Not answering the real question but we have a lot of little wxPython GUIs driving big engineering design software suites at the advanced nuclear design company I work at. Engineers (mechanical, nuclear, etc.) can grasp it fairly quickly, get their knobs on the screen, and be back to doing their mechanical and nuclear engineering. We got started because the original python guy (me) learned it from a grad student in 2005 via the excellent wx docs and demos collection of examples. Works great and we recently went all Python 3.
- dotdi 9y agoI realized it's a great tool for quick prototyping, especially internal software, but I was wondering if anybody took it beyond that.
- dagw 9y agoNot that I know of. Here is a list from the wxPython homepage: https://wiki.wxpython.org/wxPythonPit%20Apps https://wiki.wxpython.org/wxPythonPit%20Apps As you can see much of the list is either 'toy' applications or older applications that haven't been updated for ages.
- bklaasen 9y agoChandler is on that list! That's the failed PIM desktop software that Mitch Kapor financed as a hobby project and which was the subject of the book "Dreaming in Code"by Scott Rosenberg. Terrific book, shame about the software.
- dagw 9y agoMatches my experience very well. A few jobs ago I was developing in house apps using WxPython at a civil engineering company.
