[Tutor] Pmw question

[andy surany]

Yes, that is what my extract looks like.

I have been using Tkinter for the last few months - and found it
adequate. You can do almost everything with it - though you may have =
to
write a good deal more code than you would like. I am now moving to t=
he
next level in the development of my UI: plotting and charting. I trie=
d
hooking programs like PythonPlot - and while it works, it does not of=
fer
much in the way of flexibility. So I'm turning to Pmw in the hopes th=
at
maybe I can use some "pre fab" capabilities. Depending on what I find=
, I
may turn to something like reportlab - but I have high hopes that I'l=
l
be able to use the capabilities within Pmw.

BTW, if anyone could recommend an "enhanced" PythonPlot, I would
certainly appreciate it......

Andy

Ok, I suppose "extract" was the word you were loking for.
In that case, yes.

With the current version of Pmw you should end up with the
following new directories under site-packages.

---Pmw
    +---Alpha_99_9_example
    =A6   +---lib
    +---Pmw_1_1
        +---bin
        +---contrib
        +---demos
        +---doc
        +---lib
        +---tests

Are many people here using Pmw? In my opinion, Tkinter is all
to weak without something extra like Pmw, but I thought the
Tix support in current Python was good enough to replace Pmw.
But when I really tried, it turned out that at least with
ActivePython 2.2.1, the Tix support isn't anything like the
rich library on the Tix web site. I found no Grid widget for
instance.

So I guess I might stay with wxPython for some more time...
