I have been playing around with tk/tcl over the last week at various times.
It seems to work quite well. I have loaded on a variety of demo type programs to see what works and what doesn't. I have also run some programs for a day or so to see what happens on long-running tasks. So far it seems quite good. One big issue is that the programs don't run as WM apps. This is a problem. I do need them to run like standard WM apps. One of the other things I wanted was signature capture. But I have had problems using the stylus with the canvas. This may well be because I have no real idea how tk/tcl works. And what I need to change to get the mouse movements and the draw working. The basic python port seems really good. I have been running tests with sockets and threads to talk to a simple twisted server and so far without making it too complicated it has all hung together, I imagine that the port for python without the WM gui support will slow down take-up. I see that someone was starting to look at Venster for CE, but I haven't heard any more. That seems like it might be a lot of work. I did take a quick look at wxpyce, but got the problem of not enough memory, so I backed off for the moment. I'm now wondering what my best next move might be. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
