Back around 2002 or so, I used to use PythonCard for in-house tools. PythonCard was a kind of a cross between HyperCard and Visual Basic and used wxWidgets for the UI elements. It was really excellent software.
- elcritch 4y agoWhat's the distinctive part that made PythonCard useful?
- criddell 4y agoThe simplicity of it. No programming was needed to create the UI. It used a dialog editor like the one from Visual Basic. It was pretty fun to use. You just had to drag-and-drop a control on the form. Handling events was just as easy. In the dialog editor you could association a standard event (like mouse or keyboard events) with a python function. If you really wanted to, you could edit the event code because it was all just dictionaries, but you didn't need to.
