GUI2Exe - svn version of 23.09.2008

Werner_F_Bruhin1 · September 23, 2008, 9:32am

Hi Andrea,

Checked out the version from SVN and did a bit of testing - not a lot, will try to do some more during the week.

- the zipfile option now works for me - great!
- like your tool tips, they look great. Would suggest that you turn them on by default, they are handy for new users, who might not immediately find the option setting.
  - little note to the actual tip content:
     - the one for "compressed" for py2exe does not give the levels in the text
     - the one for "data files" has a little spell error, "choice ine the menu" should be "choice in the menu"

I am tempted to start changing my application setup.py over to GUI2exe but wouldn't want to have to redo it, so are projects going to "upgrade" to new versions of GUI2exe or are you still considering moving to a different backend?

As always you have done a great job!
Werner

Hi Werner,

Checked out the version from SVN and did a bit of testing - not a lot, will
try to do some more during the week.

Thank you for your help

- the zipfile option now works for me - great!

Yep, that was a very old bug which slipped in...

- like your tool tips, they look great. Would suggest that you turn them on
by default, they are handy for new users, who might not immediately find the
option setting.

Done, they are on by default unless you uncheck the option and close
GUI2Exe (which will save your choice in wx.Config, so next time they
will be off)

- little note to the actual tip content:
- the one for "compressed" for py2exe does not give the levels in the
text
- the one for "data files" has a little spell error, "choice ine the
menu" should be "choice in the menu"

Thank you, I have fixed them.

I am tempted to start changing my application setup.py over to GUI2exe but
wouldn't want to have to redo it, so are projects going to "upgrade" to new
versions of GUI2exe or are you still considering moving to a different
backend?

Uhm, if I understand you correctly, I am going to stick with bsddb as
database backend unless something very extraordinary happens or unless
I get a strong message against it by the wxPython community (and other
communities). So, basically, from now on the database will be stable
enough for you not to worry about re-doing things in the future. In
any case, I would suggest you to wait until the new release comes out
(after I, with the great help from Cody Precord, will have sorted out
all the remaining issues), and then move your application setup to
GUI2Exe. At that point, I foresee only minor adjustment to the GUI and
to some options (mainly from PyInstaller, cx_Freeze and bbFreeze,
about which I know very little), but nothing that will harm existing
databases.

As always you have done a great job!

Thank you!

Andrea.

Make sure that you log in to gmail or some or Google account first. Then navigate to the GUI2Exe code page. Click the Profile link next to your username at the top right. Then click the Settings tab to get your password. I had to use my username minus the @myaddress.com plus the password on that page.

There's no need to use authentication to get a read-only copy. Just go to a command-line window and type:

svn co http://gui2exe.googlecode.com/svn/trunk gui2exe

Authentication is only needed if you want to commit changes.

Well, with TortoiseSVN, it seems you do need authentication. I tried using your commands in the Tortoise, but it didn't like it or any permutation I came up with. I had tried that earlier before Andrea told me to try using my Google Code password. Is there a better program to use for SVN access on Windows?

By reading the GUI2Exe google page:

Use this command to anonymously check out the latest project source code:

# Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.
svn checkout http://gui2exe.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gui2exe-read-only

I am not sure on how to do it in TortoiseSVN (I use it too), but it
seems it is possible...

Hello,

I also use Tortoise and I didn't have any trouble with following url: http://gui2exe.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

I just tried with TortoiseSVN, and it downloaded fine.

I did not use the command line - I created a folder, right-clicked, and
selected SVN checkout. I gave it the url
http://gui2exe.googlecode.com/svn/trunk and it just worked.

Maybe it's a corporate firewall thing? That's exactly what I do, but I get a "Request failed" and a "400 Bad Request". This does work if I use the https way of doing it and I give it a username/password. I should try it at home where I just have a NAT.

I use TortoiseSVN too on WinVista and did not have any problems with authentication.

- On the URL for repo:
http://gui2exe.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

- on the checkout folder whatever you want
- Checkout depth, I have fully recursive
- Revision, I have "Head" checked

Yes, as long as the svn.exe can be found on the PATH.

Yes, that's possible. SVN uses WebDav and it has a few commands other than the typical http GET and POST. Some firewalls do block those.
