That would be great! First thing I would recommend is to join the dabo-dev email list (https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev). It's free, and anyone involved in the development side of Dabo subscribes. We discuss everything there so that a) people know what is under development and b) it is more likely that someone may be able to help. I've cc'd the list on this reply. The 'dabo3' branch is fully Python 3, but some of the interactions between Dabo and wxPython are just not stable. I haven't had the time to investigate them very deeply. So what I'd recommend is to download Dabo, switch to the 'dabo3' branch, and try running either the DaboDemo code or some of the design tools in the ide directory. Then when something either crashes or doesn't work, you can start digging into the code to figure out why. And, of course, if you have any questions (you will!), post them to the dabo-dev list. -- Ed Leafe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/signed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/pgp-signature --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
