Right on! This is exactly what I've been feeling. I've worked with raw wxPython for several years because that was the only way to do a desktop app, PythonCard was nice, but you still had to deal with wxPython's ugly code. Wax looked good, but I never felt that Hans really had his heart in it. Dabo, though, is the first and only thing that I've found that has focussed on desktop apps that can be written using Pythonic code. -- # p.d. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
