I start my projects off with dabo/ide/wizards/AppWizard/appWizard.py. It gives a starting structure for a standard CRUD app with generated code for you to organize as you see fit. I edit my forms in code, using vim. I've seen great demos of the class designer in action, too. > I also noted the lack of documentation - well documentation close to > hand (e.g. F1, help wxGrid). wxGrid is in the wxpython layer, so you'd want their documentation, but for e.g. dabo's dGrid, the documentation is here: http://docs.dabodev.com/dabo.ui.uiwx.dGrid.dGrid.html > I'll be honest though, all the examples and peripheral information gives > you a distinct impression that the framework is designed to create a > data source then build a GUI to access this data source, not to be used > as 'programming language'. The programming language is Python. How you create your data is up to you. Use Dabo to create your bizobjs and GUI. > Yes, the objects and modules can be borrowed > from the framework and mingled with python and wxpython code but this > hybridization is something learned through trial and error but not > actually documented anywhere. Dabo's UI is just a layer above wxPython's UI. So if needed you can delve down into wxPython but in practice I never need to do this.
