python for EE CAD program
Hi All, I have read some posts on this subject but I haven't been able to make a decision whether to use Python or not. I'm considering converting a Java CAD program to Python/C with wxWdigets for the GUI. I don't have good answers for: 1) Can I use py2exe or pyinstaller to produce an executable for Linux, Windows, and Mac? If not, is there a way it can be done? 2) Is there any way to protect the source code, like obfuscation? 3) Memory footprint of application seems large for python demo. Is this typical for large python applications? I guess the best thing to do is convert a little portion of the Java program and see how it works out with respect to the concerns above. Suggestions and comments appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

best GUI library for vector drawing program
Hello, What would be the best cross-platform GUI library to use for a vector based CAD program ( something like Visio on Windows ) WxWidgets, Tk, PyQt, Java Swing, Java SWT, I need the capibility to draw and edit in a window that looks like a page of paper so WYSIWYG is very important, and I need to save the drawings in vector based file formats like PS, EPS, SVG, as well as image formats like jpg, png, and gif. Also, the images need to be high resolution so that they can be pasted into various other programs in Windows OS, and Linux OS, and the Mac OS.

I should have also mentioned that is for a commercial application. That doesn't rule Qt or PyQt out, but this is a startup company with very little income so my first choice would be to use some GUI library that is free to use for commercial apps.

why did these companies choose Tcl over Python
Hello, As an electronics engineer I use some very expensive EDA CAD tool programs that are scriptable using Tcl. I was wondering why these companies have choose to use Tcl instead of Python. Some of these are: Mentor Graphics ModelTech VHDL and Verilog simulator Synopsys Design Compiler and Primetime Static Timing Analyzer Actel FPGA tools. Tcl seems to very popular in my business as the scripting language of choice. I'm in the process of deciding to use Tcl or Python for a CAD tool program that I have been working on.Most of the core of the program, the database, will be done is C as an extension to either Tcl or Python, but I intend to use Tk or wxPthon for the GUI. I do need publishing quality outputs from drawings done on a graphics device that are scaled to standard printer paper sizes. I would prefer to use Python but can't deny how popular Tcl is, as mentioned above, so my question is why wasn't Python selected by these companies as the choice of scripting languages for their product? Are there any obvious advantages like: performance, memory footprint, better cross-platform support, ease of use, Thanks in advance for your thoughts about this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi Tim, I would like to use Python and C and wxWidgets for my EDA CAD program. I want to put most of the program core in an Python extension and GUI in wxWidgets.
