############################################################################## # PyDemos.pyw # Programming Python, 2nd Edition (PP2E), 1999--2001 # # Launch major Python+Tk GUI examples from the book, in a # platform-neutral way. This file also serves as an index # to major program examples, though many book examples aren't # GUI-based, and so aren't listed here (e.g., see the Linux # gcc build scripts in the examples root directory for C # integration program pointers). Also see: # # - PyGadgets.py, a simpler script for starting programs in # non-demo mode that you wish to use on a regular basis # - PyGadgets_bar.pyw, which creates a button bar for starting # all PyGadgets programs on demand, not all at once # - Launcher.py for starting programs without environment # settings--finds Python, sets PYTHONPATH, etc. # - Launch_*.py for starting PyDemos and PyGadgets with # Launcher.py--run these for a quick look # - LaunchBrowser.py for running example web pages with an # automatically-located web browser # - README-PP2E.txt, for general examples information # # Internet-based demos live here: # http://starship.python.net/~lutz/PyInternetDemos.html # but this program tries to start a browser on the main web pages # automatically, either on the site above or on local page files. # Additional program comments were moved to file PyDemos.doc.txt ############################################################################## import sys, time, os, launchmodes from Tkinter import * #
