Hi Everyone,

I am sort of a new developer to python and working in an academic
environment. I climbed the learning curve on wxPython far enough to get
the functionality I want out of it so far... Now Im in need of a
diagramming library (something visio-like) to use for my software and
the only option I have seen is OGL. Yet I read that OGL is dead, no
longer maintained, obsucure and lacking documentation. Instead of
taking a leap of faith and walking off a cliff, Ide appreciate if some
people out there who have come across a similar problem have any
solutions or suggestions for me...

Well OGL still works as far as I know. Check out also pyxel. It hasn't been updated in almost a year though: http://bellsouthpwp.net/p/r/prochak/pyxel.html


I am so disappointed at the moment I think Im about ready to throw in
the towel and crawl back to java. I love python, but it has some real
difficulties when it comes to making library choices on what _to_ and
_not to_ get yourself into.

Python baby, you broke my heart :)

You can still use python in java, see jython.
There is a similar tool that works in Java or .NET called Piccolo:

I'm using it with boo, a python-like language for .NET and Mono: http://boo.codehaus.org/ but you can also use it with IronPython or Jython. On the Linux side, see DiaCanvas (can use from CPython with pygtk) and DiaCanvas-Sharp (can use from boo or ironpython):
