It is a method in a larger gui object that controls hardware on a remote machine (called a PAN) and loads commands from files. def modeFiles(self): try: sysFile = self.chkConnected() except Disconnect,e: return (False, '') self.pan.ppxGetAVP( ('modeFdir', ) ) dir = self.pan.avps['modeFdir'].get() fileList = fetchModFiles(self.pan, dir=dir) flist = [] for file in fileList: idx = rfind(file, '/') flist.append(file[idx+1:]) dlg = Pmw.ComboBoxDialog(self.parent, title = 'Mode File Select', buttons=('Load', 'Cancel'), defaultbutton='Load', combobox_labelpos=N, label_text='Which Mode file to load', scrolledlist_items=flist, listbox_width=32) dlg.geometry('240x300+30+250') dlg.tkraise() result = dlg.activate(geometry='240x300+30+250') if result == 'Load': print "loading %s/%s "%(dir, dlg.get()) self.pan.ppxSetMode( (dlg.get(),) ) else: print "leaving" here is fetchModFilesz def fetchModFiles(pan=None, dir=None): """ A function to read mod files on remote pan in directory dir """ fileList = [] if pan is not None: if dir is None: rCmd = "/bin/echo $MONSOON_HOME" dir = commands.getoutput("ssh -X -l monsoon %s '%s'" % (pan.panName, rCmd) ) dir = dir+os.sep+'_'+pan.sysName lsCmd = "/bin/ls %s/*.mod"%(dir,) resp = commands.getoutput("ssh -X -l monsoon %s '%s'"% (pan.panName, lsCmd)) fileList = resp.split("\n") else: pass return fileList Someday I may have time to go back and clean these up and generalize them. But as the only software guy on a 3 man-year project due to complete in 9 months quick and dirty is the rule.

Would you recomend I upgrade and if yes > to which version? The version of python really isn't tightly coupled to the version of Tk, it is the configuration of how that python is built. ActivePython builds with Tk 8.5, so if you are using that, and it is < v3.1 (where ttk is in the core), then just do: pypm install pyttk which will install the wrapper you need for Ttk into v2.6 or 2.7 python. You need to make sure that you have Tk 8.5 (Tkinter.TkVersion >= 8.5) for ttk to work (though not technically true, the 8.4 tile version has subtle differences). The core python distro is still using the older Tk 8.4 in stock installers iiuc. Jeff

It has been changed to tkinter with a lowercase t in Python 3.x for naming consistency reasons. |
