Generic GUI Wrapper For Python

Posted by timothy on from the operating-systems-shouldn't-matter dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes "IBM is working on a generic GUI wrapper to allow Python developers to write cross-platform GUIs. The anygui project will expose a common set of functions to the programmer and choose which backend gui toolkit to use for the given platform: TK, WIN32, GTK, Bethon, etc. Currently the software is in an alpha stage. The article also has some example code." Update: 10/27 23:53 GMT by T : Magnus Lie Hetland wrote to point out that though this article is hosted at IBM, "Anygui has nothing to do with IBM. It is, in fact, an independent Open Source project currently hosted at SourceForge."

  1. Generic AI Mind Wrapper for Python by Mentifex · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Python is used for twenty-seven open source AI projects on SourceForge, and therefore a Mind-to-Python liaison page has been established at http://mind.sourceforge.net/python.html -- along with fifteen other Open Source AI languages.

    Artificial Intelligence in Python at http://www.strout.net/python/ai/ is one instance of how important Python is for AI.

    What most open source AI projects lack is a Theory of Mind well-grounded in neuroscience. The http://mind.sourceforge.net/theory5.html page with ample co-references provides not only the fundamental AI theory but also its albeit primitive implementation in both Win32Forth and MSIE JavaScript -- which any AI enthusiast may easily save-to-disk and begin hosting on a personal Web site, as the AI Mind pervades the 'Net and leads us upwards and onwards to Technological Singularity!
