Zope + XML-RPC + native GUI
Has anyone developed an application using a native GUI Frontend to Zope? I had this idea some time ago and found an interessting example from Amos Latteier. He uses xml-rpc and WxPython. I like it a lot, played with it this weekend. Has someone seen other projects using Zope and a native GUI? thomas
Have a look at boa-constructor... Search for it from www.sourceforge.net. It's a complete IDE for wxPython, and you can make most of your DTMLing from there. I dunno if it uses XML-RPC There is a Zope fat client somewhere else in sourceforge too but I didn't succeed with it. --Gilles ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Guettler" <zopestoller@thomas-guettler.de> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 5:36 PM Subject: [Zope] Zope + XML-RPC + native GUI

Yes, it does. The "native" Zope mode (there are also options for Zope via FTP) calls Zope objects directly over XML-RPC and exposes properties etc. for editing. Really cool. But still a bit unstable (better than many commercial tools though) ... Joachim
boa-constructor is a little unusable to me due to bugs of wxPython: - change of wxPython API: I can't use the latest wxPython because the keyboard shortcut handling recent change. - I can't type chars like "[ ( # { " in a wxTextCtrl (based on Scintilla) widget with a french keyboard. As most python script and lots of DTML require these chars... This is true for boa-constructor as well as with my personal apps. What a shame. I'm sure it will be the best Zope IDE when stable. --Gilles ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joachim Werner" <joe@iuveno-net.de> To: "Gilles Lenfant" <glenfant@bigfoot.com>; "Thomas Guettler" <zopestoller@thomas-guettler.de>; <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 9:56 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope + XML-RPC + native GUI

ZMC (Zope Membership Component) has an optional PyGTK/PyGNOME interface for managing users, it uses XML-RPC. When I can get SOAP support in Zope, I'll convert it to SOAP. -- Bill Anderson Linux in Boise Club http://www.libc.org Amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.
