May 2011: Effort is now underway to renew the push to release a Pythoncard 1.0. Features that have been added include:
- Widgets:
PythoncardPdfWindow, PythoncardFlashWindow, PythoncardMatplotlibCanvasWindow, PythoncardMultiSelectionList, PythoncardDragAndDropEnabledTreeControl, PythoncardIehtmlWindow
PythoncardMdiParentWindow, PythoncardMdiChildWindow, PythoncardMdiSashWindow, PythoncardMultiPanelBackgroundWindow
Updated PythoncardLayoutManager supporting the newly added widgets, and a revived action manager (provide list of actions or events associated with widgets in a context-sensitive fashion - no more needs to memorize which widget can do what).
Apr 2013: A separate effort was also started to modernize PythonCard, but due backward compatibility issues (new lock & feel, django-models like metaclases, general cleanup, etc.), development has forked in a new project: gui2py. Features that have been added include: Visual GUI Designer, Inspector and Property Editor. Supports Python 2.5 to Python 3.2; wxPython 2.8 "stable", 2.9 "classic" and "phoenix" (py3k). Features advanced pythonic MVC controls (ListView, GridView, TreeView) using list- and dict-like objects; masked and date picker controls; common dialogs; fluid layout using sizers & basic HTML; simplified event model (similar to JavaScript).
