PPyGUI

ConfigObj

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html Current version of KaaShopping has nessesary code from this project included.

tGetFile.dll

  • Get tGetFile from Tillanosoft web site
    Use the Pocket PC Version. At least that worked on for me on testing platform MS-Device Emulator (v3.0) as well as on real hardware (aka. Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X1) .
  • Fix 'ppygui-0.7'
    KaaShopping is patched since it has SVN version of PPyGUI included.
    Usage of tGetFile.dll is broken in ppygui-0.7.
    Follow following instructions to make it work:
    1. Open ppygui\filedlg.py with a text editor
    2. locate to "# Detect if tGetFile.dll is present" (at line 50)
    3. you'll see
          tGetFile = cdll.tgetfile.tGetFile
          def GetOpenFileName(ofn):
              tGetFile(True, ofn)
          def GetSaveFileName(ofn):
              tGetFile(False, ofn)
          
    4. alter the statements like this
          tGetFile = cdll.tgetfile.tGetFile
          def GetOpenFileName(ofn):
              return tGetFile(True, ofn)
          def GetSaveFileName(ofn):
              return tGetFile(False, ofn)
          
    5. Finaly remove/delete filedlg.pyc
