Hi all, In addition to putting together some updates for the official MacPython documentation (still in progress, but to be submitted to the tracker soon), I also want to do some updates to the MacPython wiki, now hosted at http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython. An area of particular interest is the list of Mac applications that are built with Python, or integrate Python in some significant way:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython/MacSoftwareUsingPython The list has been updated by a couple of folks recently, but I don't believe this is the entire list of Python applications available. My criteria for adding an app is as follows: the app is written in Python or makes extensive use of Python as a scripting language, it is Mac-only or has a dedicated, supported Mac-native/Aqua build (i.e. bundled with py2app, distributed in a DMG, has a standard Mac icon, etc.), and are under current development (a lot of the apps currently listed at the wiki do not appear have been updated for a long time, or at least the listings haven't). Note that I don't want to limit the list to PyObjC apps--wxPython, PyQt, and Tkinter applications should also be listed if they fit these criteria. Here are a few I think should be added: Brian Lenihan's port of PySol to OS X--now hosted (according to his webpage) at http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net/. I gather that Brian's work has been merged into a full-blown, cross-platform project that is a fork of PySol. The new version of PySol makes use of new Tk libraries (Tile) that greatly improve the look and feel under Aqua. Russell Owen's TUI (http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/35m_operations/TUI/), a Tkinter GUI for the APO 3.5m telescope. Goombah by Emergent Software, a PyObjC commercial application that integrates with iTunes. http://www.gombah.com. I see one application I already knew about, Checkout, has already been added; another, Find It!, is new to me. I'll be adding one of my own applications written in Python/Tkinter as well. If anyone can think of other apps to add to this list, I would appreciate it--I'll handle actually adding them to the wiki since most folks don't have time to do that. Again, this list should include PyObjC apps, and wxPython, Tk, and PyQt apps with dedicated Mac builds/versions. Also, if anyone could let me know the current status of any of these applications, I would appreciate it: Drawbot (is it current?) RegExPlor RestEdit TomatoTorrent: Looks current, but what's the difference between this and BitTorrent? Isn't there an official Mac build written with one of the standard Mac GUI toolkits? (Sorry, not a BitTorrent user) FontLab Thanks! -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
