At povray.binaries.utilities you will find my latest version of a Python 
script that displays a GUI (a la windows) to edit, render,....POV scenes.

As always, should you like it or comment it, the agency......
In short, comments are welcomed.

How does it handle extra ini and inc files not in the primary inc dir?

? What do you mean ?
To add a new dir for include files, you just have to use indicate the path in
the parameters line or in the primary ini file.
I hope I understood you question right.

Well if you just open the demo files from the POV dir with your editor 
some, that have their own .inc will not render.

Should you add (as a default in your editor) the dir of the .pov file to 
the include path passed to the renderer, so that any extra .inc that may be 
there are found?

The radiosity example for pov 3.1g is one that can't run "out of the box" 
from your editor.

Otherwise, great job and thanks for writing the editor.

Ok ! I see. I'll fix it.

Thanks

I have now installed python 2.2.1 and have tried your program, a few 
comments:

I got as far as pressing the render button before it realised that 
  it was pointing at a pov executable that didn't exist, it may be 
  an idea to check this when you open pyvon and allert the user if
  the executable doesn't exist, you could also do this for 
  directories listed in pyvon.ini too. 

On the first run of the program there was a command line box visible
  at the bottom of the screen, along with some other useful information,
  on subsequent invocations this line does not appear. 

I'd really like to be able to change those editr colours via some menu 
  options, I hate working on a white background. 

I'd say your program is working well at this stage, and would encourage 
you to keep up the good work, this will be a very useful tool for people
who are new to Linux.  I'll be watching further developments with 
interest, but you'll never get me to use anything other than emacs for 
my own work in POV-Ray.

Ok I'll add a warning message if there is no executable is found where 
the pyvon.ini tells there is one

You mean the command line parameters ?
I don't see why it should disappear while the other windows are still 
there. Do you have an error to the console when you start pyvon ?

Ok, I'll work on it.

Ok, I am working on making you change your mind too.
By the way. I have always wondered what is so great about emacs.
  - There are a trillion cascade menus -> You never know where to look 
at the first (and tenth) try. The interface is way too confused
  - I always get \r (return line) at the end of my lines.
  - The open file dialog is unuseful
I have many other grievances that I forget at the moment, but I know why
  I started pyvon : Because I found that emacs was too complicated to 
edit script efficiently.

I guess that I'll get flames from the emacs afficionados now.



Thanks a lot for the comments and ideas

Fabien
