The macro was already defined a few lines higher. * Fixed path to tix in the build_tkinter.py script * Changed make_buildinfo.c to use versions of unlink and strcat which are considered safe by Windows (as suggested by MvL). * Removed two defines from pyproject.vsprops that are no longer required. Both are defined in pyconfig.h and make_buildinfo.c doesn't use the unsafe versions any more (as suggested by MvL). * Added some more information about PGO and the property files to PCbuild9/readme.txt.

Other Graphical User Interface Packages
|
||
=======================================
|
||
|
||
There are an number of extension widget sets to :mod:`Tkinter`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. seealso::
|
||
|
||
`Python megawidgets <http://pmw.sourceforge.net/>`_
|
||
is a toolkit for building high-level compound widgets in Python using the
|
||
:mod:`Tkinter` module. It consists of a set of base classes and a library of
|
||
flexible and extensible megawidgets built on this foundation. These megawidgets
|
||
include notebooks, comboboxes, selection widgets, paned widgets, scrolled
|
||
widgets, dialog windows, etc. Also, with the Pmw.Blt interface to BLT, the
|
||
busy, graph, stripchart, tabset and vector commands are be available.
|
||
|
||
The initial ideas for Pmw were taken from the Tk ``itcl`` extensions ``[incr
|
||
Tk]`` by Michael McLennan and ``[incr Widgets]`` by Mark Ulferts. Several of the
|
||
megawidgets are direct translations from the itcl to Python. It offers most of
|
||
the range of widgets that ``[incr Widgets]`` does, and is almost as complete as
|
||
Tix, lacking however Tix's fast :class:`HList` widget for drawing trees.
|
||
|
||
`Tkinter3000 Widget Construction Kit (WCK) <http://tkinter.effbot.org/>`_
|
||
is a library that allows you to write new Tkinter widgets in pure Python. The
|
||
WCK framework gives you full control over widget creation, configuration, screen
|
||
appearance, and event handling. WCK widgets can be very fast and light-weight,
|
||
since they can operate directly on Python data structures, without having to
|
||
transfer data through the Tk/Tcl layer.

The major cross-platform (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix-like) GUI toolkits that are
|
||
also available for Python:
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. seealso::
|
||
|
||
`PyGTK <http://www.pygtk.org/>`_
|
||
is a set of bindings for the `GTK <http://www.gtk.org/>`_ widget set. It
|
||
provides an object oriented interface that is slightly higher level than the C
|
||
one. It comes with many more widgets than Tkinter provides, and
|
||
has good Python-specific reference documentation. There are also `bindings
|
||
<http://www.daa.com.au/~james/gnome/>`_ to `GNOME <http://www.gnome.org>`_.
|
||
One well known PyGTK application is
|
||
`PythonCAD <http://www.pythoncad.org/>`_. An
|
||
online `tutorial <http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html>`_ is
|
||
available.
|
||
|
||
`PyQt <http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/index.php>`_
|
||
PyQt is a :program:`sip`\ -wrapped binding to the Qt toolkit. Qt is an
|
||
extensive C++ GUI application development framework that is
|
||
available for Unix, Windows and Mac OS X. :program:`sip` is a tool
|
||
for generating bindings for C++ libraries as Python classes, and
|
||
is specifically designed for Python. The *PyQt3* bindings have a
|
||
book, `GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition
|
||
<http://www.commandprompt.com/community/pyqt/>`_ by Boudewijn
|
||
Rempt. The *PyQt4* bindings also have a book, `Rapid GUI Programming
|
||
with Python and Qt <http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html>`_, by Mark
|
||
Summerfield.
|
||
|
||
`wxPython <http://www.wxpython.org>`_
|
||
wxPython is a cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python that is built around
|
||
the popular `wxWidgets <http://www.wxwidgets.org/>`_ (formerly wxWindows)
|
||
C++ toolkit. It provides a native look and feel for applications on
|
||
Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix systems by using each platform's native
|
||
widgets where ever possible, (GTK+ on Unix-like systems). In addition to
|
||
an extensive set of widgets, wxPython provides classes for online
|
||
documentation and context sensitive help, printing, HTML viewing,
|
||
low-level device context drawing, drag and drop, system clipboard access,
|
||
an XML-based resource format and more, including an ever growing library
|
||
of user-contributed modules. wxPython has a book, `wxPython in Action
|
||
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1932394621>`_, by Noel Rappin and
|
||
Robin Dunn.
|
||
|
||
PyGTK, PyQt, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel and far more
|
||
widgets and better documentation than Tkinter. In addition,
|
||
there are many other GUI toolkits for Python, both cross-platform, and
|
||
platform-specific. See the `GUI Programming
|
||
<http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming>`_ page in the Python Wiki for a
|
||
much more complete list, and also for links to documents where the
|
||
different GUI toolkits are compared.
