That will be great, that will be useful to see if need to add, remove some
options in that get_method_args. The widget creation part i wrote is specific
for TG but the validation can be used from other API's because it is based on
FormEncode :)

Well... that was clever of me.. 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.
Hi again !
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...
Ideally we want to use things that can be found in EL-4 and EL-5 so
packaging
it is easy. That being said, if it makes life substanitally easier to
make a script
that works for Fedora only, the TUI is not mission-critical, so that may
be ok.
We could in that case just include it in the RPM but not include the
deps, or otherwise
conditionally package it or even make a seperate package.
Ideally if we found some neat library that wasn't available in EL-4 but
it was packaged
for F-9, for instance, we'd see if the maintainer could branch the
package for us.
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).
Yikes :) I vote for using the one that doesn't segfault :)
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...
Very cool. Let us know if we can help with questions and so forth!
--Michael
