If you install the pythoncard-doc package, you can find the PythonCard documentation (essentially the entire SourceForge website), along with all of the sample code, in: /usr/share/doc/pythoncard-doc The HTML documentation is also available through the Debian help system (via tools such as doc-central, dwww and dhelp) in the Devel section. If you have installed the pythoncard-tools package, you should be able to invoke the codeEditor, resourceEditor and findfiles tools directly from the command-line, via a set of shell scripts that source the appropriate Python modules. The pythoncard-tools package also provides Debian menu entries for the PythonCard tools. The codeEditor and resourceEditor tools should appear under Apps/Programming, and the findfiles tool will appear under Apps/Tools. When a PythonCard app is run for the first time, it copies several files into a per-user configuration directory. I've changed PythonCard's default behavior regarding per-user directories in several ways. First, I have changed the per-user directory to be ~/.pythoncard from the default of ~/pythoncard_config. I believe this is more consistent with a typical Debian application's behavior. Second, I have changed the location that the per-user configuration files are sourced from. Normally, these files would be sourced from the PythonCard package directory. I don't think that this location is consistent with Debian's filesystem standards, so I've placed them into /usr/share/pythoncard instead. These changes required me to update config.py. The changes are labeled appropriately.
