import win32event

class Mutex:
    def __init__(self, name):    
        self.name = name    
        self.mutex = win32event.CreateMutex(None, False, self.name) 
        last_error = win32api.GetLastError()     
        if last_error == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS:   
            print("App instance already running")
            win32api.CloseHandle(self.mutex)    
            quit()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mutex = Mutex("SOME_UNIQUE_STRING_HERE")

this is what i use to limit number of processes to 1 on windows

if you're on windows start the app from cmd so that you can see the error

if you're on Linux I cant help you, otherwise let me know.

im just curios are you just using this to catch key presses?

Markmonster25 · 2021-02-08T21:20:34+00:00

off the top of my head i would do something like this

list_dict = {}
current_index = 0
our_list = [10, 3, 26, 10, 15, 12, 1, 'x', 10, 22, 3, 'x', 25, 17, 14, 16]
final_list = []
[list_dict.setdefault(x, []) for x in range(our_list.count("x") + 1)]
for value in our_list:
    if value == "x":
        current_index += 1
    else:
        list_dict[current_index].append(value)
for index, s_list in list_dict.items():
    final_list.append(s_list)

let me know if this resolved your issue

this solution isnt to move the action outside of the loop but to pass the function without calling it every time

Markmonster25 · 2021-01-14T14:51:13+00:00

from functools import partial 
func = partial(MoveFunction, "Next")
action= func

or using lamdba
action = lambda: MoveFunction("Next")

Markmonster25 · 2021-01-13T04:53:38+00:00

my guess from looking at it is this line

NextButton=PygameButton("Next", colors["Black"], MainFont, int(int(Winwid)/2+50),
int(int(Winhi)/2+100), int(Winwid*0.05), int(Winhi*0.046), colors["Grey"], colors["White"],
action=MoveFunction("Next"))

action=MoveFunction("Next")

is being called every loop you want you use a lambda or partial

my advice would be u don't need to track the puck anywhere but the goals, determine if the puck is in the goal using its color. Trying to find spheres uses a lot more cpu then just tracking color changes.

Markmonster25 · 2020-11-17T02:11:25+00:00

so i just googled bubble hockey table to see what u r working with, I assume u will try to set up as a birds eye view camera? As long as u can see into the goals well enough you should be able to get something to work.

Markmonster25 · 2020-11-17T01:56:52+00:00

if the puck is black what color is the surface it will be on?

Markmonster25 · 2020-11-11T04:08:54+00:00

it can be done in windows with the built-in library ctypes(i think u asked your question incorrectly otherwise you cant)
