Re: [Pythoncard-users] Python card installation problem windows 7

[Mariano R. <rei...@gm...>]

Hi Alec:

I think that's the beauty of free / open software, PythonCard will be
alive in part inside gui2py, as it not only keeps the project
structure and vision, also there are a lot of source code used as a
base.
You can see the readme and the comments in the __init__.py files and commits:

https://code.google.com/p/gui2py/source/browse/readme.txt

It's true that some issues like the one reported could be fixeable,
but in the long run there are a lot of thing to take into
consideration, for example component model modernization using new
Python features like meta-clasesses (django's style), python 3 and
wxPython Phoenix compatibility, advanced Model-View-Controller
widgets, etc.

Also, IMHO the PythonCard tools are a bit outdated, you can compare
them with the visual designer and propery editor of gui2py, sometimes
a restart on some parts could be desriable to take advantage of new
Python / wxPython features:

It was a lot of work to update and fix PythonCard, in my case the
outcome is gui2py, anyone is welcome to collaborate and/or send
suggestions ;-)
