Welcome to IWETHEY!

New They already use the mouse
but just to select and copy stuff. Mostly they use command line tools but often they need arguments that were returned from other tools. For instance, the order-id is a long alphanumeric string that they copy and paste all over the place.

Anyhow, I'm trying to build for best of both worlds - very responsive to keyboard freaks, but still enough of a helpful conventional gui for newbies to ramp up on quickly.

Anybody know the state of wxWindows/Ruby? Is it as good as python? Seems we already have a number of ruby interfaces to services - but I'd need to port them to python.

New I haven't used wxRuby
I used wxPython several years ago and it was quite good back then. I suspect that porting anything between Ruby and Python is going to be relatively easy.

New I've done more investigation
wxRuby seems stillborn. No work has happened on it in a couple years. I guess ruby people have decided to focus on web apps.

I downloaded the python stuff and it seems quite good. I suspect this has a bit to do with all the work the Chandler people put into it.

New That's always a bad sign.
I used wxPython for a small project about 4 years ago, and it was very good back then.

New A plus for WxPython - wxPython in Action book is available
Review [link|http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_04_29.shtml#e319|here]

Also, there's [link|http://sourceforge.net/projects/waxgui|Wax], which is a more Pythonic interface to part of wxPython.
