Generic GUI Wrapper For Python
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."
Cum togetherrrrrrrrr
Right noww
over meeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm sorry, I think I'm still recovering from thinking of JonKatz as a gimp.
Larry Wall probably agrees with me that Perl is a much better language. What's this shit with OOP? OOP is a sinking ship, it's been already demonstrated a hundred times that it shows no advantages (except for morons who don't know what they're doing) and is always 5-500 times slower, take C++ or Java for example.
Sincerely, Mike Bouma
Mad propz to JonKatz, the original sweaty buttock crevice.
:o)

I want something to wrap around my python. Neither Durex nor Trojan seem to be able to help.
BRINGING JonKatz ALONG
CmdrTaco answered the doorbell, saw Hemos, and turned around
walking away and clapping his hands.
"Hot damn! Got some juicy porn flicks for us tonight,
buddy."
"Hope so," Hemos said, ushering a third guy in, then closing
the door. CmdrTaco turned.
"Uh, who's this?"
"That's JonKatz. He's a queer," Hemos stated flatly, taking
off his jacket and throwing it over a chair.
"What?" CmdrTaco frowned, looking JonKatz up and down. "Uh,
what'd you bring a queer along for?"
"Instead of sitting there like a couple of idgits with our
hands down our pants, I figured we'd do it up good. Strip down
and let him lick us while we watch porn."
"You're weird, man!" CmdrTaco shook his head.
"Nuts. You'd like to lick CmdrTaco's cock and balls, wouldn't
you, JonKatz?"
JonKatz stood there nervously, staring directly at CmdrTaco's
crotch. "Unh huh."
"See, I told ya."
"I don't care. I ain't gonna let no faggot mess with me!"
"Suit yourself. You'll change your mind once you see him
working me over. He's got a wicked tongue. A real special
talent. Besides that, he's a nasty little punk. You like doing
nasty things, doncha, JonKatz?"
JonKatz nodded up and down, a stupid smile on his face.
"Whadda you mean, nasty? Cocksuckin' another dude is nasty
enough."
Hemos took CmdrTaco by the shoulders and turned him around.
"JonKatz, how'd you like to ram your tongue up my buddy's hairy
butthole? Look good to ya?"
JonKatz's eyes lit up and his tongue did an obscene little
swirl. "YOU BET!"
"WHAT?!" CmdrTaco cried.
"Pop a tape in, man. I'm ready to get started." He began to
remove his pants and shirt. "JonKatz sucks assholes, dude. JonKatz
loves to suck assholes. Wait'll you see him sucking mine out."
"Are you doped up or what? I don't wanna see him suckin'
your shithole, man!"
"Oh, you will, buddy. Then you'll throw your legs up and
beg him to drill his tongue up your keester."
"Hey, do what you want. Just stay down at that end of the
couch, okay?"
Hemos sat bare-assed on the couch, sprawling his legs out.
CmdrTaco took a few furtive glances at his buddy's nakedness, then
averted his eyes as he pushed the remote. He sighed disgustedly
when JonKatz also took his clothes off, although he was somewhat
glad the guy wasn't some ugly old troll.
"Hey, JonKatz," Hemos said, fiddling with his balls, "go and
bring us all beers."
JonKatz hopped up and went into the kitchen.
"Are you serious?!" CmdrTaco hissed after he left.
"Trust me, man. Just treat him like a punk slave. He'll do
anything you say. Come on, take your fuckin' clothes off and
get into it."
Reluctantly, CmdrTaco began to strip. When JonKatz came back, he
saw CmdrTaco's big cock and whistled appraisingly. CmdrTaco blushed.
"Nice big honker, hunh, JonKatz?" Hemos said, looking his
buddy's cock over. "Got you drooling, thinking about the two
big loads you're gonna get? We used to jerk each other off when
we were kids. CmdrTaco shoots a big wad."
"Jeez, don't tell him that!" CmdrTaco cried.
"Why not? You do."
"I don't mean that, I mean...the other."
"Cripes, you've turned into such a pussy. Ever jerked off
with your straight buddies when you were younger, JonKatz?"
"Sure. All the time. Then I started sucking 'em. They dug
it, but then they eventually gave me the heave-ho."
"Stupid fucks," Hemos growled, taking a swig of his beer. He
leaned over and rustled JonKatz's hair. "I wouldn't have done
that. I would have fed you cock all through junior high and
high school. Some guys just don't know when they've got
something cooking. Woah, nice pussy! Get a load of the meat on
that fucker, too. Bet you'd like to sucker the jizz outta that
guy's balls, hunh, JonKatz?"
"Yeah, but I'd really to suck his hairy asshole!" JonKatz
replied.
