why no RealPython yet?

[Ron Stephens]

Wow. Chris, I have heard great things about RealBasic. But I am a
Pythonista and committed to Kevin et al 's PythonCard. PythonCard is
really a great project! ;-)))

But I fear that the only missing piece to make PythonCard the greatest
programming environment of the entire Third Millennium is a really easy
to learn and use visual IDE-type envronment.

Wouldn't it be cool if you were to take on that part of the PythonCard
project, making sure to implement the RealBasic like functionality that
you crave, but leveraging it all on top of hte PythonCard developer's
hard work????

you may say I'm a dreamer...
but I'm not the only one

(i hope).;-)))))))

But I fear that
