Re: [Tutor] Re: GUI module selection?

[Steve George]

Hi Lee,

You can currently use Pygtk on OSX as long as you use the Apple X
server.  The easiest way is through fink which has 2.4:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/search.php?summary=pygtk

There are efforts underway to port GTK+ to OSX natively by Hubert
Figuière, but he's only just started:

The best way to learn about Pygtk is through the list:

http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk

or http://www.pygtk.org

If your application is going to be mostly used from Linux then pygtk
is a good choice as it's bundled in with the majority of
distributions.  If it's cross-platform then WX is probably better as
they've focused on this area.  If it's Mac OSX then PyObj seems the
way to go.

Cheers,

Steve

Re: [Tutor] What is the best book to start? - Many Thanks!

[Steve George]

Hi Hoffman,

I'd suggest Dive into Python which you can also find it on-line.  The
printed version is here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D1590593561/002-9100626-6616001

The best book I know is Core Python by Wesley Chun.  But it only
covers 1.6 so quite a few things have changed since then.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130260363/qid=1112776154/sr=1-20/ref=sr_1_20/002-9100626-6616001?v=glance&s=books

Best of luck,

Steve
