Re: [pyGEF-develop] Some python tech: zope.interface and enthoughTraits

[<pyg...@li...>]

Hi=20

Thanks for the info. Really great news.=20
I had just started designing a messaging system, I just couldn't =
continue without one anymore. Now I can just use traits.

Spent the last couple of days reading manuals and playing with Traits.=20
So far I have only read the Traits UI manual as I am having some trouble =
getting Traits UI to work with wx 2.8.=20
Very impressive.

I have previously looked at Zope interfaces, but I think Traits is much =
better suited to what we want to do.=20

I have been playing with the older version of traits. I'm just busy =
changing my python to 2.5 and decided to change back to MS Visual Studio =
2003 as I really struggle to compile python packages with 2005/gcc and =
not all packages come precompiled for 2.5.=20
Long story short, I've got a bit of installation to do. Then I can play =
with Traits UI and interfaces.=20

What is the easiest way of getting Enthought ETS installed on py 2.5?

I have made a few changes and bug fixes to pyGEF again, but saw that I =
broke the creation of connections. This is at the app level though, i.e. =
not the fault of the framework.=20

I still have to figure a few things out with the SelectionManager. We =
should talk a bit about this. First I'm reading up on how the other GEFs =
did this.

Also added side panels for ControlsView and LayerManagerView (to make =
debugging easier), but they don't contain anything yet as I first want =
to convert, as much as I can, to make use of Traits and interfaces =
instead. It will just make things easier and I can then clean up a few =
things as well.=20
