My Python Page

Last updated 31 January 2005.

My Python page will only give some easy tips how to get my scripts running. This is only tested on Windows.

Installation

To use my small python scripts you need to install Python version 2.3. I have used 2.3.3 during my development and testing.

- Install Python
First go to www.python.org and download the needed python installation file. Current version seems to be 2.4 and there are ready build install files for Windows. Just run it when you have finish the download.

- Install “win32 extension modules”
You need to download the win32 extension modules to be able to use the USPP Library, see below. This file will be named pywin32-200.win32-py2.3.exe and you can get on this site.

- Install USPP Library
The installation of this library is easy. Just download the uspp-0_2.zip file and unpack it into the libary directory for under your python installation. This I found under “c:\Program\Python23\Lib“ when I installed Python 2.3. If you want more information about USPP search for USPP and python on Internet.

My Python Scripts

Here is a list of my current Python scripts. When downloading the files remember to change the suffix from txt to py.

- ICOM IC-706 front panel client script.
This script will connect to a selected COM port there the ICOM IC-706 front panel shall be connected. The program also tries to connect to an ICOM IC-706 radio server on a Linux server somewhere out there. For more information go to this page.
