IronPython, being a .NET language, has access to the .NET GUIs, which means either Windows Forms or the incredibly powerful Windows Presentation Framework. However, if I may be allowed to express an opinion, if you're going to play in that world, you are swimming upstream unless you write in C#. Otherwise, you end up spending most of your time translating C# concepts into Python. This can also be done from Cpython using the pywin extensions. Here, you are correct. Pywin32 does include a Python implementation of MFC. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
simple GUI for my application?
Hi, I'm really struggling to find the best GUI to make a simple application. I'm doing a program to load all the ini files in the current folder, or the folder that the user chooses and list the specifics entries in it. So, the program would be like this: Som tabs here like: ( Load | Edit | Options) In the [ Load ] tab: A folder tree in the left, and two labels or edit boxes showing some specific entries in the ini file. In the [ Edit ] tab: really straight-forward, Edit boxes of the entries so the user can edit in the [ options ] tab: More edits to specifie the default folder, etc. Basically I will use a lot of edit boxes and some tabs, and a folder tree, any tips so I can search in the right place? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

They also have a very helpful mailing list. However, you should try the various toolkits and see which one makes the most sense to you. When I was first looking at GUIs, I tried Tkinter first. But it just couldn't replicate the stupid UIs I needed to reimplement, so I went with wxPython. I've heard good things about pyQT. If you want the ultimate look-and-feel for Windows, you should go with IronPython. - Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This can also be done from Cpython using the pywin extensions. That is true...I was just referring to IronPython's ability to hook a GUI created using Visual Studio easily. Going about it through pywin and ctypes is probably above the OP's current needs...although I think Greg Ewing's pyGUI wraps that stuff. I suppose the OP might find that useful: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python_gui/ - Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
