I suppose they exist, but as I say, I've not run into one yet. I suspect having said that I shall be given a list. <g> AFA the actual coding in Python I've not tried it and presently have no need to do so.
I've written a small wxPython cross-platform app. It's called VueToolbar and it's toolbar plugin manager along with a number of python scripts which works for e-on software's 3D program, Vue. Thank heavens I don't have to make a living writing wxPython. I, agree, I couldn't find any slick examples of commercial grade quality apps written in wxPython either. Which really is an interesting way of evaluating something. Instead of 'reading the cover', read the book. When I look to purchase a 3D application, I typically look at the work it has created first. If there's nothing good, then I typically move on. Not to say Open Source hasn't created some fine stuff-- including this browser I am currently using. I, personally, also tend to weigh what is said, by who said it. A person who shouts from the ground instructions on how best to climb a tree, IMO, is less vested in not falling than a person at the top of the tree. It's just human nature. Who's advice regarding tree-climbing would you take? -Chipp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
