortcuts/etc... --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/10 14:57// ==== 9 ==== [[http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/|Python Programming on Win32]], [[http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/chapter/ch20.html|Online chapter 20]] --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/09 11:41// ==== 8 ==== I'm contacting [[http://www.sportsshooter.com/members.html?id=3558|Dan Neri]] to get a permission to use some of his great [[http://www.cameraclik.com/underwater.htm|underwater photos of manatees]] if my program. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/08 20:56// After a //"prolonged silence"//, I'm back into the saddle. It appears, that a simpistic implementation of [[python_rewrite_bohdan#Manatee/Installer]] is so very easy thanks to [[http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.1/dist/dist.html|python distutils]]. {{winlibre_soc:manatee_installer-0.0.1-simple.png?100}} --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/08 20:32// ==== 4 ==== I feel I'm lacking communication with the team. //(Err, we aren't actually a team in the term of simultaneous coding, but still...)// I expected to get more help from others, and I actually could help others more. But, aside from [[collaboration]] page, it seems there isn't anything we've helped each other. I haven't had any feedback on my ideas yet. However, some of the thoughts from other proposals seem very very reasonable. I don't want to work on the py2exe part yet. It seems, there could be better solutions. Also, wxpython is just **too large**. There are very compact toolkits that just wrap around native dlls (WinAPI... :-( ), but they are not crossplatform, and I don't fancy the idea of learning WinAPI. There must exist some compromise. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/04 18:14// ==== 3 ==== http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/CreatingStandaloneExecutables elaborates on .exe creation. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/03 15:35// py2exe apparently has bugs. {{winlibre_soc:bodq_p2yexe_crash.png?100}} --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/03 14:13// Steps needed to set-up the programming environment: - [[http://python.org/download/|Install python]] - [[http://wxpython.org/download.php#binaries|Install wxPython]] - [[http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/|Install py2exe]] --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/03 14:02// ==== 1 ==== It appears that projects will remain duplicated. That's not too bad after all, we can afford some duplication, and it would actually be an interesting experiment. I will try to communicate my ideas about WinLibre architecture to other developers, this must ease the burden of the future merge. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/07/01 10:03// ===== June ===== ==== 30 ==== I've started the blog in this wiki -- I just like it better than prefer it to most other interfaces. The work on the project is starting. We are having problems with duplication of efforts, and I don't have a slightest idea about how would it resolve. So far, I'm up to looking at other proposals, and borrowing ideas there. Perhaps we must schedule an IRC meeting and discuss such things there. --- //[[bodq]] 2005/06/30 13:49//
