Hi all, I'd like to have some advices about how to implement a program that has the following requirements: - it must run both on linux and windows PC - it must interact with an electronic device connected to the PC through serial cable by sending/receiving some command strings and taking different actions depending on device responses; these strings and actions must be described in a text file (a sort of script) editable by user with a simple text editor; the language used to described this algorithm should be as simple as possible - initially the program must be written in the form of simple command line tool that is invoked like this: program <script_file.txt> - in the future, it must be possible to develop a graphical frontend on top of it; the resulting look&feel should be similar on linux and windows.
In this mailing list I was adviced to use python: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/37939 As I never used python, I ask you: 1) about the script file, which language - for which a parsing engine is already available in python - do you suggest? 2) about the graphical frontend, which graphical libraries do you recommend?