"Bet he'd let ya. You really get off on bungs, doncha? You
like smelling 'em, too, doncha? Sure dig sniffin' mine. I was
pretty ripe the other day, wasn't I?" His cock was up hard and
he was fisting it slowly.
"You sure were...real ripe!"
"But you liked it that way, didn't you?"
"I sure did, Hemos! Got a stinky one tonight?"
"Better than stinky, man. That's why I'm sitting on my
shirt. Don't wanna get any butt slime on CmdrTaco's couch." He
chuckled while CmdrTaco gasped.
"Aw, that's filthy, man! Are you sitting there with a
shitty asshole?"
"Hey, I'm on an old shirt. Relax."
"Are you saying that queer...licks shitty assholes?!"
"I don't know. This is the first time I've offered it to
him dirty. JonKatz, you still wanna suck my ass?"
"Absolutely!" JonKatz gushed, crawling between Hemos's legs.
"I'll lick it clean for you. I like 'em kinda raunchy, but
if there's shit on it I don't mind licking it off."
"If CmdrTaco lifted his legs up and he had a ring of crap
all around his hole, would you lick it off for him?"
"Sure. I'd eat CmdrTaco's shit. I mean, I'd lick it off his
asshole."
"Here, lick it off mine. No sense messing up this shirt."
He grabbed his knees and pulled them back. CmdrTaco stared in shock
as JonKatz stuck his face up to Hemos's butt and began to sniff
and lick his hairy ass. "Watch this, CmdrTaco."
"Jeez, what about the movie?" CmdrTaco whined.
"Fuck the video. This is real. Watch how he licks off my
shithole."
JonKatz's tongue was bathing Hemos's entire crack. He loved
the smelly thing and soon had his tongue circling Hemos's shitty
hole. Hemos even reached down and pulled his cheeks apart,
letting the astonished CmdrTaco get a good peek. CmdrTaco couldn't help
staring as JonKatz cleaned his buddy's dirty crapper.
"Oh, this is the life!" Hemos moaned, throwing his head back
and glancing over at CmdrTaco. "When something gets dirty, just
have your personal slave lick it. He cleans my armpits and even
sucks the grunge from between my toes. He'll do anything you
ask him to, CmdrTaco. Just tell him what you want."
"Yeah, what if I wanted to SHIT on him?!" CmdrTaco snarled in
contempt.
"Go ahead. Hell, shit in his mouth if you want. Yeah, I'd
like to see that myself. You'd let CmdrTaco take a shit in your
mouth if I wanted, wouldn't you, JonKatz?"
"Um, gee, I guess so, Hemos, if you wanted me to. I've never
done that...sucked on a turd, I mean. I'd rather do it to you,
Hemos. For the first one, anyway."
"See, what'd I tell you? Well, I might be all shitted out,
so maybe we'll have to postpone the turdsuck for another time.
But suck me out real good, JonKatz. Maybe there's a leftover
turdball up there. If you can suck one out, there's a good
chance we can get CmdrTaco to take a poop for you."
"You're insane!" CmdrTaco cried, shaking his head. But he
continued to watch JonKatz eat out his buddy's splayed bunghole
...keeping a close eye out for any turdballs that might come
flying out. Not that he particularly wanted to see one.
"Mmmm, clean me out. Eat that shitty hole. Aw, look at him
slopping out my turdhole, CmdrTaco. Lots of shitjuice going down
his throat and he's happy as all fuck."
"Gee, Hemos, maybe he'd like to drink your enema," CmdrTaco said
sarcastically. "Oh, that's too demented to even suggest!"
"NO!" JonKatz piped up.
Hemos laughed. "Naw, that's more perverted than fun."
"I'm sorry I even mentioned it," CmdrTaco whined.
"Oooh, he's gettin' my hole loosened up. Maybe if I bear
down. If I plop out a little turd in his mouth, Hemos you go
through with it, CmdrTaco?"
"You know, just to show you how disgusting this all is, I
just might. Yeah, I'll fuckin' shit in his mouth, just so
you'll have to smell my shit!"
"Wouldn't be the first time, pal. I've followed you in the
bathroom before. You suck and I'll push, JonKatz. If that doesn't
work, maybe you can scoop some out with your fingers."
"I don't mind eating your shit off my fingers, Hemos," JonKatz
said, "but it won't be the same as a big turd in my mouth."
"You're right. Bad idea. Unless you just wanna scoop some
out anyway."
"Why can't you guys just do some normal cocksucking and
forget the shit?"
"Yeah, my hole's clean. Crawl over and see if CmdrTaco's ready
to let you lick his prick."
CmdrTaco had a stiff rail in his hand, despite everything else.
