I'm curious about whether BuildApplet and PythonIDE will be included in the next iteration of MacPython, or whether these will be replaced by py2app and PyOxide. Although I know these are old technologies, especially BuildApplet, I'd like to request that they be retained, even if they're not updated or enhanced.
Just to give the party line on this:
- BuildApplet and PythonIDE will be with us as-is for the MacPython 2.4 series of releases. They may move into some dark corner when replacements are available, but they will be available.
- Like you (and has, if I understand him correctly) I think the minimal functionality BuildApplet provides has a place in the grand scheme of things. Bob is 100% right in all of his arguments (it doesn't work, it can't work, it won't work anywhere else, it'll only work in a very limited number of cases, etc etc etc), but BuildApplet has been with us for 10 years now and proven it's worth. And what it does was copied from "save as applet" in Apple's Script Editor (along with all the warts) and that is still going strong after 15 years. So if I have a say in things there'll be something as simple as BuildApplet for a long time to come:-)
