Jim Prior and I were discussing approaches to Python this
morning, and I mentioned a couple of 'dark corners' of which
he was unaware
1. 'git' has a GUI available (packaged separately on CentOS 7,
but part of the 'within the four corners of the base'
mainstream there nonetheless
2. And a conversion tool which includes Python code as a
target to emit: swig
from: rpm -qi swig
URL : http://swig.sourceforge.net/
Summary : Connects C/C++/Objective C to some high-level
programming languages
Description : Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator
(SWIG) is a software development tool for connecting C, C++
and Objective C programs with a variety of high-level
programming languages. SWIG is primarily used with Perl,
Python and Tcl/TK, but it has also been extended to Java,
Eiffel and Guile. SWIG is normally used to create high-level
interpreted programming environments, systems integration, and
as a tool for building user interfaces
3. and a separate -doc sub-package as well
I've been building Python user facing tool widgets for an 'all
three platforms' and report that the Tk based GUI tools work
'just fine' under Python 3
