Dear All, It is my pleasure to announce the release 1.3 of Guis, which is a programmable graphical user interface widget "server". Guis communicate with a (one) client application thru textual communication channels; input requests (from application to guis) are Python (or Ruby) instructions (using the PyGTK binding of GTK2 to Python or the ruby-gnome2 binding of GTK2 to Ruby) and output replies (or events) are arbitrary textual lines from Guis to application (sent by Python or Ruby script). There is a possibility to trace the exchanges between application & guis (in a graphical window) Guis is therefore a programmable (in Python or in Ruby) GTK2 widget server. The GTK related code of Guis can easily be ported to any embeddable scripting language offering a GTK2 binding. Guis is opensource, under GNU General Public License, developped under Linux. See http://www.starynkevitch.net/Basile/guisdoc.html for documentation on Guis, and also http://freshmeat.net/projects/guis and download source code (with demo) from http://www.starynkevitch.net/Basile/guis-1.3.tar.gz (a 482780 byte gzipped tar file of md5sum 70993058c397b04ff9b3030f0eda475c) There are actually 2 binaries: pyguis is Guis for Python2.2 and ruguis is Guis for Ruby1.8 Guis is developed under Linux and should run on most Posix systems with GTK2. Comments, suggestions and patches are welcome! Changes to this release: minor bugfixes, and (mostly) an experimental Ruby version. -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net aliases: basile<at>tunes<dot>org = bstarynk<at>nerim<dot>net 8, rue de la Faïencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
