Hi folks!
This is my first post. In short, I'd like to know whether it is a good idea=
to use PythonNet within a MVVM framework to glue the models (that rely on =
a Python package) to the user interface's view models and views (that rely =
on C# and WPF controls). If it is a good idea, I'd welcome advice (e.g. wor=
king with PythonNet within a Visual Studio C# project). If it is not a good=
idea, I'd welcome alternatives (e.g. Python GUIs with desktop functionalit=
y like docking).
Here are the details. I'm creating a graphical, desktop, turn-based game/si=
mulation based on the logic programming system, Clingo<https://potassco.org=
/>, which is accessible from Python (via import clingo<https://pypi.org/pro=
ject/clingo/>). While other language bindings exist for Clingo (including a=
nascent C# one<https://github.com/NEKERAFA/clingo-cs>), the Python binding=
appears to be the most complete and most popular.
However, I've only created GUI's using C# frameworks (WPF & Xamarin.Forms).=
Since I'd like this application to include docking, data grid, rich-text e=
ditor, tooltips, and other Windows desktop staples, I'm inclined to use WPF=
. I may have access to DevExpress' WPF controls<https://www.devexpress.com/=
products/net/controls/wpf/> and technical support, the latter of which migh=
t require me to use C# (not sure).
What do you think?
Thank you,
-david
