Sounded like something sensible to do: There are some commonly agreed most actively maintained python bindings for tla/baz -- so better use them (as a library) instead of having both python bindings _and_ GUI stuff in a GUI application. > I would like that to happen (actually, octopy was one the projects that > prompted the creation of pyarch in the first place), but I would not > encourage it. > > PyArch has gone obsolete, as my focus in now on Bazaar, and PyBaz itself > has little future. > > http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/PybazAndBzr > > If someone proposes improvements in pybaz, I will try to be more lenient > in the next monthes since long term maintainability goals are now > essentially void. Now it is getting tricky. For higher level user interfaces written in python (not necessarily GUIs), this is a bad situation: pyarch got obsoleted in favour of pybaz (for bazaar). pybaz will soon get obsoleted in favour of "bzr" (for bazaarNG). (Note how it's all bazaar's fault :) ) Hmm. When thinking about John's suggestion: Would it be wise to re-animate pyarch? Are there other python bindings for tla? Ones that are actively maintained? I think, for the near future, I'll stick to octopy's version of pyarch and change it if needed. As for baz, I might get away with a minimal amount of changes to the existing code by making the name of the tla executable configurable (and some command / parameter names that go with it as well). -Rene
