How's it feel to be surrounded by one guy? :-D Dan (Interestingly enough, I've been back researching PythonCard again for a client who wants an OO solution in an app that has fairly minimal UI requirements and doesn't want to buy into the overhead of Java. What goes around) On Apr 12, 2005,

And the proof Dan, that this advertising works ... this is exactly how I came across rev in the first place! Furthermore (irony of ironies) ... I was using Pythoncard heavily at the time and wondering if there were any other Python GUIs out there when I stumbled across this very same advertisement

Apropos of almost nothing but nonetheless intriguing. I typed "python GUI application" into a search engine (A9.com, which uses google) today while doing some research for a client. Guess what the first sponsored link that came up was? Build your own gui applications, interfaces & more. Free

I suspect the answer to how to do all of this (other than whatIWantNotWhatISaid, which would be way cool, Jeanne!) lies in the OSA - Open Scripting Architecture. You can get a basic view of this at http://tinyurl.com/64hmu (I TinyURLed it because the true URL is 127 characters long). As far as

Anybody familiar with Ruby or WideStudio? Personnaly I use Eclipse + PyDev + Ant + wxDesigner for GUI (I am trying it currently) + wxPython (i.e. a wrapper for the wxWidgets as the multiplatform GUI). At first a bit more complex than Revolution or RealBasic IDE but opensource, much more reliable

I just remembered that HyperCard allowed scripting in AppleScript in its stacks and objects. Wouldn't it be nice if Rev also did that with Python? To further muddy the waters... While looking into other tools, I discovered Ruby, a language designed by a Japanese no less. And I found a IDE calle
