Okay, here's the first pass at a FAQ for PythonCard. Please provide additional questions, corrections and suggestions. I'll probably put this version up later tonight. I used Andy's description of PythonCard. ka --- PythonCard FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) What is PythonCard? PythonCard is designed to be an application development framework for use by everybody. Its purpose and goal is ease of use and increasing productivity. From the first time to developer to the veteran coder who knows a dozen languages, PythonCard is designed to allow you to quickly and easily design and build fully functioning applications with a graphical user interface. What is the similarity between PythonCard and HyperCard? The PythonCard project is using HyperCard for inspiration. The first goal is to produce a framework. We already have runtime tools (Message Watcher, Property Editor, Shell) and a layout editor (resourceEditor sample), but we don't have an environment yet. You can use the resourceEditor sample to build layouts for your applications. Have any programs been written with PythonCard? Yes. For a list of the samples that have been built with PythonCard and some screenshots of them in action go to: http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/samples.html A description of each sample is included in the readme.txt file in each sample directory. Do I need to know Python to use PythonCard? Yes What do I need to use PythonCard? Python 2.1 or higher and wxPython 2.3.2 or higher. What Operating Systems are supported? PythonCard runs on every platform that both Python and wxPython are available for. This includes Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Linux GTK, and Solaris Where is the home page? http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/ Where can I download PythonCard? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=19015 Where is the mailing list? http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pythoncard-users Where is the CVS? http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=19015 |
