Building GUI Applications with PythonCard

By:

This session will demonstrate the process of building cross-platform Python applications with graphical user interfaces using the PythonCard framework and tool set. By giving you access to the full power of Python without requiring you to master complex GUI libraries, PythonCard becomes a power tool for scripting users and professional programmers alike. Creating graphical desktop applications that run across platforms and take advantage of Python's simple elegance is easier than you think. PyCrust, the embeddable Python shell, puts the power of the Python interpreter at your fingertips.

This session is a version of the introduction to PythonCard presentation given at OSCON 2005 and the UK Python conference in 2003.

Paper: Building GUI Applications with PythonCard

A Python programmer since 2000, Andy was involved in the initial discussions which lead to the setting up of the PythonCard project in 2001. Since then he has been a developer on the project and has contributed a number of modules, sample applications and documentation. He is active on the project mailing lists and always interested in helping people build applications as quickly and easily as possible.

Andy is also responsible for maintaining the project web site and for putting together project releases.
