Hello Fuzzyman,


Are there widely used and recommended Python libraries that will
let me makes a portable text user interface?

If you just need a text-like interface you can use Tkinter. See (shameless plug) http://developer.berlios.de/projects/bcd/ and http://developer.berlios.de/dbimage.php?id=1112 for example.


Your project looks very interesting. It would be better if it displayed
an error message if it can't find the '_bcdrc' file. If you run it from
windoze it just appears and disapears.

How about allowing the '_bcdrc' file to be in the same directory as the
script as well.

Cool. A user! Thanks for the comments. I'll add searching next to the application on win32 platforms.


Any chance of you releasing the Tkinter text interface as a separate
library, with a less restrictive license ? It looks very good - but I
can't use it in my projects if it is GPL.

It's just standard Tkinter Listbox with key bindings and it's under 160 lines of code. Nothing special here.

Bye.

i have not used Tcl/Tk before, and don't know how to solve the problem -

after i've made config file (.bcdrc) and run the script on FreeBSD 4, i've got 
the message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bcd.py", line 177, in ?
    root = Tk() # Main window
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1511, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className)
TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
