Yes, I can see that now. If you really want all the features something like Soya provides then I can see there would be motivation to get through early hassles. But if you don't, it's hard to know if the investment is worth it given you don't know everything it can do until you see it in action. I'm really seeing the value of video on the web these days, in terms of being able to give quick overviews of what things do to motivate you to explore it on your own and get past the early problems. Those web videos are sort of a substitute for the old way of seeing new things in action by looking over someone's shoulder at the computer lab. :-). I'm up to POC #13 with a cleanup of menu handling definable by the prototypes (mostly a cleanup over #12, really), http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/patapata/PataPata/proof_of_concept_013.py?view=markup and I'm thinking now I may still try to push forward with 2D a little more and hold off on 3D proof of concepts until I get a few more ideas or evaluations on good 3D crossplatform choices (thanks also go to Kirby). Probably the move will be driven more than anything by my repeated inability to get that darn wx flicker to go away under GNU/Linux! :-) Still, it might be an opportune moment to switch because I am starting to have to be concerned over text display and composite widgets, which is often more platform specific. --Paul Fernhout _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
