[Pythonmac-SIG] Writing a Stand Alone GUI program with the IDE

[Chris Barker]

Hi,

As the discussion has shown, there are people that would like to be able
to use the IDE to develop stand alone Python programs.

It was pointed out the Tk has a lot of other limitations on the Mac, but
I'd like to see any alteration of the IDE allow ANY gui toolkit.
Personally, I'm holding out for WxPython. It is a pretty nice framework.

By the way, is anyone putting any effort into improving the basic
interpreter window? If it worked well, I would be a lot happier working
without the IDE. When I use Python on Linux, I usually edit the code in
emacs, and run it in the interpretter. I end up using "execfile" a lot.

Specific things:   Command line recall and editing!!!
                   cut and paste to the command line.
                   I'd love to see readline and rlcompeter functioning
as well

-Chris
