[wxPython-users] Google Summer Of Code 2008

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi Chris, Mike,

You are totally right ofcourse, wx.AUI is not always the way to go.
Soon I will release my tool and hope to bring an end to that
contradiction, because you can select with it wether your generated
app requires wx.AUI or not, and even specify how many docking windows
you want. I hope to release it soon although I am fixing a small issue
so that one overcomplicated way of doing things will become more easy
for the end user.

Indeed writing a static best in class example as GSOC2008 project for
the purpose of being a skeleton framework might be too limiting for
the end user if there is not much to configure ;-)

Regards,
- Jorgen
