Applications written in wxPython

Franz_Steinhaeuser · September 14, 2006, 11:42am

Hi,

I wonder, why are so less programs available in the net written in
the wonderful and high developed wxPython.

Much IDES (Boa), Editors (Box, spe, pype, DrPython, ...)
and GUI Designer (wxglade, XRC) are intende fo help for program in wxPython
itself.

Beside this (only bigger applications, which I can think of right now)
nice is the TaskCoach from Frank Niessink.
There is a graphic Viewer
Cornice from Alberto G: (wxGlade), thumbnail control from Andrea (and Peter Damoc?)

I tried to write a filemanager (wxPytatol) about two or three years ago, but I abandoned it.
It should be a version of atol (wxWidgets) in wxPython.

I saw an announcement of XPN, which is an terrific newsreader written in PyGTK.
Nice is also ReleaseForge written in PyQT.
It would be very interesting to write such a *beast* in wxPython.
What could one await to convert a pygtk code to wxPython?

What could be interesting for people, who want to learn wxPython or look for some ideas
for a project?

* Mail Client
* (simple) browser
* Graphic Viewer beside Cornice like
* (simple) Graphic program like Gimp, (bis would be a huge challenge).
* File Manager
* Cd Burning program
...

Another question, which I find quite intriguing:
Who of you users works on which (free or open source) projects?

BitPIM is an excellent example:

http://www.bitpim.org/

One really nice feature of note is that is is distributed with various installers so that people run it on Windows, Linux, OS-X, etc, and have no idea it's written in Python and wxPython.

Hi Chris,

thank you for your tip, it looks really good (from the first glance at the screenshots).

[comment]
-- a little bugrtool just copy lib and binaries
but i 've to change the copy in rw ( here the bug )
rtool doesn't work on the original

to fix this, i made an uggly chmod -R 755 BitPim.app
but i think it should be fixed in the next version

Thanks, I will make a temporary list,
when I have time to add all your suggestions,
and the one, which I have already collected
via Sourceforge and/or Google.

maybe distinguish as in Sourceforge
1 ... Alpha
6 ... mature
would also interesting.

Are you thinking about a category for collecting 'homegrown' apps, that don't go through typical project reviews, don't have official maintainers, and don't currently end up in any repositories?

This could be a useful source of snippets and 'technique' code, but would have to be published as 'reader be advised', regarding completeness, style, bugs, risk, etc.

You know...this is smelling quite a bit like freshmeat.net's "Projects
depending on this project".

If they had a method of discovering a more complete listing (perhaps
with categories), and if the wxPython project on freshmeat.net were
updated (can be made automatic), then we'd already have a registry.
