PyCon: Cross platform application development and distribution

wxPython Users
1

Hi,

I'd like to let you know that I am co-presenting a talk with Nadia
Alramli in which we share our experience of developing and
distributing cross platform applications with wxPython:

http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/schedule/event/38/

"You think Python gives you native cross platform applications for
free? Think twice.
Are you interested in distributing your application to other platforms
but not sure how?

We will give tips and examples on how to enhance the native feel of
your application: notifications, registration of file types and more.
The talk will also help you to avoid common pitfalls and provides
solutions for designing cross platform user interfaces. (Although we
use wxPython as an example, the principles are valid for other
toolkits as well.) We'll show you where to start if you want to
distribute your application to different platforms, briefly discussing
tools like py2exe, py2app and Debian/Ubuntu packaging ecosystem. This
talk is based on our experience from developing Phatch (Photo Batch
Processor) and SPE (Python Editor)."

Friday 19/2 02:55pm, Centennial II

A selection of these topics will be discussed:

If you are visiting PyCon, I hope to see you there!

Thanks very much for posting your presentation. I found it earlier
via Mike's blog - http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/

It looks like it was a great talk. Very entertaining, too. :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Scott.

It was an excellent talk. Great overview of distributing to the three platforms, beautifully presented in such a limited time.

The video is how I got here :slight_smile: ( by way of explaining to my kids how Stani made the 5€ coin). Thanks anyway.
