I replied directly to makkalot (sorry) instead of the list... let me try again, which is good because I have some edits after playing around a bit. As I was trying to say... I guess on that note I should stop lurking in the shadow of this list and say Hi. I'm the one that was talking to Michael about the TUI. Does anyone have an opinion on curses vs newt vs dialog? In general all will require a bit of wrapping (curses the most). My past experience towards a TUI was with python dialog.. which I guess could speed this up. I was considering trying to rely on as little as possible that wasn't part of the base python library to minimize layers and dependancie, but after looking at curses it seems like there is a very legit reason that newt and dialog were created... I decided to take a look at newt because it is used by several pieces of Fedora/RHEL already (such as system-config-network-tui). After playing with it though I think the Newt Library needs some work as well (I could just be to picky, but it looks like trying to use a Widget with a Grid causes Segmentation Faults across multiple versions which was the first example in a howto i found). So quick run down... name is Greg Swift (as you can see from the header), I've been a Fedora user since day 1 (actually got going on RH5.2). I've just recently (last year) started doing more development than sysadmin work (although still oriented towards sysadmin taks), primarily in python. I have not implemented func anywhere yet, but have been paying attention since the project went public (would have been a wonderful tool at my last job, but to late for that). I, unfortunately and fortunately, tend to stay a tad busy and so puter time at home is a bit rarer than it used to be, but hopefully my current gf moving back into town in August will positively increase my free time (not having to drive a few hundred miles every weekend and such). Anyways as i said.. Hi... I'm off to continue playing with this interface... -greg _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
