[NF] Queries re: Python & Such...

Hey there folks, So, I know there is a Leafe mailing list for Python, as I just looked on the Leafe mailing lists website. But, sadly - unlike this one - it pretty much looks dead. Sad - since I was just beginning to get back into some Python programming again. I did notice that even this forum has gotten to be VERY Quiet. Sad indeed! Truthfully, I have not seriously done any FoxPro since like 2020, and even that was a Small personal project. Last serious work was in like Nov 2017. And, I know that FoxPro usage in general is dying off across the world... Anyway - back to the topic at hand: Python. In my case, I'm actually using the PySimpleGUI to build UI's. Its a project I'm coming back to, as it was mothballed about a year ago - due to a big round of layoffs at the 3D Printing co. where I was working. So - yeah, FYI - I'm back at that co. - they hired me back last year in Oct.! I'm pretty thrilled to be back - especially as it truly is my Dream Job! Anyway - short synopsis of tool I am working on. If someone is printing a REALLY Large print job - which can literally take like 5 days or more to run, problem is - if you get an error on the machine that can not be recovered from. It can be a pretty Epic fail - not only because all the lost hours, but, also costs of filament. For instance - a special filament like Ultem - can run a customer like $750 for 2.5Kg of the stuff. So, if a customer runs a big print job - and they are on the 2nd spool - and printer dies 1/2 way thru that spool - you have essentially thrown like $1100 Down the Toilet! The tool I am creating will essentially take a massive GCode file, and based upon criteria - find out where it left off printing. Then, remove all the lines of code that have already been printed - but, making sure some of the GCode lines at the top, like print temperatures - are still included. Then, it will have proper lines to restart that print job. Anyway - probably TMI in regards to this posting. But, if anyone could point me in the direction of a forum similar to this one - where I could get some help in Python programming - that would be Awesome! Thanks, Kurt

PSA: GitHub's got a new RSA key, you'll need to update
by Ted Roche 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

If you try updating a github-based repository, you may get a dire warning about keys not matching, potential man-in-the-middle attack, someone may be watching you right now!!! Yeah, that's not it. "Out of an abundance of caution," says GitHub, they have reissued their keys as one or more may have been exposed publicly for a brief period. This isn't an abundance, this is a minimum good housekeeping after losing control of your keys. Read more and instructions to update any of your access to github here: https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updated-our-rsa-ssh-host-key/

Error instantiating class when opening a form
by Man-wai Chang 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

I had a form without the class lib. Could I force open the form ignoring the class instantiation error? Other than opening the form.scx, delete those references and pack it ... :) -- .~.
