Hi All, I just joined the list, and I think I'd probably like to help with at least a couple of backends for AnyGUI. So, I'm looking for where to start. My motivation is this: In my proposal about Python Browser Clients: http://www.anansispaceworks.net/NaryaInfo/client_html I referred to "Tkinter", but I wonder if substituting AnyGUI would make my job easier. To run in popular stock browsers like Netscape 4.x or IE 5, I'll need to run in Jython/Java-1 (not Java-2), which has AWT, but not Swing. I've heard Swing will run on Java-1, though, so I'm wondering if it's possible to delivering it with my applet instead of relying on it to be included with the interpreter. Is that even possible? Or should I be focusing on a ground-up implementation using only AWT? I think I'm also going to need to develop an SDL/PyGame based backend if I want to follow this up. Less sure about that part, though. I also noted the PyUI project -- which sounds like it might be faster to write a backend (renderer) for, especially in the environments I'm talking about. Would that make more sense perhaps? (I note that a PyUI backend for AnyGUI is "planned" but not working). So is there some kind of "Start Here" for someone who wants to implement a new (or extend an old) backend for AnyGUI?
