Desktop apps don't seem to be the wave of the future, but they still serve a useful purpose today. They can be ideal for a quick database table management screen, or a data entry front end for a program with a bunch of parameters. It's not easy enough to build a quick utility with a GUI front end, though. Wax and PythonCard (and maybe others) tried to hit that niche, but development on both is spotty at best. Some claim that Dabo's gui builder is a good one for this purpose, and maybe it can be. Are there any other, better solutions?
I've been looking at Rebol lately, and it has some points of interest. I much prefer Python as a language, but Rebol View's layout specifications are wonderfully concise, and the support code seems to be fairly straightforward as well. Has anyone tried to mimic their approach in Python? -- rzed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
