Is there a simple way to run a Python script on Windows/Linux/OS X? On the latter two, subprocess.Popen("/the/script.py") works, but on Windows I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test_functional.py", line 91, in test_functional log = tvnamerifiy(tmp) File "test_functional.py", line 49, in tvname...

I have a Perl-Tk GUI with about 50 sub-windows. In each sub-window there are about 50 buttons and 50 menus (each menu has about 4 options). When I run it on UNIX/Linux/Solaris, it runs smoothly. When I run it on Windows, the GUI freezes in the middle of loading so I see only some of the buttons, or the GUI doesn't show at all it seem...

The tutorials I've found on WxPython all use examples from Linux, but there seem to be differences in some details. For example, in Windows a Panel behind the widgets is mandatory to show the background properly. Additionally, some examples that look fine in the tutorials don't work in my computer. So, do you know what important differ...
