3. Look at Pythoncard and see how a marriage between it and dabo
can be accomplished. I put this third as I don't think pythoncard
has aims to become a full IDE with a visual design tool. However,
if you want to rip something apart then this would seem a good
place to start for:
a) pythoncard takes the approach of making simple things that work
and growing from there.
2) They have a pretty neat visual design tool. Sizers is, I
believe, a weakness.
3) The one thing it lacks is a code generator in the guise of
Delphi or VB.
I suspect pythoncard has been rejected by the dabo team as it is
firmly fixed in wxPython roots and dabo has plans to be not be so.
That's not it at all. If someone gave me a tool that could
create Dabo UI classes, I wouldn't care what it was written in!
The main incompatibility with PythonCard is its lack of support
(current or planned) for sizers. We spoke with Kevin Altis at the
last PyCon, and his goal is to make it easy to create a simple UI,
not to make create a tool that would be able to create the sorts of
complex forms that we envision. And when you work cross-platform,
sizers are essential - without them your carefully arranged layout on
platform X looks slightly out-of-whack on platform Y, and completely
wrong on platform Z.
