The vp2py mailing list for users of the software is now up and running.
Since there is not much else to say right now, here is the announcement
of the version 0.1 release ...
Version 0.1 of vb2py has been released.
What is vb2py?
==============
vb2py is a toolkit to aid in the conversion of Visual Basic projects to
Python (using PythonCard). The conversion will eventually include both
forms and code (modules and classes). Version 0.1 is mainly a form
layout converter to PythonCard with a very simplistic code translation.
The project roadmap ( <http://vb2py.sourceforge.net/roadmap.htm>
http://vb2py.sourceforge.net/roadmap.htm) shows the
project's development timeline.
Converting VB to Python turns your VB projects into cross platform
developments and allows full access to all Python's extensive library of
modules.
