    Regardless, I was thinking that i could try grabbing the current windows build number and checking against that as well in the checks for setting DPI mode to ensure we are using the newest API for the user's current build

    @freakboy3742
    Sounds like a good idea (at least, more reliable than a try/catch)
    Bryce Palmer
    @everettraven
    I will get that working and then submit a PR with the fix now that we know what each one of the functions should work on.
    Bryce Palmer
    @everettraven
    Alright, I have beeware/toga#717 submitted with the fix (Can confirm toga now works for me using that fix).

    Hi, what is the best way to keep myself updated regarding beeware and android support, im awaiting its getting fixed so i can start learning creating pyrhon android apps ;-)

    @baastrup_gitlab Twitter (@pybeeware) is probably the most reliable channel for high-level announcements.

    @everettraven
    I went ahead and updated beeware/toga#717 and believe I implemented the changes you requested @freakboy3742

    @everettraven /me looks
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    @everettraven All looks good (well… hideously complex, but that’s Microsoft’s fault, not yours :-)
    And merged!
    Thanks for the contribution! If you’re looking for some more DPI related fun… if you can explain beeware/toga#710, that would be most helpful

    In case I haven't mentioned it... beeware/voc#961 (iterable unpacking, fixes some of the DEXing problems) and beeware/voc#968 (round() improvements, fixes some test suit failures w/ Python 3.7) should be ready for review.
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    @whydoubt Thanks - I’ll put those on my list to look at today
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    @whydoubt Reviewed those two; round() is merged, iterable unpacking broadly looks good, but I’ve got a couple of small questions.

    hello please can anyone share a link to a project they've done with Batavia. I would love to read some such project codes to learn from

    @freakboy3742 - When you have a minute, I'd like to get your input on briefcase issue 210 - beeware/briefcase#210 ahter and I have been working on it together and want to finish it up. You had previously commented on the pull request - I believe that we've addressed those. What needs to happen to get the pull request included into briefcase?
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    @magic-lantern My sincere apologies - that PR has been on my todo list for weeks, and I keep getting buried by other things. I’ll take a look as soon as I get a chance.
    Seth Russell
    @magic-lantern
    no worries - I figured I had missed some step and wanted guidance

    does briefcase's macOS target need to be run on a macOS system?
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    @jtrakk No. macOS’s app format is literally a directory structure convention, so it can be run on any platform, and the resulting application should work when moved to a macOS platform.
    (I put an asterisk on that in that I haven’t literally tested that this is true, and I haven’t confirmed if windows line endings might cause complications in the templating process - but in principle, there’s nothing “platform specific” about the macOS process on Briefcase).
    However, iOS can only be compiled on macOS; Windows can only be compiled on Windows; and Linux will in the very near future require Linux.

    @voltagex Hi!
    So - Minecraft plugins
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    Yes!
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    The first question: how familiar are you with the two tools that I mentioned on Twitter (VOC and Rubicon-Java)?
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    I don't get the CPython one
    Is VOC a BeeWare thing?
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    Yes, on both counts.
    VOC will take Python source code, and compile it into Java bytecode
    So you end up with .class files.
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    Never used it, but that's awesome.
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    It also means you can extend Java base classes, implement Java interfaces, and so on
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    I'll need more help with the Minecraft side of it
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    That part I can’t help with :-)
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    It's been so long since I used the decompilation stuff
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    But if you can find a “hello world” Java Minecraft plugin, I can show you how to convert that to Python.

    @freakboy3742
    The other approach is Rubicon - that takes the embedding route. It makes it easy (or… easier… :-) ) to use JNI to communicate between Python and Java runtimes
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    Okay, will do. Probably starting at some point on Saturday
    I'll take a look at both
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    so you end up embedding the CPython interpreter as part of a Java C module, but then the Python bridge means you can access Java objects fairly transparently.
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    Wonder if Flask would run there ;)
    Russell Keith-Magee
    @freakboy3742
    In Rubicon? Sure. In VOC… probably not.
    Rubicon is plain old CPython, in embedded mode.
    So any legal Python is still legal
    VOC would require an implmementation of the native parts of the standard libarry doing networking.
    Adam Baxter
    @voltagex
    So cool to see how far BeeWare has come
