Hi,
I've write a huge biotech program ( an IDE for synthetic biology ), and am
slowly outgrowing TKINTER.
Has anybody out there merged a little bit of TCL direct calls from Python 3.X
to get more freedom then TKINTER for just some Windows ?
How about bold stories of successes ( yours, not mine ) on porting to stupid MS
Windows from linux ?
Adding threading makes TKinter hard ( but not impossible ) to manage. Also, a
little bit here and there obviously exceeds TKINTERs goals.
I wish it looked better, but its 'ok'. I believe X11 IO is considerably
superior for serious work the HTML. I mean 'serious' work. with lots of multi
media windows. I am not talking about fb "Oh ! There is a window it opened
inthe corner !"... trivial functionality.
Must be a uber expert out there. Is it you ?
As attached. and little code. Coloring text makes me realise; some of this is
pretty indirect, though this is quite well thought out, like all of TKINTER.
Regards,
Daniel B. Kolis
