Hi, I am not able to help out concerning GUI-Builders. However, it appears that the GUI-support you neeed is not getting too complex. Therefore, I would recommend to hand-code the GUI-parts using TKInter. Advantages: -It is there already. No need to install a separate GUI-Builder and lerning how to use it. Not too much thinking what needs to be installed on your user's workstation. -TKInter and TCL/TK are very stable. -TCL/TK is well documented. (Unfortunately one has to refer to the TCL/TK documentation because the TKInter documentation does not go very far.) -It is quite easy to learn. -It contains a file-browsing dialogue (resp. a wrapper around the one provided by your OS/Desktop-Environment.) You might have a start at the TKinter-Part of the library-reference. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-Tkinter.html You will have to spend some time on learning how to use TK, of course. However, I think that is a good investment rather than spending the time evaluating different GUI-Builders. The said is valid for less complex GUIs. For complex GUIs especially with huge amounts of entry-fields it is better to use a GUI-builder especially for later maintenance. Handcoded GUI-code might get nearly unreadable after it has been changed during the lifetime of a software (, and by different developers) Regards, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I looked at the "TryPython-Sites" and will have a look at crunchy, although I in fact was looking for something already hosted somewhere and ready to use. Nonetheless, crunchy looks very interesting in general. Thanks again, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Python live environment on web-site?
Hi all, I was wondering if there was a python-live-environment available on a public web-site similar to the ruby-live-tutorial on http://tryruby.hobix.com/ I would prefer something which allows to paste small scripts into a text-field, to run them on the server, and to be able to read the produced output of the script. I searched using google but didn't come across such a site. However, I imagine there must be at least one Thanks for any hint, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

However, I would give the following scheme a try. It helped myself a lot while debugging segfaulting modules plugged into a framework, for which I haven't had the source-code. It is done easyly and quickly. If it doesn't work you won't lose a lot of time: 1. At the earliest stage of your own C++-Code, code an infinite loop depending on a single variable. e.g.: int i=0; for(;i==0;); 2. When you start your test now and it does not segfault before your code is reached, the process will be stuck in this loop. 3. Attach gdb to the process using the --pid option. (Unfortunately I did this only on Unix with dbx. Hope it works on windows and gdb as well. 4. Look if you are now able to see your source in gdb. 5. Set a breakpoint immediately after the infinite loop. 6. Free the loop by setting the variable i to a value different from 0. 7. You should be able to single step now. I am not sure if this will work. But it might be worth a try. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Like Brad, I would recommend trying wxPyhton (http://www.wxpython.org/). There is an installer for Windows. Best is to look at the wxPython-Demo first thing. It contains a lot of example-code to borrow from. You can both read and try the code within the Demo-Application. However, the documentation of the class-library is for C++ only. You have to apply it to the python-version yourself. I prefer wxPython to TKInter because it offers more complex widgets namely Grids and Tabular-Lists right out of the box.
