What is a good working environment?
All of what Bob did for us is nice for exploring changes in 2.4 but is still too much of a WIP. I (as many of you) need to get on with some development work though and was wondering what basis to work from.
Mostly what I will be doing is prototyping components of larger systems (and then maybe convincing them they can't do it any better than with Python :)), and multimedia presentations (beyond Director) that include animation (2d and 3D) and reinforcing gaming (word puzzels, image puzzles, and combinations).
What I want to do for myself I'm content with doing only for Mac OS X (10.3.8+) and may deliver some via the web. However, what little I do for corporate clients anymore (don't want to get bogged down in work work) they still seem to want for MS Windows :( dislike that platform).
Anyway, since all the components aren't there yet for Python 2.4 (and what are seem to be less than production quality), I'm assuming that at least 2.3 is solid enough (relatively speaking :). At least all the components are there (with the caveat of what was recently discussed regarding overall coordination and quality control). I'm also assuming that with the state of Python, Tiger will probably not go beyond 2.3 (not asking you to make any frowned upon predictions).
So to look as well as possible on the Mac I should use what graphics components? Then for MS Windows candidates (cross-platform) I should use wxPython for graphics components? I *have* been perusing the components list (http://pythonmac.org/packages/) and brief descriptions, but only a limited amount of the detailed documentation so far. One point about the component list - I should use only the component versions flagged for py2.3 if such is to be my production platform? (Dumb questions sometimes yield surprising answers)
Another very novice question - for the MS Windows executables do I need to transfer my script packages to my clunky old PC and construct such there, or can py2exe construct such on my Mac?
Thank you for your thoughts, Lee C
