What open source projects you are working on?

Franz_Steinhaeuser · September 28, 2006, 9:31am

Hi all,

i ask here (a little impudent) on what open source projects
using wxPython you are working currently?

What would you like to program, if you have enough time?

I for example tried a few years ago to create or better said
to translate a filemanager from wxwidgets to wxpython,
using the open source project atol.

The next was a little contribution to DrPython (mainly bug reports, feature requests
and plugins).

My dream would be to make a little simple newsreader like Forte Agent
or XPN (pyGtk Project on Sourceforge).

Create an irfanview replacer. On linux there are no programs like it,
with the same (a lot of) feautures.

XPN (pyGtk Project on Sourceforge).

Why not start to do it? Contact the developer (Italian ) and ask him
if it has wrote XPN in model/view, so the GUI can be simple translated
from XPN to wx!

Bye,
Michele

Thank you for your information.

That would be cool, cornice from Alberto Griggio written in wxPython
and using wxGlade already exist (but I think, you know).

XPN (pyGtk Project on Sourceforge).

Why not start to do it? Contact the developer (Italian ) and ask him
if it has wrote XPN in model/view, so the GUI can be simple translated
from XPN to wx!

I'm hesitating, I'm currently examing the program, if it is doable.

Cheers

Hi,
I am new to open source programming, and haven't learned about formally establishing 'projects', or proper packaging, open source licensing, and such. But I recently retired, and find programming with python and wxpython to be very relaxing and personally rewarding.

Recent work includes a very short app that will pop-up your Firefox bookmarks, and launch Firefox with your selection. It's linux specific at the moment, but should work with other platforms with a couple of very simple line changes.

My other current effort is a contract bridge game. It's in a very early stage, and I anticipate a few weeks until it can play the game in a very stupid fashion. Right now, it can deal a hand, perform a simple point count, accept user bids, and provides the mechanics for playing the hand. But it will probably take another year to refine the hand analysis, bidding and establish meaningful algorithms to play the hands.

If you have a suggestions about where these apps can be placed for open source access, I'd be glad to clean them up and post them.

Thanks,

···

Dan,

What bidding system are you programming into it?

have you thought about making it multi-player online?

i ask here (a little impudent) on what open source projects

Haven't thought about liscenceing or release or anything, but I'm
currently working on a program to parse and analyze City of Heroes
chat logs, correlate them with screenshots from the game, record notes
and narritive and put together an HTML storybook-sort-of-thing, sort
of like what you can do with the Sims screenshot mode. I'm just
puttering with designing the interface at the moment, puttering once
in a while.

(And I just learned for about the forth time that if you have frame
with a (sub-)sub-panel and you create controls parented to the frame
but try to use them in sizers assigned to the panel, the layout
implodes . . . .)

What would you like to program, if you have enough time?

I've got a crazy idea for a cross between a roguelike (tile-based,
anyway) RPG, a 4X game (e.g. Civilization), a world simulator, and
possibly bits and pieces of X-COM, Elite/Frontier, and The Sims . . .
. >_>

Yeah, need about 40 hundred billion hours for that project.

UliPad(NewEdit before) and something used in UliPad, for example
EasyGuider (quick create dialog, notebook, wizard according dict-like
resource file), EasyGuider has been included in UliPad

What would you like to program, if you have enough time?

Improving UliPad, and doing some other frameworks support in UliPad,
for example django support, javascript support

I also doing some web development(django).

What bidding system are you programming into it?

The bookmark program doesn't have a bidding system sorry, I couldn't resist!

The bridge program, however, will use most of the rules found in the Roth system. Some of the response adjustments are very complicated and will either be approximated, added late in development, or skipped altogether - depending on how well it plays at that time.

have you thought about making it multi-player online?

I'm tying to use a homegrown version of MVC/MVP, and if I can keep the model pure enough, the plan is to get a decent playing game with turns played by computer or live player. If I can achieve that, then adding a 'remote' player module should be feasible by combining the gui with a telecommuting control module, and additional telecommunications code in the contol module of the host. But that's a long way away, and may turn out better to rewrite as a web-based app.

Take a look at floater - it is Duplicate brdge, but it is an online muiltplayer game written in tcl.

Hi all,

i ask here (a little impudent) on what open source projects

Task Coach (http://taskcoach.niessink.com)

What would you like to program, if you have enough time?

I'd like to grow Task Coach into a complete personal work-assistent. It won't be an agenda (although integration with agenda's is a necessity), it won't be an email program (although integration with email is a necessity too) and it won't be a webbrowser (although, ... you get the point). I think/hope there is room for another application between those existing 'standard' apps that everyone uses.

Cheers, Frank

Notalon (http://notalon.sourceforge.net
).

What would you like to program, if you have enough time?

If I had enough time, I would improve Notalon significantly, especially its PDF formatting options.

Thank you all for your answers, maybe some others will also still reply.
That is really interesting.

Cool would be to have in wxPython:
(For me base programs like Webbrowser, Newsreader and/or Email Client,
Filemanager, one more graphics viewer, simple graphics program,... (what
else?))

I think, helping developing programs, where are plenty available, but
Applications itself, there could be more.
wxglade, xrc, boa, winpdb, lot of editors

Also for enhancing existing programs with macros
or plugins.

I tried a macro in wincvs using wxpython and it is
no problem to use it for that.

I just begun yesterday to dig in, it's tough (the pygtk differs a lot to
wxPython).

Hi Dan,

you could create a Sourceforge project or a project on BerliOs.
