I've been a user of Dabo for several years and I love it. I used to have various libraries I used that weren't Python 3-compatible, and Dabo was just one of them, so I figured I'd just let things work themselves out, but it's now come to the point where Dabo is basically the only thing holding me back from moving to Python 3.
Of course, really that means that wxPython is the only thing holding me back, because as I understand it Dabo is just waiting for wxPython to make the move to Python 3. However, lately I've started wondering whether that is ever going to happen, or whether by the time it happens it will be too late and everyone will have given up on wxPython already. It seems that originally there was the idea that Dabo could wrap various GUI toolkits, but that attention wound up focusing on wxPython because that was where there was momentum. Has there been any thought about trying to sidestep the wxPython bottleneck and make progress toward Python 3 by starting to add support for another toolkit (e.g., Qt or GTK)? I'm just wondering if people have a sense of how hard this would be and how useful it would be versus waiting around for wxPython. I adore Dabo and I dread the task of trying to write GUI apps without it, but it seems like unfortunately wxPython has not turned out to be the best choice in terms of forward momentum (which probably couldn't have been foreseen). Any ideas on this? Thanks, -- Brendan Barnwell "Do not follow where the path may lead.
