Hi
Has anyone here written GUI applications for Linux?
I am interested in writing a relatively simple app to start with,
prefereably in Python, maybe Perl if Python is too much work to get libs
for.
Examples:
- list the up/down status of a couple of web sites,
- maybe something more complicated, maybe to list the unread emails available on a couple of accounts,
- then a truly trivial graphical game, something like "Hello Gamer
rfinnius- you have pressed 11 keys since the app started".
- Where rfinnius is your login name.
Python with Tkinter is more than sufficient for this. You can graduate up to
Gtk or Qt if you want a more sophisticated api.
Also, is anyone familiar with doing those things with the Enlightenment libraries?
Is Python supported well in Enlightenment?
No idea. Does anyone use Enlightenment anymore?
I do. I'm running bodhi linux on my old Dell mini-9, and it runs
extremely well.

But I think the question is backwards, it should be, is Enlightenment
supported well in Python? There used to be a python-efl library
available a couple of years ago but I don't know about its current state.
