EventGhost

But I know how it can be modified to make it work:

EDIT: what the heck, I just tried it again and it's working now. SO BIZARRE.

EDIT2: okay so I've noticed, if you make ANY CHANGES to the code above, and press TEST, EG will error like I quoted below. If you hit OK and OPEN THE SCRIPT BACK UP ...

Pasted this really simple code into an EG Python script:


import wx

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
choices = ["Alpha", "Baker", "Charlie", "Delta"]
dialog = wx.SingleChoiceDialog(None, "Pick A Word", "Choices",choices)
if dialog.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
print "You selected: %s\n" % dialog ...

Crud, okay, no tkinter for me...back to the drawing board...

Been using this for a few weeks now and absolutely love it!

I think...the best solution to your Karaoke setup would be to have everyone interact via a locally-served webpage, cutting out apps entirely. Going the Tasker / Eventghost route may not be the best choice.

I've only found THREE ways you can send a message to an Android phone from a desktop, and have Tasker react:

1) Autoremote

(which i didn't like because it doesn't work entirely on your local network, but that's just me. The app/plugin is fantastic)

2) the Eventghost app by Tim Hoeck: https ...

Okay so to add additional python modules to Eventghost, you just put the scripts in

/lib26/site-packages

it seems they CAN'T be in a subdirectory, and the name used as import must be the name of the file (???)

i've gotten several modules (is that even the right term?) to work this way, but ...

So it looks like Eventghost runs on Stackless Python 2.6.5 final 0 ,

...which DOESN'T include a Python library called tkinter ....

...which is very VERy useful in making GUI elements (which i'd like to do)...

...so Slackless Python 3.2.2 is available, and I'd like to just install that over 2.6.5 ...

is there a way to view all upcoming tasks added with eg.scheduler.AddTask or eg.scheduler.AddTaskAbsolute ?

They don't seem to show up in SchedulGhost...

this looks GREAT! I can't wait to try it out!

hey everybody -

I'm completely new to Python but I've managed to get really far with just general Googling and poking around Stackoverflow, I've looked up my question and haven't found a proper answer so I thought I'd register and ask it here...

Okay, how do you add a Python module to Eventghost ...
