Post #115,783 by FuManChu 8/29/03 3:56:42 AM Reply	I subclassed my first Python type today Added an attribute to the dict class called isDirty so I could keep track of changes. class StainableDict(types.DictType):\n isDirty = False\n \n def __init__(self, data=None):\n if data is not None: self.update(data)\n self.isDirty = False\n \n def __setitem__(self, key, value):\n types.DictType.__setitem__(self, key, value)\n self.__dict__['isDirty'] = True Fun. :) I know Python has warts, but I have yet to get hit by them.

Post #115,853 by FuManChu 8/29/03 2:01:52 PM Reply	I think I was lucky to hit Python's Golden Age That is, 2.2 was my first version. Types and classes are nearly fully merged, we've got list comprehensions, iterators and generators, properties, __new__ and not just __init__--I could go on and on, but 2.2 is the shiznit (if you don't have to worry about backwards compatibility, but even that looks easy to manage).

Been meaning to get to it one of these days. (Has to do with cement analysis on oil & gas wells). Haven't written a line of code yet, but I've decided to write it in Python. I can do all the domain specific processing, but was wondering how easy (hard) it is to write the screens for the gui. Looking for something MDI. Any recommendation as far as GUI toolkits?
