I am just getting started using Python. Read the programming python book
|
|
and much of the docs. I am investigating using python for both a univeristy
|
|
research project and a commercial project. One of the issues is a cross
|
|
platform GUI
|
|
(linux,windows, mac) Looks like Tk is the likely candidate.
|
|
|
|
I am impressed with the clean design of the Python language and can see a
|
|
lot of potential for its use. I run a large research program at the
|
|
University and I think we could seriously contribute to the Python
|
|
community. However I need help understanding more about how well the Python
|
|
open source support works.
|
|
|
|
So far everything we have done is C (Unix Linux Windows VxWorks Qnx) In
|
|
fact the QNX port for Python makes it something we can use for our
|
|
autonomous underwater vehicles.

Questions:
|
|
|
|
Is there complete documentation for Tkinter someplace? ( I have read the
|
|
html pages on pkware's web site its good but not complete)
|
|
|
|
I found a lot of detail in a Tk book that is not apparent in the Tkinter
|
|
docs ("Practical programming in Tcl and Tk). Is all of Tk supported ( I
|
|
assume so but its not clear how or if Tkinter does some things)
|
|
|
|
How extensive is the group of people supporting Tkinter? Is there a
|
|
committment to continue to support Tk as the default GUI for Python like
|
|
it is for TCL and Perl?
|
|
|
|
I see references to several different Python applications that must use a
|
|
GUI. How prevalent is Tkinter usage?
