Supersedes applications such as pysh and PyFox. QLauch is a simple and fast filestarter. On Windows, it uses the Windows API to start files, on other platforms, it uses os.system().

With QLauch you can lauch any program or file with a few keystrokes (usually not more than 3).

This is also a disadvantage for many people: you have to remember all the mnemonics. For this reason, I give no information to use it at all, nor will I supply an easy Windows installer. If you want to use it: the code is your documentation. It is less than 100 lines of clear, selfdocumenting and unobfuscated Python code, so should be doable.

The version is currently 0.0, but it's a final release.

OpenLife is a simulation game of human beings.

I recently decided I'd do it all different. I'll write the core in C and the rest in Lua.

Note: it turns out this thing is actually quite hard. I've got several small tech demos, but combining them (and getting some kind of graphics engine) is a different story.

I was a bit too late when I thought of this game. It will take some time to make this game, since I'll be working with an actual artist (i.e.: someone who can draw). All I can say is that it will probably be written in Lua and made with the game framework LÖVE, which just happens to have a name quite appropriate for a Valentine's Game.

This is actually PyFox 3.0, but the GUI wouldn't work, so I made a command line version. Recently updated: now you can easily launch any file.

Source (I'm not going through all the trouble of Py2Exe and making an installer for a Python of only one file!)

Note #1
You might want to create a PyFox.txt file in the same directory as pysh. The first line must be:

#PyFox data file -- V0.0

And the following lines should have the format:

title :: location :: dir :: action

Of which the last two may be omitted.

PyFox is the successor of uFox, written in Python. For Windows users only. Other systems wouldn't actually need PyFox.

New in 2.0:
- You can now find and open Start Menu and Desktop links and your documents as well as the user defined files. And everything is very fast!
- Easier to work with.

Version 3 is almost ready. Except for PyFox, it will include PyDirView, which is a way for searching inside folders without invoking the Windows shell.
