BOA-CONSTRUCTOR(1)					      General Commands Manual						BOA-CONSTRUCTOR(1)

NAME

       boa-constructor - RAD tool for Python and WxWindows

SYNOPSIS

       boa-constructor [-CDTSBERhv] [-O directory] [--Constricted] [--Debug] [--Trace] [--StartupFile] [--BlockHomePrefs] [--EmptyEditor [--Remot-
       eDebugServer] [--help] [--version] [files...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the boa-constructor command.	This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the orig-
       inal 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 trace-
	      back.

       -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
	      Prevent the $HOME directory being used.

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

       -R, --RemoteDebugServer
	      Run the first filename passed on the command-line in a Remote Debugger Server that can be connected to over a socket.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.
