[wxPython-users] XRC fits from the command line

[Mike Driscoll]

Mr. Dunn,

I have the xrc file in the same directory as the python file that loads
it. So I use the following to load it: 

self.res = xrc.XmlResource('login.xrc')

The .cmd file that I am using calls the file by executing the following
command:

%PYTHONHOME%\python.exe
%NLPath%\PythonPackages\Development\Timesheet\backup\login_XRC.py

Where %PYTHONHOME% points to the path that holds the python executable and
where %NLPath% points to the path that the python file is.

I use this call all the time for other GUI's I've created that don't use
the XRC method yet. I am hoping to re-write some of that code to use it as
I like the ease of use of XRC.

Hopefully this will give you the information you need. 

Mike

I expect that it is failing to load the xrc data.  How are you doing that?
Is a full pathname used?  Or is it assuming that the xrc file is in the
current directory but your current directory is somewhere else?
