Re: [Tutor] Re: GUI module selection?

2005-04-13 Thread 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

 I'm trying to narrow down the detailed trials I need to go through in
 selecting basic GUI module approaches (just getting started in this
 Python playground - dev platform Mac OS X).
 
 Maybe these old eyes are just missing it, but I can't seem to satisfy
 my curiosity on the following:
 
 1)  Use of GTK+, PyGTK and Gazpacho with Python 2.4 in general
 
 2)  GTK+, PyGTK and Gazpacho binaries for Mac OS X in general and more
 specifically for MacPython 2.4.1
 
 3)  wxPython vs GTK+ (vs Tkinter?) as a starting point for developing
 multimedia apps (for building sophisticated multimedia presentations)
 potentially for cross platform (and pyObjC for Mac only)  -
 opinions/pointers anyone or maybe *another* better course?
 
 Thanks,
 Lee C

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

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=glances=books

Best of luck,

Steve
