Hi, Just recently I had to take over support for legacy software written in Blaise (www.cbs.nl). As I did not know of this "Programming Language" until one year ago I started to learn it. Well.... more like "read it" as it's very very easy/simple.
However, I don't feel comfortable in that language. As far not as comfy as in python ;) So I wanted to see if anyone knows of any surveying system written in or usable with python. For those that do not know Blaise: First of all, it's a simplified syntax of Pascal so the syntax is quite readable. And here is what you do with it: You define variables, then define "routes". Those routes are simply definitions in which order those variables should be processed, and if some variables should be skipped. In addition to that it can perform a series of data-validation tests and some simple computations. It then uses these fields and routes to automatically generate a user-interface to fill in those fields. And that's about it. I am aware that something like this should be doable in python. Also, I think that a solid User Interface is very important for this task. Qt would be nice, but I still have trouble getting it to run properly with python. But that's a different story. And to avoid installing third-party libraries (on windows), Tk or a HTML-Interface seem to be the only choices. Is there anything like that around? If no, would anyone be interested in giving me a hand for this sort of project? Somebody that understands Tk would be useful, as I am mostly fluent in HTML&co. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
