I have recompiled everything from source this time





in fact I by passed all mis-haps with PPM and built all the latest packages as *tgz's the same format slackware uses
from there you shouldn't have problems I have not tested any of the packages on 430+ but if you want them they are already built here
keep me posted if you need something else

--------------------------older work below----------------------------------


all 3 are needed
http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/libdb-4.4.pet
http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/T ... py-8.4.pet
http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/python-2.5.2.pet


thats a special tlc tk I had to patch to make python work

I got tied of not having current slackware 12 compatible python while building pets
so many nice apps need python it's 15.2MB as a pet

I removed nothing from it its the whole enchilada( green light for dependencies)
enjoy... build something compile against it or program in python

*be aware it takes pet get about 5 minutes to install on my P4
so it may take awhile don't be worried let it do its thing

a new thread about python
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35180

I tested my above pet on 3.01 4.00 and 4.1

big_bass

Now working in 4.1.1 too
Many thanks
Once the above is set up, you can create python code in Geany (yeah!)
and press f5 to run - still useful to have IDLE though

Yesterday I played with EasyGui
http://easygui.sourceforge.net/
I could not find a directory to put the easygui.py file in as suggested
and just ended up running the easygui.py

Anyone have any experience of pyrex and compilers?

Next I want to look at calling C from Python
(Script for donkey work - compiled python or C code for speed)

Thanks!!!

You might want to play with this one, too (teacher's publishing suite):

@big bass:
Are there any pets with python based apps for puppy.
may be it's possible to have a pet for childsplay or any python based music player ?

thank you for this package

It didn't work so well for me. I went to try and compile something from source code (it was written in python), it wouldn't compile. I guess I need to know how to compile wxpython. Any thoughts?

I had a quick look at it, To build wxpython you need to have python installed first and then if you need OpenGL or Mesa3D installed already if the application is going to use wxpython+OpenGL..
then you download the wxpython source and compile it.
directions can be located http://wxpython.org/download.php
hope that helps:), If I had more time I would do it for you. But my week days are taken due to long work/travel hours and my weekends fly by quickly with the wife and kids.

I built the GUI wxPython for ya .I tested on puppy 4.1 *not all the demos worked but many did

you need all three pets the demos are an optional
install in order so you get the green light for depends

This SDL I borrowed from wolf_pup *thanks
1.) http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/bugs/sdl-1.2.9.pet


the list below I packaged
2.)http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/l ... 060924.pet

3.)http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/w ... .8.7.1.pet

-----------------------------------demos---------------------------
not required these are demos but great to have to test with

Thanks big bass this will help out for a lot of new software:)

slapstick made a .pet of GCompris for Edupup using a tgz from slackware - it is python based and similar to childsplay but seems to have a lot more educational games (his version required gstreamer as well but I am trying to patch 8.3.7 to current to avoid adding all of the gstreamer stuff)
GCompris-8.4.2.pet
suggests tuxpaint, gnuchess and gnuchess (they get integrated)

see this thread
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 29&t=23747

Hello,
Compiled Childsplay on Develpup Yesterday, works well, but needs a lot of dep. (SDL ect)
so I didnt .Pet it yet...
Will try GCompriz next..
(When things become D/L able again)

@Ttuuxxx, how do you include dep.in a .Pet when you make it??
Or do you just have to .Pet them up seperately???
Childsplay needed Pygame, SDL ,SDLimage , SDLsmpeg, ect..
I kept all the directorys to .Pet up later....
But Id love to incorperate them in a single .Pet
What if I merge all the install directorys, and make a single .Pet..
Or .Pet them first, open the .Pets and merge the directorys,
Then make one .Pet from them???
Dep`s dont require a .desktop file or a menu entry..

look up in this thread above up 4

there is SDL that is what most of us are using already
wolf_pup has that pet packaged
it is the same SDL required by Qemu also


it is always better to list packages separated
with python so when you uninstall you dont
remove needed depends from other packages

also its much easier to maintain and update
separate pet packages

all the python I built will be 100 % compatible
with any python application compiled for slackware
giving you more options

I have set a stable standard this way
I dont have mis/matched depends this way

puppyluvr
so I suggest offer your app
as separate pets
looking forward to trying your app

pygtk

http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/p ... 2.14.1.pet
http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/p ... 1.4.12.pet
http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/pygtk-2.12.pet


you need this python then add the above packages for the GUI gtk
support

I personally wouldn't mix Python and SDL and a main program together, It would make it difficult to uninstall Python, Well it could be done manually, but a real pain, I do include deps with some pet packages I create just by compiling each dep and adding it to the main package and testing it out, if its missing another dep then I compile that one and add it to the main package, luckily sometimes they tell you what is needed.
If you need SDL here's my SDL files
http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/programs/SDL-Programs/
I don't know if the server is up yet to download them, but feel free to link them to any software release you make, if you want.

Hello,
Yes. once again, in my haste to make it easy, I failed to see the obvious, and consider the UNinstall complications..

Not home now, but will pet up Childsplay and extras, later..
Thanks for the info...Jay...

@ EDIT removed for a while...
Needs more work...BRB...LOL...

well now that you have python and pygtk installed lets have fun

I wanted some easy paint for my kids and this easy to use


http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/mypaint-0.5.1.pet


just some techno details:
I compiled this on slackware 12.1 from source
then made it a slackware package because
there wasnt one available

then I converted the package to the puppy package format
with some edits to make it work

this app is 100% python so you can hack away and and add more features if you want to

It won't let me download any of them. All I get is "Concurrent download limit exceeded." I've tried numerous times over several days.

Hey bigbass untill eric's servers are up i've been uploading files temp at http://www.slingfile.com
they offer free hosting, no popups, very fast file downloads, around 500kb/s, no signup. I tried about 10 different ones and this one worked out the best, They even pay you $1 for every 1000 downloads, if you make a free account, I didn't make one. but anyways its a quick fix for the moment.
