Free wxglade software for linux

pyCDK is a set of Python bindings (using Pyrex) to the Curses Development Kit. It allows users to access high level curses widgets like the calendar, buttonbox, scrolling list, message box, etc. CDK is great, it really makes building complex curses applications much easier. I have used it before from C and Perl but no Python binding existed in this toolkit that I could find anyway.

pyCDK is strictly a text interface module, if you are looking to write a full fledged GUI in python then I highly recommend wxPython and wxGlade

This is a short guide for install:

1. Make sure you have Pyrex installed (version 0.82+).

2. Download and install CDK from Thomas Dickeys site
untar/gz the source archive
cd into it
./configure
./make
./make install

3. Download the pycdk package from here

4. If necessary, modify setup.py by adding the include and lib directories for CDK. The relevant portion is:

include_dirs = [/usr/local/include/cdk, /usr/include]
library_dirs = [/usr/local/lib, /usr/lib]
(I installed CDK with the default prefix of /usr/local.)

5. Run setup.py install (as root)

6. Every widget has a minimal example under pycdk/examples

7. Consult the man pages for CDK if you have a question that the examples dont make clear. Also, it may be that what you are after just isnt wrapped yet. In that case send me a note or better yet, send me a patch !

Python CD is a bootable CD based on Debian GNU/Linux and KNOPPIX.
The special thing about it is that it has lots of Python stuff!
Installable Python packages
In the top level directory of the CD is a directory python/, containing several packages of Python:
- Python for Linux - most Linux distributions include Python, so we dont provide it for them
- Python for Mac OS X
- Python for Windows, win32all extension
- Python for DOS - no maintainer yet, so we only provide an URL
- Python source code, if you want to compile it yourself
Ready-to-Use Python
On the bootable Linux system, Python is already installed and ready to run:
- Python 2.3.4 (latest and greatest, use this!)
- Python 2.2.3
- Python 2.1.3
