Vote for Windowing Toolkit to use for Fat Client
Chris, If you are going to use wxPython, check out wxDesigner. (http://www.roebling.de). It's not free and it's not Open Source, but it's only $US89 and it can act as a decent RAD tool. It can build a lot of your app's GUI framework. I have not used wxDesigner a lot yet, but I bought the BlackAdder personal use (beta) package. Largely a waste of money. It's debugger is nearly useless and BA crashes constantly. It's aspect as an extension of QT designer is interesting, and it bears watching to see if it improves when they bring out the real thing. Wing IDE is nice for debugging. Wing comes with source, it's just not Open Source. I think a combo of wxDesigner and Wing would be nice (and it's what I am planning to use myself till something better comes along.)

Thanks Jeff, I've passed the info on to Andy :-)

Well, I haven't heard anything good about this yet :-S

Wierd huh? The same is ture for the game "Severance - Blade of Darkness", which looks to be mostly written in Python, which I was reall impressed with :-)

Well, do jump in with your thoughts when the mailing list is available :-) cheers, Chris

Unfortunately Wing doesn't work with ZEO because it has to force single threading (or because of how it forces it). I filed a bug report on this back in March -- they basically said that they wanted to fix it but it was hard and they were hoping for help from DC.
I'm not sure this matters when building a GUI, though..... Jeff

IMHO, it does matter because there are (many) times when it is very useful to us management and debugging tools on a production server. One of the real advantages of ZEO is that you can do almost anything of that nature in a new ZEO client without disturbing the other clients. --On Wednesday, May 23, 2001 11:23:47 AM -0400 Jeff Sasmor <jeff@janix.com> wrote:
