Well, I am almost convinced that there should be an (optional) Scheme/Guile enabled WinCoot version. Will see when I can do it (I think most of it is in place already). Nevertheless (almost) all scheme functions have a python equivalent (and vice versa) so there shouldnt be too much of a problem in using python only. I agree that there is some more python examples on the WIKI page missing (on my -never ending- list already). In the mean time you can look at all the .py files in yourcootdirectory/share/coot/python, there is plenty of examples there. > About the underlying problem - the text in scheme widgets - is > that a missing > feature in the Windows scheme libraries or some weird bug? For the interested, its got to do with the gtk implementation of scheme which is not fully gtk2 compliant. Other systems dont seem to care too much but Windowze does. Hence almost all widgets which display text in some more complex manner wont show any text. I attempted to fix the gtk2 scheme source code to do so, but it seems hard. So I scheduled it for when my to-do-list has less than 2 items (hoping that there may be another solution available then anyway ;-) ).
