i have been writing in pygtk for over a year, but now i have a new
challenge. i need to write a gui app for windows. This will be an admin form
that will allow a distributer to update a database. Well, we have three
distributors, none have any experience in linux, so i need to write this for
windows.
My question is, can this be done ? will a pygtk app run on windows if they
install gtk libs and python ? if so, are there any gotchas i might need to
be aware of ? lastly, is this going to be a major ordeal ? i have most of
the code written for linux, and could translate easier than start from
scratch. But, if it is going to be too big a hassle, i suppose i could avail
myself to learn wxWidgets .
any advice out there ?
thanks
shawn
I used PyGtk in Windows since the beginning of the 2006. It is perfect for
my goal and the GUIs written in Windows are ok also in Linux.
With PyGtk I use Glade for building GUI without writing code. Glade 3 if a
bit slower than Glade 2, but it is a good tools to make fast the
development.
PyGtk, like Python, is multi-platform and in my situation it is all ok.
To use it, you must download Gtk libraries here
http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/news/ and the three PyGtk
libraries for Windows here http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html.
