DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
boa-constructor command. This
manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page.
boa-constructor is an IDE and a RAD tool for creating cross-platform
applications built on top of the Python language and the WxWindows GUI
toolkit.
OPTIONS¶
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.
- -O, --OverridePrefsDirName directory
- Specify a different directory to load preferences from. Default is
$HOME/.boa-constructor and is used if it exists. Directory will be created
(and populated) if it does not exist.
- -C, --Constricted
- Run in constricted mode, overrides the preferences.
- -D, --Debug
- Run the first filename passed on the command-line in the Debugger on
startup.
- -T, --Trace
- Run in trace mode. Used for tracking down core dumps. Every function call
is logged to a file which can later be parsed for a traceback.
- -S, --StartupFile
- Execute the script pointed to by $BOASTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP in the
Shell namespace. The Editor object is available as sys.boa_ide. Overrides
the preferences.
- -B, --BlockHomePrefs

- -E, --EmptyEditor
- Don't open the files that were open last time Boa was closed.

Server that can be connected to over a socket.
