Where's the code?
Yes, I've seen the instruction to NOT ask where the code is, but I'm frustrated. I've looked where I'm supposed to look. Now, where is it?
Thanks,
snake

That's a legit question in this case. I'm checking with the editor to find out what the delay is and when the code will be available.

I don't know the story on why it isn't in, so please please, don't shoot the messenger. I'm told the author will have it in in a couple of weeks and we should have it posted to the site soon after that, so probably by the end of Aug.
Again, I want to assure you all we're working on some safeguards to make sure code is available at the same time as books.

I have been looking all over the website for the program that is described on page 3 of this book called PythonCard and I can not find this as well. Can someone please tell me where I can find this. Thanks!!

Snake and jl4571: An update, the final code is in-house, it should be released on the web site within a week (I hope). kickinjack77, if the code you mention on page 3 is part of the code for the whole book, it should be posted with the rest of the book code within a week.

Instead of waiting for WROX to post the code for PythonCard you can use the instructions on page 606 of Beginning Python to download code from Source Forge for PythonCard. If you are using a 2.4 version of Python make sure you get a version of wxpython that is 2.4 compatible. The link provided by Source Forge supplies a version of wxpython that is compatible with versions 2.3 of python and will give you a missing python23.dll error message if you try to use it with 2.4 versions of python.

The code is now posted. There are however a couple of chapters of code missing. I'm told the files we got for those chapters were corrupt and as soon as we can get good versions, those will be posted too.

kickinjack77,
Sorry about the delay. I thought that wiley would send me more specific instructions regarding the forum, etc. Now that I'm on, though, pythoncard is, as hrh1818 said, available from http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/. It is a far richer tool that we made use of in the book, so please look at the applications and examples that come with it.
-Peter
