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
This is a problem with window creation. I presume it's occurring because
you aren't running the program in a windowed environment - if you've
logged in through a graphical screen such as xdm and you are running the
program in a window on a desktop the DISPLAY environment variable is
normally set up for you.
Perhaps you are just telnetting in from a remote system?
