Some of you may remember that for a while I have been working on making a Mac port of basic builder. Id sort of put it on the back burner for a while so I can finish some other projects and learn more Python (the backend of BasicBuilder is written in Python).

Now that Ive had a chance to hone my Python skills working on gCn Im resuming work on it, and that's the only project I will be working for the next week or so while Kerm works on the gCn calc-comp protocol.

It wont be open source (due to an agreement I made with Martin Warmer), but it will be more be easier to use, and a little more reliable, and I will actually be using one of the built-in features that never made it into the BasicBuilder 2.0 exe.

I will also be releasing a new version for windows as well, and possibly Linux if I can get access to a Linux box

for the linux version, just release the .pyc file (the pyc is the byte compiled version, kinda like the java .class's, and is not the source file)

i forgot the python command to make the .pyc version, though, sorry (but i'm sure you can figure it out no problem )

Sounds cool, elfprince, that's a very useful thing for you to do.

Google =



thanks.

actually i was thinking "python --help" - but whatever

here's a screeny of what I've gotten done on the front end so far (without using wxGlade or PythonCard)




as mentioned above Im using Martin's existing backend.

buttons = ick.

would you be willing to design some customs for me?
If you are I need some for the following tasks:

Back
Forward
Finish
Cancel
Add
Load Ini
Save Ini

i didn't really do this for gCn2 Python Client (unfortunately), but you really should use the built in ID's for common buttons. Example, for the OK button, use wx.ID_OK - wxWidgets will then automatically map it to the native options (for example, in GTK the OK buttons have a green RETURN arrow; and in most OS's the ENTER key is a shortcut for the OK button)

do you know what buttons this works for?

Sure, I'll do whatever isn't native.

I think you can have any button image for the native ones as long as the ID is correct.

Note: This [usually] does NOT add any icons, text, styleing or such to the button, but instead just dictates extra behaviors (example: wx.ID_CANCEL button will be linked to the ESC key)

EDIT:
this should explain it better than i can: http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.2/wx_eventhandlingoverview.html#windowids

Cool, thanks for the link.

its for the "real" C++ version of wxWidgets, so just replace wxSOMETHING with wx.SOMETHING for the python one

or just use import wxPython instead of import wx....

sry about the double post...

heres the current demo...two more pages plus the buttons. then the real work begins. I just switched over to BoaConstructor which is awesome

Lookin' good so far.

thanks, and thanks to kllrnohj for all the help with finding a RAD for wxPython.

then it would be wxPython.SOMETHING instead of wx.SOMETHING
