I" ve always felt that: 1) slavishly following MVC is pretty pointless 2) to the extent you do follow it, it's very application-specific, so I"ve never quite understood what an out-of-the-box MVC framework would look like. 3) You can certainly do it with wx. > I haven't used Qt much at all yet but QML looks extremely > interesting and pretty powerful. there is the XRC format, but when looking at it, it looks like it jsut makes things more complicated -- decoupling strictly GUI code and belongs-with-the-GUI code seems pointless to me. And I really like code-generated GUI layout. I suspect that that approach makes much more sense with C++ than Python. > This signal and slots in qt reminds me a > lot of the outlet actions in the iOS world as well which helps a lot at > keeping everything de-coupled. I haven't used signals and slots, but I agree that wx events are bit stifling. A number of folks recommend pubsub for a more de-coupled approach. > I've found an awful lot of bugs with wx over > the time I've been using it as well which has put me off somewhat, but > that's probably true for a lot of systems/frameworks of that size that you > get very familiar with and use a lot. Well, wx definately doesn't get as much attention on the Mac -- I've seen more issues there. Maybe QT gets more love -- what with KDE and all, it probably has a significantly larger user/developer base. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
