Setting wx.TextCtrl readonly

Simply use the following code:

txtCtrl.SetEditable(False)

# Also its a good idea to change the backgroud colour so user will know that is has became readonly.

txtCtrl.SetBackgroundColour((255,23,23))

lst.reverse()
for l in lst:    
    self.grid_ShareDetails.DeleteRows(l,1)

PitHole: RPM : "warning, user XXX does not exist - using root"

If while installing rpm package following error occurs

warning: user XXX does not exist - using root

Issue : I'm trying to build/install an rpm and it keeps giving me these warnings while installing the binary. Though I heard this could be safely ignored as its bcos there is no user XXX on my box, was wondering if there is a way to supress this in the rpm spec file itself. I know I could also manually build it as root. But curious if we could supress this from the spec.

Resolution:

Add the following in the spec file and recompile the spec file

%defattr(-,root,root)

TIPS: deltree in Windows
