Dink Software

But i dont do any programming on linux ,why... i simply dont wanna bothering myself
with OS which dont have nativly GUI subsystem.

Code: Select all

from pywin.mfc import dialog
import win32ui
import win32con
import time

def MakeDlgTemplate():
style = (win32con.DS_MODALFRAME |
win32con.WS_POPUP |
win32con.WS_VISIBLE |
win32con.WS_CAPTION |
win32con.WS_SYSMENU |
win32con.DS_SETFONT)
cs = (win32con.WS_CHILD |
win32con.WS_VISIBLE)

w = 215
h = 36

dlg = [["Progress bar",
(0, 0, w, h),
style,
None,
(8, "MS Sans Serif")],
]
return dlg

class TestDialog(dialog.Dialog):
def OnInitDialog(self):
rc = dialog.Dialog.OnInitDialog(self)
self.pbar = win32ui.CreateProgressCtrl()
self.pbar.CreateWindow (win32con.WS_CHILD |
win32con.WS_VISIBLE,
(10, 10, 310, 24),
self, 1001)
return rc

def demo():
d = TestDialog (MakeDlgTemplate())
d.CreateWindow ()
for i in xrange(100):
d.pbar.SetPos(i)
time.sleep(0.1)

d.OnCancel()

if __name__=='__main__':
demo()

I think Python is a better language and more powerful than most dialects of BASIC in reality

Dink...
I cannot say that python is not powerfull , unfortunatly your guessing is far away from reality.
Did you ever try:
Power Basic
Pure Basic
Free Basic
IW Basic
all of this are basic compiler which compile directly to native win32 standalone aplication.
and all of this support full Object oriented way of programmming if you mean under
powerfull python.
I dont see what python can offer better and much powerfull then this languages.
Infact he is just a interpreter which support OO way of programming nothing more .
Look what all can for example thinBasic which is basic interpreter.
And speed of execution is much bigger then py programs for sure.

• If the domain of the desktop ran application wants to compete with the web, portablity is important. It is something the web can offer effortlessly. Python is naturally quite portable. You seem to be quite Windows-centric and thus may dispute the fact this is a very powerful feature of Python.
• Python only has a few implementations; CPython, Jython, IronPython, S60 Python and PyOy, plus a few low-key ones. BASIC has seemlingly millions of implementations who each do it slightly differently. There is no standard definition of BASIC meaning the language will struggle to evolve and improve.
• When you say "compile directly to native win32 standalone aplication", do you mean directly into machine code? If so, there is no way you could, or should have expected Python to compete on the performance front.
• Python is built around an OO model; everything is an object. This is not a downside, it is different. If you think Python is just an interpreter with OOP capabilites slapped on top, you are misinformed. Python is a versatile, expressive language which will let you write fully functioning code quickly. The development of Python is governed by the belief that there should only be one obvious way to do something.
• Python has impressive third-party support. There are so many libraries out there, and it is so easy to extend Python, very few languages can compete.

I know that some programer use even on windows GUI toolkits like wx,GTK or Qt. I find this gui not windows like. However i prefer native win look.
