Hi Everybody,
Yesterday, Jason and I discussed our experience with trying to do a GUI with wxpython. I had pushed for a traditional GUI front end for the compiler, but it's just too big of a can of worms. This was a bad decission on my part going into this.
So we've decided to toss in the towel on wxpython, and GUIs in general (including pyjamas). GUI is dead!
The new plan is to develop a simple http server that dumps the onus for the GUI on the browser (where it belongs!). I stayed late at the sprint yesterday to get a first cut at the WSGI based http server shell running.
Jason is much happier now being able to work in a friendlier environment, and one that he understands.
So you can basically ignore everything in the ucc/gui directory now. The new front end is being done in ucc/web.
Long live http!
