Learning wxPython

Hey! Enki has moved his blog to Armyofevilrobots.com. Check it out after you are done here. This page is going nowhere though...

I have been pretty lax lately about a policy that I have carried for a long time, but have recently found that I am not the only one.

For this reason, I have decided it is time to get off my ass and learn wxPython. That's right... not just Python but the wxWindow library for it. That way I can code for Windows, Linux, and OSX at the same time. Call me a M$ whore for GUI coding, but I insist on UI standardization.

Now some of the Python geeks (who are third place only after Mac and Perl geeks for rabid fanboyism), are going to come to my house and hang me by the dangly bits for saying this, but Python gives me this wierd vibe. I keep feeling like I am coding in VB (yuck), but with that wierd whitespace as a syntactic element thing (and I am still pretty uncomfortable with THAT too).

Every once in a while I find myself coding with:

if i>7 then
instead of
if i>7:

Otherwise, the exception handling and functional elements make me goo myself, and (unlike java) we have a runtime that JUST WORKS. Java always seems to have problems finding pieces of itself, and isn't always installed on everybody's Linux workstation. Python JUST WORKS.

Ah well. I'll let you know how it goes.

By recognizing a favorable opinion of yourself, and taking pleasure in it, you in a measure give yourself and your peace of mind into the keeping of another, of whose attitude you can never be certain.

The fundamental sense of freedom is freedom from chains, from imprisonment, from enslavement by others. The rest is extension of this sense, or else metaphor.

Money does not pay for anything, never has, never will. It is an economic axiom as old as the hills that goods and services can be paid for only with goods and services.
