Yomgui

Yesterday, I've finished my lower layer for one of my project on MorphOS: creating a Python module to wrap MUI. Many of GUI Toolkits on others platforms supported by Python have already wrapped into module, so why not MUI?

In its first shape, this wrapper will be split into 2 layers:

1. The lower layer: it's a C module, that interface the Python side with MUI objects and the BOOPSI api. It's raw, simple and permit to handle any kind of MUI objects (builtins or not, created by this wrapper or not).
2. The upper layer: it's a pure Python module using the lower C module. This layer declares MUI MCC as classes. This permits to fix and get control on attributes/methods allowed by MCC. It's a Pythonization of MUI.

Creating a MUI object can be done by using the OOO paradigm of Python or the simple function based paradigm:

Functional example:

from mui import *

# Creating a new main window with a simple text gadget
win = Window(RootObject=Text(Content='Hellow world!'))

# Now creating the application
app = Application(
 Version     = "$VER: PyMUITest 0.1 (06.06.07)",
 Copyright   = "(C)2007, Yomgui",
 Author      = "Yomgui",
 Description = "PyMUI test",
 Base        = "PYMUITEST")
# ... and link your window to it
app.AddWindow(win)

win.Open = True # it's like a classical MUI attribute access

# Run !
app.mainloop()

Let me finish the upper layer now

Ca y est le module thread est enfin supporté... enfin presque. Certain modules ne fonctionnent plus eux en multithreading, comme les socket. C'est pas ma faute C'est la bsdsocket.library qui est per-thread. Or les threads Python se doivent partager leurs FileDescriptors.... pas bon. Pour me rassurer je ne suis pas tout seul dans ce cas, la PowerSDL posséde le même problème.

Mais une bonne nouvelle je travail sur une solution pour résoudre tout cela.

Maintenant à propos de la release 7a: j'ai voulu re-utiliser les fonctions comme open/write/printf/... de la libc fournie avec le SDK MorphOS. Le problème c'est que ce n'est pas utilisable avec mon système de module Python dynamiques. Résultat des modules comme PIL ne fonctionnent plus (Thanks to Christoph Poelzl to have seen this issue)

Bon pas grave je vais remettre mon ancien système... sauf que cela va demander plus de taf pour implémenter des choses comme select().

Si vous voulez quand même tester les threads je vous propose d'aller voir sur ce post pour la release 7a (et qq modules comme pygame aussi).

Dure dure la vie de programmeur

Welcome to my first blog...

My old web site (yellowblue.nerim.net) is not longer available so I will put everything here now.

• Development: Python, Blender3D, ...
• Test: Pegasos motherboard installation inside a Aria box.
• My fabulous life

That's perfect transition to talk about me:

I'm a French boy of 28 years old (not on the picture :-D), living near from Cannes. I'm engineer since 2002 and working as System Integrator for a famous big industrial in the wireless market. My hobbies are developing for my favorite OS, the well named MorphOS, on a hardware named Pegasos.

I let you visit this link for more information about these products.

Long life to my blog