He sighed in resignation, and pushed his boner down between his
spread legs, letting the eager JonKatz lick the crown.
"Uh, yeah, that's okay. What the hell. I've let a couple
fags go down on me in the past. Go ahead and suck it if you
want."
"That's the spirit, CmdrTaco! But let him treat you, don't go
blowing your load too soon. And when you're ready, just lift
your legs and tell him to lick your ass."
After JonKatz slobbered over CmdrTaco's knob and teased up and
down his shaft for a while, CmdrTaco was getting turned on much too
fast. He pulled his cock from JonKatz's mouth and lifted his
thighs.
"Alright," he sighed with false reluctance, "Go on. Might
as well get my ass sucked for all this baloney you're putting
me through." He stared at the ceiling--a feined attempt to
disassociate himself from what was happening.
"Aw, poor baby," Hemos chuckled, making CmdrTaco laugh, too.
Then CmdrTaco let out a quiet little gasp as JonKatz's wet tongue
began to circle his hairy anus.
"Ah, fuck!" He lifted his thighs more and held his knees
back. "If you're gonna eat out my shithole, man, go for it! Oh,
god, I didn't know I was so sensitive down there. Oh, that's a
great sensation!"
"You got him hooked, JonKatz baby," Hemos cried, getting down
on the floor to watch. "Make him squirm. Lick that hairy
stinkhole and show him whose tongue is boss. Make him quiver
like you did me that first time. Look at him holding those legs
back, offering everything he's got. Eat that smelly hole!" Hemos
looked up at CmdrTaco and winked. "Kinda neat having a faggot
between your cheeks cleaning out your shitty asshole, isn't it?
And the best part is he likes the way you smell down there and
he likes the way you taste. He's gonna ram his long tongue up
your hot turdhole and try to lick out your steamy rectum!"
Then he turned back to JonKatz. "How's he taste?"
"Oh, he's delicious! And his smell doesn't go away after
licking it, cause it's so hairy, I guess. Best smelling asshole
I ever smelled. I could keep my nose in here for a week!"
"Well, buddy, guess your shit does stink better than mine."
"Oh, that's, I mean..." JonKatz stammered, "I still love
yours, Hemos."
"Heh. Just eat. I know enough about bungsuckers to know
that the sweetest asshole in the world is the one they happen to
be eating out at the moment." He sat down next to CmdrTaco, raised
his own legs, then grabbed CmdrTaco's hand and wrapped it around
his prick while taking CmdrTaco's big cock in hand. Then he
grinned. "Hell, we might as well trade handjobs while he
tickles our innards."
CmdrTaco was about to take his hand away, but the feel and
texture of his buddy's cock felt comfortably familiar. "Guess
one more time wouldn't hurt."
"Hell, I never did want to stop. Even after we started
getting chicks, I could have gone for a wild meat-beating with
you now and then. And it's a lot safer now."
"How's that?"
"Well, with a cocksucker to do our bidding, we won't be
tempted to try it out."
"I never was tempted to try that!" CmdrTaco said defensively.
"Fuck you and the big balls you rode in on! I thought about
it, and I know you did, too. We were both just too chicken,
that's all."
"Yeah. Well, good thing we got a cocksucker, right?"
"Right. How's your bunghole feeling?"
"Ah, good! Makes me think about something else we never
tried." He chuckled.
"Hey, we're big boys now. You can stick it up my hole if I
can stick it up yours! And JonKatz can suck our cocks clean!"
"Fuck each other like a bitch, hunh?"
"Yep. Then we can both fuck JonKatz."
"And I'll still lick your pricks clean!" JonKatz blurted out,
smiling.
The problem: existing cross-platform libraries are not ported everywhere.
The solution, according to IBM: port an existing cross-platform library everywhere? No! Make an entirely brand new cross-platform library interface, that runs no previously-written code. Also, instead of wrapping the few unsupported low-level GUI interfaces not yet supported, and deal with all the quirks of each system, they will wrap every existing Python GUI, and deal with the quirks of each system. Naturally this will result in a far superior, much more portable product. Why? Because We're IBM and We say so! (it's their company motto, slogan, and vision statement, look it up)
So all Python programmers should immediately embrace this new standard, which, despite being alpha at best, will surely soon be much better than any existing toolkit.
Sure, they could just clean up the TK ports, but where's the fun (or branding) in that?
Please try to stay on topic in the future and this will become a much happier place. Okay?
THIS JUST IN!

GET IT WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred last month, and now we're involved in a WAR and you people have the gall to be discussing Generic GUI Wrapper For Python???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about Generic GUI Wrapper For Python, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!
You people disgust me!
