PyGUI 2.1 is available: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python_gui/ Highlights of this version: * Win32: Fixed bug preventing PyGUI apps from working under pythonw Fixed incorrect mouse coordinates in ScrollableView Added more standard cursors * MacOSX: Application menu now has working Hide, Hide Others and Show All commands. Plus a few other bug fixes and improvements. What is PyGUI? -------------- PyGUI is a cross-platform GUI toolkit designed to be lightweight and have a highly Pythonic API. -- Gregory Ewing gre...@ca... http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/ |

I (as the PyObjC maintainer) don't mind these announcements on the pyobjc list. Ronald |

It's probably a good idea for ongoing discussion, though. Any suggestions on the best way of going about it? I could start a Google Group, but I'd prefer a real mailing list server if possible. -- Greg |

Often new version announcements (like the one Greg just sent) are cross posted to related groups. The traffic is not heavy and the service useful. As for ongoing discussions (good idea!), I would suggest http://www.python.org/community/lists/ from which I quote: To request a new list, send e-mail to postmaster @ python.org That's where the pywin32 group lives, and it works rather well. -- Vernon Cole On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 3:31 PM, Greg Ewing <gre...@ca...> wrote: > > John Finlay wrote: > >> Start your own list for the community that is interested in your project. > > That's not going to reach anyone who doesn't already > know about it. > > It's probably a good idea for ongoing discussion, > though.

It's already possible to run pygtk programs on all three platforms, if you're willing to install the required libraries. API compatibility with pygtk (or any other gui library) is not one of PyGUI's goals. > What are you wrapping in Win32? Windows API directly? Currently it uses the MFC layer of pywin32. I hope eventually to replace that with raw win32 via ctypes. > Anyway seems a good project, although it will be better have a pygtk > cross platform :) That's a matter of opinion. One of the major goals of PyGUI is to provide an API that doesn't suck. The pygtk API doesn't meet that requirement, IMO. -- Greg |

I posted the announcement to the pyobjc, pygtk and pywin32 lists because PyGUI uses all of those libraries, and because I don't know of any single mailing list where people interested in Python GUIs in general can be found. However, if the consensus is that PyGUI announcements are not welcome on those lists, I will be happy to cease posting them there. What is the general feeling out there? Should I stop posting PyGUI messages to these lists? Is there another GUI-related list that would be more appropriate? -- Greg |

I'm on both pyobjc and pywin32 lists, and I think PyGUI announcements are appropriate. -- Aahz (aa...@py...) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.

Greg, Given that your project uses PyObjC, I certainly don't mind hearing about its progress on the pyobjc-dev list. -Barry On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 1:17 PM, Greg Ewing <gre...@ca...> wrote: > John Finlay wrote: >> Greg, >> >> Why do you post to mailing lists that are unrelated to your project?
