Is there an easy-to-use, "function"-based cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python out there that's a little more sophisticated than EasyGui? EasyGui looks good, but it's a little more restrictive than what I'd like to have, yet I'm (stubbornly :-) ) resistant to stepping up to a "full service" GUI toolkit such as pyGTK or wxPython where it's all about event loops and callbacks and you need to start planning how the GUI affects the overall program flow rather than just using a "forms" (or "Wizard")-type approach where you put up a few dialogs, users fill in some variables, and your program just sits around waiting until "OK" or "Cancel" is clicked.
One approach that I like comes from SAX BASIC/WinWrap, which is more or less a clone of Microsoft's Visual BASIC for Applications, but they (apparently) wanted everything to still be human-readable, so they have a simple GUI ("form") builder that generates code that looks like this: --- Begin Dialog UserDialog 850,497,"Export Control" ' %GRID:10,7,1,1 GroupBox 20,7,360,217,"Drill File Generation",.GroupBox1 CheckBox 40,35,130,14,"Output drill file(s)",.genDrill Text 40,63,270,28,"Identify via layers as any that contain this text in their names:",.Text TextBox 40,98,220,21,.viaLayerName Text 40,140,100,14,"Output method:",.Text8 DropListBox 160,140,180,21,DrillStyle(),.drillStyle Text 40,175,130,28,"Select drill table units:",.Text2 ListBox 200,175,120,28,unitNames(),.unitName OKButton 310,469,90,21 CancelButton 410,469,90,21 End Dialog ' GUI builder generates or modifies everything above, but can also be edited by hand ' You write the following code... Dim dlg As UserDialog dlg.genDrill = 1 ReDim DrillStyle(1) DrillStyle(0) = "All Via Layers In One File" DrillStyle(1) = "One File Per Via Layer" dlg.drillStyle = 1 func=Dialog(dlg) --- This is pretty darned easy for me understand and modify either by hand or with the GUI builder. Still, it's quite powerful, since it supports all the common GUI elements (text, group boxes, checkboxes, drop-down lists, text boxes, buttons, etc.). This is about the level of sophistication I'm looking for. Anything like this for Python? Thanks, ---Joel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
