Re: [ASCEND] Check out the oldschool ASCEND tcl/tk interface with TkInter

Hi Mark

Apologies for the delay in my reply. I 'recently' removed that 
interval.c stuff from trunk as part of my attempt to clean up libascend 
and increase the test suite coverage, forgetting that it was used in the 
Tcl/Tk GUI. However rather than deleting the files, I moved them to the 
'disused/compiler' folder. I should perhaps copy them back from there 
back into trunk/ascend/compiler in order to preserve file history.

http://code.ascend4.org/ascend?view=revision&revision=3408

Regarding the Tcl/Tk GUI, that GUI still compiles/runs in trunk using 
regular Tcl/Tk (not TkInter), when building with SCons. Did you try that 
route? The starting point is the script tcltk/asc4dev, which will be 
built by SCons if all required dependencies are met.

It's very interesting that you were able to run the GUI via Python and 
TkInter, but I am wondering what you feel would be the benefit would be 
of maintaining such an approach, as opposed to the Python-free Tcl/Tk 
GUI that is currently built (although rarely testing, I have to admit, 
as evidenced by the missing interval.c file that you noticed).

Cheers
JP
