reingart / gui2py Goto Github PK

I would like to bundle a gui2py application and its dependencies as an .exe file. Does gui2py support this, perhaps via py2exe?

Newbie here. I'm looking for a graphical "form editor" for Python (basically something like Delphi but could be more basic). I'm not constrained by any technology nor anything else except for:

1. portability across systems (macOS/Windows/Linux)
2. easy distribution (ideally one .py file for app source and one .py/.zip file for the whole module with all its dependencies)

gui2py sounds interesting but I'd like to know beforehand whether there are any plans for future development and maintenance? Without that I'd be hesitant to start using gui2py 😢.

Could you elaborate?

After running 2to3 I still can't get the designer working. I fixed the error

ImportError: No module named 'wx.gizmos'

coming from inspector.py, replacing the TreeListClass with the new one in wxPython. But when running

python -m tools.gui.designer

afterwards, python crashes.

System info:

• python 3.5.1
• wxPython-Phoenix (3.0.3.dev2824+3f01517)
• Windows 10 with MinGW/msys

There is a major bug where this code is incompatible with recent versions of wx classic, which is incidentally the version gui2py's installation guide is linking to as well.

The origin of this bug is due to the wx library REVERTING their modifications to newer updates to preserve backwards compatibility. The restructured project has been RENAMED to phoenix, but uses the same version numbers as classic wx.

There appeared to be many lines that were attempting to check for phoenix versions with the code

wx.VERSION > (2, 9, 5)

Since classic versions are now up to 3.0.0.1 anyone who has recently installed or updated wx will get errors trying to use gui2py ..the most common error I saw was module adv not found.

To correct this bug, the code should instead look for 'classic' or 'phoenix' such as:

wx.version().find('classic')==-1:

I was able to get gui2py working on my machine by applying this fix to the files. Due to the frequency of this bug in the project, I decided to create a script to do the editing for me. You can find it here: https://github.com/nightlily/Fixr

The top-level README.md file contains a "for more information" link to code.google.com, this link is giving a 404 error.

Same for the "extensive instructions" link at the bottom of the file.

It looks as if "code.google.com" was shut down by google.
