Version 0.1 Released

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) 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.
