I was about to start one project of a PyGTK-based alarm. Thanks for sharing it!

However, there are some problems:

― I can't chose the command that'll be executed.
― The ID gets wrong after a few messing around. And I think it's useless, given that we already have a Task Name.
― I think it would be better to select the time from a spinbutton rather than from a normal button.
― The included command does not work for me. It just opens a Terminal and puts it in forever-looping.

Of course, I am not just going to criticize your good work:

Would you consider merging some of the changes in case I post the code here?


Thanks for starting it, man!

Why is your code divided in BaseWindow and MyWindow?

thanks


well now to the questions


Q: I can't chose the command that'll be executed.
A: You can just change the mplayer.sh file

Q: The ID gets wrong after a few messing around. And I think it's useless, given that we already have a Task Name.
A: It's a matter of personal preference, neways i'll post an update soon
Q: I think it would be better to select the time from a spinbutton rather than from a normal button.
A: Ya, that is true, but when I wrote this I was just learning. Point noted updated package will soon add this.
Q: The included command does not work for me. It just opens a Terminal and puts it in forever-looping.
A: That's maybe because you don't have test.mp3 which is hard coded in the Alarm.py . Missed to add it in the README.


well when i wrote this small alarm clock, I really didn't have any sort of architecture in place, i just started coding and here is what i have.
so there maybe some bugs.. but i am really happy that it is helpful so some 1.

Nice clock!

I'm just begining to learn python, and I think this is a good example to try to break and fix in my educational pursuit.
