Re: RAD tutorials and tools for GUI development with Python?
Interesting link, but the focus there seems to be encoperating Python into Delphi apps in Windows. My focus is more getting Delphi like GUI building, but coding python on Linux. According to the web site http://mmm-experts.com/VersionHistory.aspx?ProductId=3 it supports Lazarus, which is a Delphi clone that runs on most platforms on Linux. I can vouch for Lazarus as a fine tool. I think I used WINE in the past successfully with Delphi apps with embedded Python on Linux. Delphi quality integrated GUI builders are not available to any dynamic language yet. But if you prefer a pure Python approach libglade and Qt Designer are the paths of least resistance for Linux currently. (I am adding this to the group.

RAD tutorials and tools for GUI development with Python?
Hey guys, I would really like to code a few more widely useable apps, but coding the GUI just seems so boring and unnecessarily complex. Maybe I was spoilt by Borland's Delphi/Kylix. But is there any way to do as little coding of the GUI as possible, and worry about the logic? The best I've seen is using one tool with a modification to output python code, which then has to be regenerated after any change to the GUI, which to me, kinda defeats the rapid in RAD. Thanks, advice would be much apperciated. If it helps to know, I am currently more interested in Python/Gtk (but not because I particularly like the look of Gtk) Arthur.-- As a boy I jumped through Windows, as a man I play with Penguins. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

They are in the process of developing exactly the sort of GUI design tools you are looking for. They're not 100% of the way there yet, as the project is basically two guys who do this in their free time (and apparently never sleep!). On the Documentation page of their site is a list of screencasts where you can see the GUI design tools in action. -- # p.d. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Much slicker than VB (the only previous RAD experience I'd had that I could actually do anythin in). - Michael -- mouse, n: a device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type. -- Fortune -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Anyway, it is not as easy as, say, Delphi. Indeed. The OP already indicates that he has experience with Delphi and is trying to apply to a domain that Delphi dominated (to those who knew it anyway) over a decade. The best solution then is not to do pure Python solution but to bring it in to supplement Delphi in areas that Delphi is not so good at. Python for Delphi is excellent. http://mmm-experts.com/Products.aspx?ProductId=3 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
