Nice set of widgets, however I think there are some things that could be changed to increase its appeal, based on the example overview anyways.
* The application is only referenced when it's created and destroyed. This magic is puzzling to me. * The application class uses the standard __init__ method for instance creation, but all of the widgets use a "make" method. Could the standard method be used instead? * The check box should probably be called CheckBox rather than Checker. Looks like a nice set of functionalities though; is there a way to hook into a custom event loop? — Daniel Foerster On Feb 26, 2017 11:47, "Yann Thorimbert" <yann.thorimb...@unige.ch> wrote: > Hello Irv, > > I wrote (and now maintain) a library called ThorPy (www.thorpy.org) that > could fulfill your requirements. > On the website, I focused on the examples and turoials, so I hope it would > be easier for a new person to use the library quickly.
