I am thinking of trying to run Python Classes for beginners similar to the
Boston Workshops but for all genders here in Cape Town. I use Ubuntu for my
python work. Most people are more used to windows (XP) and I know no one
with a Mac (over twice the price in general).
Which OS is the most tested by you with Dabo?

Allan

For me, I run OS X Lion. I used to have a nice VM setup with WinXP and Ubuntu VMs, but I don't have that machine any more, so it's pretty much OS X here.

The most tested by me is the setup I've had for years now:
Python 2.6.5 / wxPython 2.8.12.1 on:
Mac OS 10.5
Ubuntu 10.4
Windows Vista
Most people using my software use either Windows XP or Windows 7, but I do have a
handful of Mac users and three Linux users that I'm aware of.
I'm going to have to bite the bullet soon, but my development, building, testing, and
deployment environments have all been working smoothly so right now there's little
incentive to upgrade.

Mac here because the environment is almost setup out the box. I have my
business programs (all dabo) running on a combination of Mac and Windows
because UPS worldship (which the dabo programs integrate with) only runs on
Windows...
I've noticed some things: developing features on the mac generally almost
always work as expected when ported to windows. Developing features on
windows (especially UI layouts with bodersizers or things with images) with
half the time break or look very funky on Mac.
So, my recommendation is if you are spinning up VM's for the class, then
spin up OS X VM's. If not, then I would probably go Windows.

Nate

Off topic - have you been able to setup a VM on anything (other than a MAC)
that will run Mac OS. If so which VM. Or are you saying use a Mac and run
VM's for windows etc...?

Thanks all who replied.
>From what you are saying it's
Mac
Windows (XP or Vista or Win 7)
Linux
I was hoping to get 'students' to bring begged borrowed or own Laptop
and proceed from there loading first sqliteman,python 2.7 then wx finally
dabo.
Then to get them to suggest a program they would like to write.
Create structure with sqliteman then create dabo application then modify
from there.
Too think a few years ago in so little time you would produce very little.
I think this will give them instant success and a desire to learn more.
I think I will only get windows OS's
Thanks for the speedy replies.
You guys are really great.

Use VirtualBox.
http://lifehacker.com/5583650/run-mac-os-x-in-virtualbox-on-windows is an
example of how to get it running. You might want to google for a more up
to date example.
