  Python + wxpython = cross-platform editor for POVRAY ? (Message 1 to 7 of 7)

Message: <3C51DBB0.20009@club-internet.fr>
I am currently learning to use the python script-language. I know that 
there are a few toolkits available freely to create GUIs ( with windows, 
buttons, drop-down windows,...) like wxpython, wpy. These toolkits can 
be used with nearly the same look-like feeling on different platform.

This is a novice question : Is it possible to write a cross-platform 
(Linux, windows, Mac) editor for POV using python and these tools ?

When I switch to Linux, I miss the usability of the windows version of 
POV (Hotkeys, the help.chm, the syntax highlighting,....).


I know that there is a POV-mode version for Emacs, but like many 
beginners under linux, it puts me off.

Nedit works fine but it needs some tweaking for the syntax highlights.

Going back to my question : it is feasible ?

Thanks

Hi there,

    Should be feasible. Theres a Gtk port for windows. So youre better off
using pygtk. I dont know about wxpython and what libraries it uses and
whether it will be possible to bring up gui interfaces in windows.

Anyway, its a BIG project though, atleast if I'm involved :-)

Regards,
Imran

just a comment:

what about anygui.sf.net
seems that it is more cross-platform NOW

Exerpt from the anygui platforms (backends) page:
W Bethon (BeOS native)
W Java Swing
W PythonWin/win32all
W PyGTK
W Tkinter
W wxPython
W PyQt
W Curses
W Plain Text
P Dynamic HTML
P PyFLTK
P = Planned, W = Working

Just my 0.02
Bye,
Pabs

I have browsing for the best toolkits available and the easiest one to 
port and AFAIK Tkinter is the winner ( with Tix).

It's now time to collect resources and tips and.... about it.

Thanks for the link but for the time being it's an alpha 3 version. Has 
someone around tried it ?
Maybe that's all nothing but prejudice.

Well, Python comes with IDLE, that could give you some ideas.
And an experimental development fork is here:
http://idlefork.sourceforge.net/

Also of interest could be "mxTextTools" at:
