Re: wxPythonUI changes

That's funny, because I too am working on a wxpython ui.

It also is based on the wxpythonui, but I converted it to use XRC and
added some features.

I have attached the code, but be warned, it is sparsely documented, but
I use it to mud on my linux box all the time.  I was planning on doing a
cleanup when I got closer to what I wanted. I have testing it alot on
Linux, and some on Windows(XP).

I don't think the exe will be smaller with wxPython, the libraries are huge.

P.S.
Here is my bugs, todo, and feature list so far:
### TODO ###
# ASK: TextCtrl does not resize correctly when Sizer Slot is displayed
# ASK: Set Maximum lines in TextCtrl
# ASK: How to change line height

# TODO: Pretty up the right click menu for the buffers and textctrls
# TODO: Add a scratch pad?
# TODO: Speed up tagging a lot of data (for the scrollback buffer)
# TODO: Tab Completion

# TODO
#  Add an editor for every type of data
#  Add a configurable statusbar
#  Tab completion (much like on linux)
#  A config panel for both the wxui and various parts of lyntin (ie.
history number)
#  Automatically bind the last 5 commands to the F2 to F6 keys

# Item managers
#  Have a tree ctrl
#  in the editors dir, have a module for each thing to edit
#   I.E ActionEdit.py
#  __init__.py in this dir will read in all these
#  Everytime a toplevel tree item is clicked, then the manager
#    for that action will read in all items and populate the treectrl

# Tab Completion (much like linux)
#   - Tab through matching
#   - Maybe take a list of commands?

### FEATURES ###
#  Windowing that remembers its position between instances
#  Colored Scroll Buffer (for Linux)
#  Title Bar changing
#  Save buffers from right click menu
#  Key Bindings
#  Autotyper (you can pick session to send output to)
#  Focus stays on MainWindow when opening Named Windows
#  Icon in taskbar (that can flash)

### BUGS: ###
#  Windows :
#   -   Setting the OutPut or ScrollBuffer Control as TE_RICH2 causes
#       the letters to hide when something is printed to it, however,
#       not setting it means no colors
#  Linux   :
#   -   Cannot have White text on Black Background for Command Entry

#  Colored ScrollBuffer takes a long time if a large amount of text is
#       present
#  When the OutPut window gets large, the frame is not drawn correctly,
#       time to restart the app.
#  When opening the scrollbuffer, multiple pageUp events can be sent

### TEST: ###
#  Focus on Windows
