I am a teacher and have written this little Python/Tkinter application
to help me with my report writing:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/squawk/
It's released under GPL and was quite fun to write.
However, currently the application only allows for 15 statements to be
managed. Increasing it to 25 would be easy. But I'm not sure how I
would manage the widget to present 100 or organise the statements
according to subjects.
Can anyone have a look at the code - perhaps run it and if possible
suggest a way of implementing many more statements? Tabbed frames
would be a good way forward (where each tab is a school subject) but
under Tkinter they don't appear to be that easy.
You can do tabbed frames in Tkinter. They take a little bit of coding, but to get right, but it is certainly something to think about. You might want to look into PMW (Python MegaWidgets) which is a Tkinter library. Myself, I had always prefered to write things in Tkinter, but a lot of people like the widget set in PMW.
As for scaling the statements you have, you might want to think about putting the Label/Entry/Button widgets in a Frame with a Scrollbar widget. Then you can add as many as you like and the user can scroll down to the 200th statement. (I'm assuming that the user fills out each statement one by one, ugh!) Incidently, this Frame would be the same frame used for the tabbing, I would expect.
