So, one of the things I am begin­ning to test the waters on is writ­ing actual GUI appli­ca­tions in Python — design­ing a GUI is not some­thing I have ever done, nor have I ever had the need. How­ever, as I develop more tools — dis­trib­uted ones at that, I find that putting a decent UI around them would be handy for other users.

Let’s throw in the fact I am also a Mac User. So in real­ity, I know I want to start with some­thing like wxPython or PyGTK — I know that much at least.

But sit­ting in my book­mark list is an arti­cle (from Apple’s site) on using Python to develop Mac appli­ca­tion using PyObj — some­thing that’s been eat­ing at the back of my head for a few months.

In any case, start­ing with PyObjC is a lit­tle beyond my GUI capa­bil­i­ties at the moment. So, instead I found Python­Card — a GUI con­struc­tion kit for Py apps using wxPython.

The Python card site has an excel­lent starter walk­through here which i fig­ure I’ll start chew­ing on.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to ramp up on this — right now I’m tapped out with every­thing else under the sun — but more infor­ma­tion is good information.
