weird; I'm totally unfamiliar with this aspect of windows programming. I have never heard of this "path" idiom, and I'm not exactly sure why you'd need it to create arbitrary graphical arguments. I...

python.

You could try it with the -y switch, that enters easy mode. I don't recommend using it though, because then you don't have easy access to the tremendous power of vim. Also, there are some fabulous...

that almost works. :) The only problem is the commands are asynchronous, so the cat happens before gvim gets a chance to write.

I changed it to the following:


gvim .clipboard -c 'norm "*p'...

I'm trying it in X. With gvim, "*p and "+p work as expected; in vim, it seems to be pasting from somewhere else (dunno where, but it looks like something I would have copied before)... in ex, nothing...

Hrmm. doesn't seem to be working for me. "*p isn't putting anything into the buffer in ex.

cfaun5: that's genius, you get a gold star. :) Though I should mention, he may want to use "+p instead of "*p,

"*p works for hilighted and middle-click pasting, while
"+p works for actual...

oh, yeah, python comes with a "freeze" utility for linux, which I'm totally unfamiliar with.. but it's supposed to be some form of "compiling-like" mechanism. Not sure.

python compiles it's code into bytecode (.pyc files); I think there are various levels of optimization you can set. There's no real way to compile it into an executable that I know of, except with...

try using the function clock() .. (use 'man clock' to get info on it.)

let's say your gui has a button that when pressed, runs some algorithm.. simply do

start_time = clock()

You asked what I'd recommend, and Python is certainly as useful for general programming tasks in Linux as anything else. (Python also has the "portability without recompiling" thing going for it, I...

that's always the best thing. I never mean to tell anybody "stop using this and start using that!" But just try them.. really try them both.. code each for a week, try a similar (real) project in...

Here is a thread with a few different (very simple) gui applications. Granted, this is in python, but if you take a few minutes to go over them, you should figure out what they're doing. In Qt,...

shouldn't this be moved to the networking forum? I'm sure you'd get more help there.

I'm currently doing my project for my MS in Computer Science, and ever bit of code I'm working with is Python. I'm implementing an artificial society, the purpose of which is to study the effects of...

I love python for precisely the reason MMA says he doesn't like it. It has minimal syntactic garbage... it's as close to executable pseudocode as I've ever seen. why have { and } in your code when...

I too say vim.. it's the only editor I use... and I do my fair share of coding. (If you're stuck in windows, you can even get a plugin for visual studio that lets you use vim with it)

okay, this is a bit off topic and pretentious, but salil, if you're just getting into gui programming with python, I strongly suggest you take a look at pyqt or pygtk. I've found the docs for tkinter...

Many here will tell you to use vim and make, and that's it... No, it's not GUI (well, gvim is :D), but it can be quite tightly integrated. A new alternative to make is the Apache Ant project, which...
