Hi
I am halfway to a first release of a new GUI library for python. It
will be cross platform and follows the Swing philosophy of user
experience and interface fidelity above "but it doesn't look like
windows!" (aside: neither does office 2007 or windowsmediapla yer).
The library is built on top of CairoGraphics (cairographics. org) and
currently has a rather stable backend for Win32 and experimental
backends for GTK,Pyglet,pyga me.
I am also busy with an WYSIWYG designer ala visualstudio but have yet
to decide on an serializable format leaning towards xul-alike without
XBL.
You can see a screenshot here: http://infireal.com/external/gradripper.png
and a executable of a utility built using here: http://www.infireal.com/alpha
(generates cairo/svg gradients from images)
Please reply and let your thoughts be known. Is there a need for a new
GUI library for python? 4  1246

I think there's no real point in answering this question. You developed
a new toolkit because, I'm guessing, you are not fully satisfied by the
current ones. In my personal opinion there's no *need* for another
toolkit but there is *room* for one, two, hundreds of new toolkits.
That's what freedom is for.

Seems very promising.
But I'm afraid with the Swing-like interface, i.e : did you use the same
widget positionning ?

Not sure what you mean, but each parent widget is responsible for
rendering and positioning the children. Can use layout managers, two
currently absolute and simple flow. ( In the screenshot, the gradients
are in a flow panel)

I am also developing a gui toolkit (for somewhat similar reasons to you,
though unrelated to Swing) but it's for pyglet only. If you're interested,
you can find it in the pyglet SVN under contrib/wydget. It's under heavy
development and is fairly advanced (in terms of widgets, layouts, dialogs
etc implemented) already.

Clearly you felt there was :)

Hello.
I gladly learned yesterday that Microsoft was making the Visual C++
Toolkit 2003 available for free. Today, I downloaded and installed it
and went on to try building some simple applications. I quickly found
out that the toolkit does not come with the multi-threaded versions of
the runtime, such as the one I needed to build a bare-bone SDL sample.
Does anyone know why they have chosen to not include them and if there
is anything...

Hi there
I'm switching from VC++ 6.0 to VC++ .NET 2003. Since there is no stand-alone
version of VC++ .NET 2003 Pro, I went and purchased the Standard version,
which does not have an optimizing compiler.
I have been made aware of the existence of the VC++ Toolkit 2003:

I really appreciated that there was the Visual C++ 2003 Optimising Compiler
distributed for free in the 2003 Toolkit.
Will Microsoft continue with this toolkit? Or will it be mainly focused on
the 'Express' edition of Visual C++?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
