It doesn't have anything to do with confidence in one platform or
another. A fundamental design goal of Dabo has always been to be
cross-platform, and to that end, wxPython was far and away the best
choice for our initial UI toolkit.
But Windows is definitely your primary objective, which reflects your
confidence. :)
I don't know why you say that. I develop primarily on OS X; Paul
develops on Ubuntu. I have a Windows VM on my Mac that I use to make
sure that the Windows version looks right.
Python runs great on all of these platforms. I'm confident in Python.
Of course, wrapping a UI toolkit is not trivial. For Dabo, it
represents
about 70% of the time we've put into the entire project to date.
Remember how Foxpro 2.6 uses the form designer to generate codes?
Maybe
that's a better approach. You lay a form on the old form designer,
then
you generate html+javascript+css+xml to interact with the user over
the
browser... possibly would be more useful in the future. Web 2.0?
Sure, we could do that - and be just another latecomer to the Web
2.0 party. If that's what you want/need, there are plenty of products
out there that can already do all that.
